Hairline advancement

Hairline advancement, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to lower the hairline and reduce the height of the forehead. This surgery is ideal for individuals who feel self-conscious about a high hairline or large forehead. By repositioning the hairline, hairline advancement can create a more balanced and proportionate facial appearance. The procedure involves removing a section of the forehead skin and carefully advancing the hairline to the desired position, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing look.

Hairline Advancement Forehead Reduction

The process

The hairline advancement process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your goals and evaluate your hairline and forehead structure. Our surgeons discuss the procedure and develop a personalized plan to achieve a natural and balanced appearance.

Preparation for your hairline reduction includes detailed pre-surgery instructions, dietary guidelines, and any necessary medications. Our team ensures you are fully prepared for a safe and successful surgical experience.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. A zig-zag incision is made along the hairline, known as a pretrichial incision, which camouflages the scar within the hairline. The incision preserves hair follicles while shortening the forehead. Dr. Song then skillfully advances the hairline, adjusting it to achieve a natural and balanced outcome.

After a hairline advancement surgery, sutures are removed during the one-week follow-up visit. Patients are instructed to wear a compressive head wrap dressing for the first 48 hours. Swelling along the forehead and scalp is common and typically resolves within a few weeks. Numbness of the scalp is also common and will gradually return to normal sensation.

I always have an amazing experience with Molly at True Aesthetics! I truly appreciate her kindness and honesty—she’ll tell me when I don’t need something, even when it’s what I’ve booked for. Her approach is thoughtful and careful, and the results are beautifully balanced and perfect for me. She also offers guidance on treatments I might consider down the road, without any pressure. I always feel listened to and cared for, and I trust her completely! Thank you, Molly... always.
