GlossaryHairline Lowering (Forehead Reduction)

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.
