Glossary Hairline Surgery

involves advancing the hairline to reduce forehead height

Hairline Surgery, also known as Hairline Lowering Surgery or Forehead Reduction Surgery, is a cosmetic 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 repositioning the scalp forward, which can create a more balanced facial appearance and is often sought by individuals with a high hairline or large forehead.

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?
