What is Hairline Advancement?
Hairline advancement, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is designed to reduce the size of the forehead and lower the hairline. This procedure also helps shape the hairline, rounding out sharp areas of recession in the temples, if needed. For those with a receding hairline or a larger forehead, this can help patients boost their confidence and feel more comfortable with what they see in the mirror.
Hairline advancement is often combined with a brow lift for the ultimate facial rejuvenation.
Patient Testimonial
Incisionless Otoplasty, Xeomin
Dr. H is an exceptional physician! I visited her for Xeomin injections and a consultation for Otoplasty (ear pinning surgery). She was professional, warm, and attentive, answering all my questions and ensuring I felt at ease. I wanted a “frozen but natural” look, and she guided me through my concerns without any pressure. The injections were quick and painless, and the results were exactly what I hoped for. As for the Otoplasty, I had avoided it my entire life (I’m 39) because surgery felt too invasive. Dr. H introduced me to an incision-less option, and I immediately signed up. The procedure was done in the clinic with only a numbing injection—I felt nothing! I couldn’t be happier with the results and am so grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate surgeon.
What are the Benefits of Hairline Advancement?
There are a wide variety of benefits to hairline advancement surgery, including the following:
- Smaller forehead: The procedure will shorten the distance between the brow and the hairline, enhancing your facial proportions.
- Lower hairline: The surgery is specifically designed to lower your hairline, bringing it forward on the forehead to address recession or a naturally high hairline.
- More youthful appearance: By reducing the size of the forehead and bringing the hairline forehead, this unique procedure can give you the youthful appearance you’re looking for.
- Boost in confidence: Many patients notice a boost in confidence and self-esteem after they heal and recover from their hairline advancement procedure.
- Two-in-one: Through the same incision, a brow lift can be performed concurrently to open your eyes and improve brow contour.
The Hairline Advancement Procedure
To start your hairline advancement, we’ll administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort. From there, an incision is placed right behind your natural hairline and extends into the scalp. Dr. Hassanzadeh will then pull and lower the hairline about 2-3 centimeters (about an inch). She can also round out any sharp areas along the hairline to give a softer, more feminine appearance.
Once all the necessary changes are made, excess skin will be removed. Dr. Hassanzadeh will close the incisions using sutures and small clips, and you’ll be able to start the recovery process.
Hairline Advancement Recovery
After your hairline advancement procedure, you will need to wear a compression dressing for several days. You will likely have swelling and bruising, and numbness of the scalp is common, but those side effects will dissipate after a few weeks. You’ll want to keep your head elevated to reduce swelling and aid in the healing process. You’ll also be prescribed pain medication to ensure you’re comfortable throughout your recovery.
After a week, you’ll come into the office to have your staples removed. You will start to notice results after about a month, but final results typically take a year to fully appear.
Who is a Candidate?
Men and women who are struggling with the size of their forehead and/or their hairline are typically good candidates for hairline advancement. We also recommend patients be in generally good health, be nonsmokers, have realistic expectations, and not have any medical conditions that could affect the healing process.
