Forehead Reduction
Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by moving the hairline forward. This procedure is often sought by individuals who feel that their forehead is disproportionately large or high, which can affect the overall harmony of the facial features. The surgery involves removing a portion of the forehead skin and then advancing the scalp to a lower position, which results in a shorter forehead and a more balanced facial appearance.
The procedure typically takes about two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Recovery time is relatively quick, with most patients able to return to normal activities within a week to ten days. Initial swelling and bruising are common but usually subside within two weeks. The results of forehead reduction surgery are permanent, providing a more aesthetically pleasing hairline and facial proportion.
