Forehead Reduction

Having a high hairline can be a genetic characteristic, and those who are affected may feel it causes an imbalance to their overall appearance. A forehead reduction (also known as hairline advancement or forehead lowering) can help to shorten the forehead and create a more rounded hairline.

About

What is Forehead Reduction Surgery?

Forehead reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline closer to the eyebrows. This technique is perfect for individuals who feel their forehead is disproportionately large or their hairline is receding. The result is a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.

This procedure is popular among women who want a softer, more traditionally feminine hairline, as well as men and women with naturally high foreheads looking for a more balanced appearance. At Leeds Private Hospital, our surgeons combine artistry and precision to ensure the outcome complements your facial features.

Who is a Good Candidate for Forehead Reduction?

It’s suitable for individuals who:

  • Have a naturally high hairline or large forehead.
  • Want a more proportionate facial appearance.
  • Have enough scalp flexibility to allow the hairline to be moved forward comfortably and without strain.
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s results.

It is also important that patients have no active hair loss or conditions that could compromise the stability of the hairline. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your suitability for the procedure and discuss your goals in detail.

What to Expect

Consultation 

Your surgeon will evaluate your hairline, scalp flexibility, and overall facial structure to develop a personalised plan. They’ll use advanced techniques to create a natural hairline that complements your features.

Making the Incision

A precise incision is made along your natural hairline, ensuring any scarring remains discreet and easily hidden within the hair.

Advancing the Hairline

The scalp is carefully shifted forward to lower the forehead height, and any excess skin from the upper forehead is removed.

Securing the New Hairline

The repositioned scalp is securely anchored in place with sutures to provide a stable and long-lasting result.

Closing the Incision

The incision is meticulously closed with fine sutures to encourage smooth healing and minimise visible scarring.

The entire procedure usually takes about 2-3 hours, depending on your specific needs and goals.

Combining Hairline Lowering with Other Procedures

Hairline lowering surgery can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall facial harmony, such as:

  • Hair Transplant: Fills in thinning areas for a fuller hairline.
  • Facelift: Addresses signs of ageing for a rejuvenated look.

Your surgeon will discuss all options during your consultation to create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your goals.
