Forehead Reduction: Harmonize Your Facial Proportions
Overview
Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead and create a more balanced facial appearance. This surgery involves moving the hairline forward to decrease the size of the forehead. It is ideal for individuals who feel their forehead is disproportionately large. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Traditional Forehead Reduction: Involves making an incision along the hairline and removing a strip of skin before advancing the scalp forward to lower the hairline. This approach is suitable for significant forehead reduction.
- Forehead Reduction with Hair Grafting: For patients with thinning hair or who need additional hair density, this procedure combines forehead reduction with hair grafting to ensure a natural and dense hairline.
Benefits:
- Reduced forehead height for better facial harmony
- Improved balance and aesthetics of the face
- Enhanced self-confidence and satisfaction with appearance
- Long-lasting results with proper care
Risks:
- Infection or bleeding
- Scarring, though typically well-hidden along the hairline
- Changes in skin sensation or numbness
- Hair loss along the incision site
- Asymmetry or need for revision surgery
Our expert surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, although complete healing may take several months.
