What is Forehead Reduction?
This procedure has many names such as forehead reduction, hairline lowering, hairline advancement, or scalp advancement. There are many patients who seek treatment for high foreheads. Most often this is a genetic trait and less commonly due to hair loss.
A beautiful face should display balance and harmony. If an upper third of the face, which is the forehead, is too long/ too high or too large it can disrupt this harmony. Therefore, patients with high foreheads can benefit from forehead shortening and can be offered a forehead reduction procedure.
The Forehead Reduction Procedure
In this procedure, the excess forehead skin is removed and the hairline is advanced to a more forward position. This can be combined with brow elevation (brow lift) if needed. The incision is hidden in the hairline and becomes almost invisible after it heals. The incision is designed in a special way to let the hair grow through the incision after surgery to hide it even further. The amount of advancement is determined after careful analysis of the forehead, the hairline, the brow, hair loss (if any) among many other factors. The location and design of the incision, degree of advancement, the shape of the new hairline are some of the factors that differentiate average results from GREAT results. Dr. Jumaily had specialized training in this specific procedure and has performed numerous forehead reduction procedures.
