Hairline lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction surgery, involves the removal of excess forehead skin and advancing the scalp forward to lower the hairline. The procedure creates a more proportionate and balanced facial appearance by reshaping the forehead and reducing size.

Hairline lowering surgery, or forehead reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at lowering the hairline and reducing the size of the forehead. Individuals with a high or uneven hairline, large forehead, or receding hairline often seek it to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing facial profile.

Hairline lowering surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions along the natural hairline, removes excess skin, and advances the scalp forward to achieve the desired lower hairline. Careful closure of the incisions minimises scarring, and the entire process aims to create a more proportionate facial appearance.

Hairline lowering surgery is generally considered safe by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and changes in sensation. A thorough consultation with the surgeon and adherence to pre- and post-operative instructions are crucial for minimising risks.

Pain levels can vary among individuals, but most patients experience discomfort and tightness in the forehead area after hairline lowering surgery. This discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed pain medications and cold compresses. Patients often find pain or discomfort diminishes within a few days to weeks following the procedure.

Hairline lowering surgery provides long-lasting results, and the effects are generally considered permanent. However, individual outcomes can vary, and factors such as ageing and hair loss may influence the longevity of the results. In many cases, the benefits of a lower hairline achieved through surgery last for many years, contributing to a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial appearance.
