Increasing forehead size by shifting hairline backwards

Danche1
Hi doctors, I am looking to increase the size of my forehead, which is quite small, by shifting my hairline back. Is this something possible with a brow lift, based on my understanding of the incisions are done behind the hairline it can shift it backwards by 1 inch or so maximum. If so, is there a difference between a traditional brow lift and an endoscopic one? In addition, would the surgeon be able to adjust the shape of the hairline slightly to be a more rounded as opposed to straight (for men). Grateful if you could also let me know if there are more suitable procedures for this concern. I am a male in my late 20s so this is something I am considering since my parents or grandparents do not have receding hairlines, and a brow lift would also help with hooding of eyelids. Many thanks in advance! Danche
