Forehead reduction surgery is performed to lower an excessively high or wide forehead by advancing the hairline downward. This procedure adjusts the overall facial ratio to achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance. Unlike hair transplantation, forehead reduction surgery provides immediate visible improvement without waiting for hair regrowth. By carefully controlling incision design and preserving the muscle and surrounding structures, the procedure can create a smaller-looking face along with a naturally lowered hairline.

Ideal Candidates: Ideal candidates are those who feel their forehead is too wide or high, causing an unbalanced or elongated facial proportion. Individuals with an M-shaped or receding hairline, or those whose forehead shape appears large from the front or profile view, may benefit significantly from this procedure...
