Forehead reduction or cranioplasty? (Photo)

May 21, 2024
Asked By:Christina907 in Seattle, Washington

My head shape has been my biggest insecurity since I can remember. I would like to know if a forehead reduction (hairline advancement) with a small skull surgery (Bone-type cement that doesn’t require prior scalp stretch) would do the job, or do I need a full 2-stage cranioplasty to get the volume I desire?

Can I keep my rounded hairline after a forehead lowering?
Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD says:

When you make an incision to pull the hairline forward, it is a straight line and when you pull it, it tends to get straighter. You have a nice hairline shape, and without a side view it is hard to know if hairline advancement makes much sense. We do a lot of feminization hairline and hair...
