Types of Forehead reduction procedures
There are various types of forehead reduction procedures that a patient can opt for. This depends on what kind of treatment he/she is looking for.
Hairline lowering or forehead reduction is achieved thru surgical hairline advancement. You can also opt for hair grafting.
Surgical Hairline advancement: This surgery is done on the forehead. In this procedure, the skin next to the hairline is removed and the remaining part is stitched back. This results in shortening of the hairline and lowering of the forehead. The scar can be hidden by hair grafting. We advise choosing this procedure with the forehead reduction surgery. A biodegradable scalp is also put behind the skin which attaches the skin to the muscles. This helps to avoid scarring.
Grafting: Grafting is the process of bringing down the hairline. It is done by grafting the hair in front of the hairline. The more layers of hair are grafted in front of the hairline, the more it reduces the forehead size. Some opt for this procedure independently of supporting surgery. It can also be done with surgical hairline advancement. This extra step will lower the forehead size even further. The great part of grafting is that it is non-surgical.
