Forehead Reduction Surgery
What Is It?
Forehead reduction surgery is an aesthetic surgical procedure aimed at shortening the forehead by moving the hairline forward. It is typically preferred by individuals with a naturally high forehead or those whose forehead has expanded due to hair loss. An incision is made in the hairline, and the hairline is moved forward, creating a more proportionate appearance for the forehead.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The surgery typically takes 1.5–2 hours. It is usually performed under general anesthesia, although sedation with local anesthesia may also be preferred in some cases.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
A long upper third portion of the face can make a person appear older and create an imbalance in facial features. Forehead reduction helps achieve a better proportion with the lower and middle parts of the face, improving the overall aesthetic appearance.
Get in Touch
Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for individuals with a high forehead structure, a receded hairline, and good skin elasticity. This procedure is particularly more common in female patients.
Recovery Process
The recovery process typically takes 7–10 days. In the first few days, mild swelling and a feeling of tightness may occur. Since the incisions are hidden within the hairline, scars will gradually fade over time. Final results become more apparent within 2–3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will there be hair loss?
Occasionally, temporary hair loss may occur near the incision line.
Will there be scars?
Since the incisions are made within the hairline, they are usually not noticeable from the outside.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, when the hairline is moved forward, permanent forehead shortening is achieved.
Forehead reduction surgery, when performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close collaboration with the patient, allows for achieving natural and harmonious results that maintain the overall aesthetic balance of the face. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, individualized planning plays a key role in the success of the procedure.
