GlossaryHairline Lowering

surgical procedure to reduce forehead height by advancing hairline

Hairline Lowering, also known as Forehead Reduction or Hairline Advancement, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline. This is typically achieved by removing a strip of skin from the upper forehead and then pulling the scalp forward. The procedure is often sought by individuals who feel their forehead is disproportionately large or who have a high hairline due to genetics or hair loss.

community Verterporfin combined with hairline lowering?

in Technology 8 upvotes 11 months ago

Verteporfin might be a potential cure for hair loss and could heal scars, which may lead to natural-looking results when combined with hairline lowering surgery. One person suggests waiting to see if verteporfin actually works as claimed.

community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?
