IDHOSPITAL

ID Hospital’s hairline forehead reduction is a procedure where an incision is made along the hairline in order to shorten or correct the shape of the forehead.

Who would benefit from forehead reduction?

The ideal length from a woman’s hairline to eyebrows is between 5.5-6cm. However, if you’re not among those blessed with the perfect ratio and you have an overly high or wide forehead, then hairline forehead reduction might be for you.

Forehead reduction can also help those who have thinned or lost hair on their temples / forehead. This surgery is also a popular choice for those undergoing facial feminization, as a man’s natural hairline is higher than a woman’s.

What’s the benefit of forehead reduction over hair transplant?

The main benefit of forehead reduction over hair transplant is that the result looks more natural. This is because a hair transplant will replace missing hair with hair from the back of the patient’s head. But this thicker hair may appear awkward along the hairline. Whereas with forehead reduction, the natural thin whisps of hair along the forehead remain present.

What about scarring?

In to perform a forehead reduction, an incision needs to be made along the entire hairline. However, at ID Hospital we use a waved-line incision in order to reduce scarring as much as possible and hide the incision amongst the hair.
