What is hairline lowering surgery?

Long and prominent forehead can affect negatively on face beauty and balance. Several reasons cause high forehead such as genetics or possibly hair loss. For Asian women, usually favorable height for hairline is 5.5-6 cm from the midpoint of the eyebrows. If you wish to have shorter forehead, don’t worry! Hairline lowering surgery that is also called forehead reduction surgery is an effective solution. It can be used in both men and women who feel their forehead is very tall, or the hairline is high.

• The best candidates are people who desire to have better looking forehead • People with thick hairs • Non-smokers

Before the procedure

Smoking delays the healing process so smoking must stop for one month before surgery. The doctor should know about medical history and all medicines of patient. Some medications like aspirin, plavix and dabigatran or warfarin and rivaroxaban and any anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or celecoxib should be held under the doctor’s supervision. Also supplements such as gingko biloba, omega 3, fish oil, St Johns Wart and vitamin E must be held due to increasing risk of bleeding during the surgery.
