Overview

Forehead surgery is a procedure performed when facial proportions are less than ideal—such as due to a wide or flat forehead, or a hairline that needs adjustment—to find the right forehead proportions for the face by simultaneously adjusting the width, volume, and hairline of the forehead. The incision is planned along the hairline so that it is concealed by the hair.

Features

POINT 01 — Follicle-Sparing Incision Technique

We plan the hairline incision to minimize damage to the hair follicles, ensuring a natural-looking hairline.

POINT 02 — 1:1 Customized Solutions

You can plan forehead reduction, lifting, and volume enhancement all at once with a single incision.

POINT 03 — Scar Design

We design the incision line in a zigzag pattern and suture it closely to minimize the visibility of the scar.

Methods

CHECK 01 — Golden Ratio Forehead Design

We design a hairline that complements the overall facial proportions by taking into account the proportions of the forehead, mid-face, and lower face.

CHECK 02 — 3-in-1 Orthodontics

We resect skin from a wide forehead to bring the hairline forward, release adhesions between the skin and bone to create volume, and reshape the hairline. Implants can also be inserted if necessary.

Treatment steps

STEP 01 — Facial Proportions Analysis

We assess your facial proportions and design the surgical areas through a consultation.

STEP 02 — Design Breakdown

We plan the incision along the hairline so that the scar is concealed as the hair grows back.

STEP 03 — Customized Surgical Procedures

Depending on the patient’s needs, we may release adhesions between the forehead and the skull to create volume or perform a forehead lift in conjunction with this procedure.

STEP 04 — Fixed and Nerve Preservation

The procedure is performed using Endotine and other methods to secure the graft while preserving the scalp nerves.

Questions and answers

Where do scars form?

Incisions are planned to align with the hairline so they are concealed by the hair; scar healing varies from person to person.

Do you also perform forehead lifts?

A forehead lift may be performed concurrently as needed; further details will be provided during your consultation.

Is an implant really necessary?

Whether an implant is inserted depends on the condition of your forehead and your goals; this will be explained during your consultation.
