Forehead Reduction (Hairline Lowering): Achieve Perfect Facial Harmony

The proportions of our facial features play a crucial role in our overall appearance. For many individuals, a naturally high or prominent forehead can create a sense of imbalance and self-consciousness. Forehead Reduction, also known as Hairline Lowering surgery, is a highly effective and transformative procedure designed to correct this by surgically advancing the hairline to a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing position.

An Advanced Surgical Technique for a Balanced Profile

This sophisticated procedure offers a permanent solution for reducing the height of the forehead. Our expert surgeons in Antalya perform the surgery with meticulous attention to detail to ensure a natural and virtually undetectable result.

The procedure involves making a precise incision right along the natural hairline. This allows the surgeon to gently advance the entire hair-bearing scalp forward, remove a segment of the excess forehead skin, and then secure the hairline in its new, lower position. We utilize an advanced "trichophytic" incision technique, which is designed to allow hair to grow directly through the eventual scar, providing excellent camouflage and a seamless transition.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Forehead Reduction?

This procedure is best suited for individuals who:

• Are bothered by a naturally high hairline and a disproportionately large forehead.

• Have good scalp flexibility (laxity).

• Have a stable hairline with no significant history of progressive hair loss.

• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the outcome.

Key Benefits of Hairline Lowering:

• Improved Facial Proportions: Creates a more balanced and harmonious relationship between your hairline, eyebrows, and other facial features.

• A Permanently Balanced Appearance: Unlike temporary solutions, the results of this surgical procedure are permanent.

• Higher Self-Confidence: Many patients experience a significant boost in confidence, with more freedom in their choice of hairstyles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q: How long does the surgery take?

  • A: The procedure typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours.

• Q: What is the recovery period like?

  • A: The initial recovery, including swelling and bruising, usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. Most patients can return to work and non-strenuous daily activities within this timeframe.

• Q: Are the results permanent?

  • A: Yes, the hairline is permanently moved to its new position, providing a lifelong result.

• Q: What about the risks, like scarring?

  • A: As with any surgery, there are risks. The primary cosmetic risk is the incision scar. However, our surgeons place the incision meticulously along the hairline and use techniques that allow hair to grow through it, making it very inconspicuous once fully healed. Temporary hair thinning near the incision can occur but typically resolves within a few months.
