Forehead reduction or cranioplasty? (Photo)

Question

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?

Ali Riza Öreroglu, MD · Answer

Based on what I can see from the photos, there appears to be a noticeable prominence in the forehead and a relatively high hairline that may be contributing to your aesthetic concerns. In cases like this, I personally prefer forehead reduction (hairline lowering) surgery as the first approach. This procedure brings the hairline forward, creating a shorter and more balanced forehead, which also helps visually minimize the upper forehead or skull contour. Of course, a thorough in-person physical examination is essential to confirm skin elasticity and surgical suitability, but from the images alone, it seems likely that a forehead reduction alone could provide excellent results without the need for a more invasive, two-stage cranioplasty.

This is something I do several times each week.  Adjusting the forehead bone back while bringing the hairline forward should provide an appearance that is much more akin to what you are seeking. It would take about 90 minutes to do the procedure.  It is a 1-stage procedure.
