At carolina face and body, we understand how the proportions of your face impact your overall appearance and confidence. Forehead reduction surgery is also known as hairline lowering surgery. It is a specialized cosmetic procedure. The procedure shortens the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline. This results in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing position.
Your high forehead may be hereditary. It could also be the result of hair loss or previous surgery. This procedure offers a permanent, natural-looking solution. Our approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring that the new hairline complements your facial features while maintaining a seamless transition between the scalp and forehead
what the procedure involves
Forehead reduction surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation here in our IN-OFFICE procedure room. A precise incision is made along the natural hairline, and the forehead skin is carefully advanced and repositioned. Excess skin is then removed, and the incision is meticulously closed to minimize visible scarring.
benefits of forehead reduction

who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates include individuals with a high hairline. They should also have good skin elasticity and no history of extensive scalp scarring.
