Hairline Lowering Surgery: Important Points to Know

For most people, having a high hairline or hairline lowering is undesirable as it causes the appearance of a wide forehead. To solve this undesirable appearance, DR MFO recommends Hairline Lowering Surgery.

The aesthetic condition of the forehead area significantly affects the perception of the appearance of the face. In classical facial aesthetics, a balanced and attractive face is divided into three equal parts. The forehead area makes up one third of this proportion. This situation has brought the surgeries performed to correct the hairline to the forefront.

Most people think that they have a perfectly proportioned face or that they do not have the face they want. For those who feel more self-conscious about their facial proportions than usual, surgically lowering your hairline can help correct an uneven hairline or a large forehead. In this article we will discuss hairline surgery.

What is Hairline Lowering Surgery? 

Hairline lowering surgery moves your hairline lower, making the forehead and overall facial features proportionate and ideal. It is preferred for individuals whose hairline recedes due to genetic factors, various conditions or aging, or who think that their forehead is large. 

There are 2 types of methods that are frequently preferred in facial feminization: There is hairline reduction surgery: Forehead Reduction and Hair Transplantation. We will discuss these two procedures in more detail later.

1. Hairline Transplant Procedure

Hairline lowering transplantation is one of the two surgical methods used to make the forehead look smaller and meet personal expectations.
The process is shaped according to the surgeon’s assessment of the individual’s expectations. The procedure is usually performed using local anesthesia and sedation from start to finish. This means that the person undergoing the procedure will be awake but will not feel pain.

Using the FUE or FUT technique, donor hair follicles are usually taken from the back or sides of the scalp. After the donor hair follicles are collected and ready, the surgeon starts the graft placement process. With modern techniques, they place the grafts in small recipient areas in the area of the new hairline. The angle, direction and density of the transplanted hair are carefully determined to achieve a natural looking hair transplant and the best results are achieved. You should follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully to promote efficient healing and the best possible outcome.

2. Forehead Reduction Procedure

Forehead reduction is the other surgical procedure offered to reduce the size of your forehead by lowering your hairline. As with hairline lowering transplantation, the surgeon’s assessments will shape the process. Your surgeon will best plan the extent of the forehead reduction and the placement of the incisions based on your facial shape and the desired outcome. Forehead reduction is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgery is an invasive procedure.

During surgery, excess forehead skin and underlying tissue are carefully removed without damaging the nerves and blood vessels. In some cases, hair transplant procedures and/or brow lifts are performed in conjunction with forehead reduction surgery to achieve the best result. After surgery, the incisions are carefully closed with sutures or staples.
Your surgeon will give you the necessary instructions regarding the initial recovery period. At some times during the healing process, you will need to come to follow-up appointments.

How much does Hairline Lowering Surgery cost?

The cost of hairline reduction surgery depends on the procedure to be performed on the individual. The cost of a hair transplant ranges from 2,500 to 6,000 USD on average in Turkey. Cost Breakdown at DR MFO Clinic: Many clinics charge per graft and prices average between 2 and 3 dollars per graft. Forehead reduction surgery costs an average of $1,700 to $3,000.
