Forehead Plasty

A foreheadplasty (also known as hairline lowering surgery) reduces a high forehead, bringing the hairline down:

• It can bring the hairline down to improve facial harmony and balance

• It can address issues such as forehead wrinkles, sagging brows, and forehead furrows

• It can contribute to a more youthful and attractive overall facial appearance.

Foreheadplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. Precise measurements are made and incisions are placed, along the hairline. The surgeon removes the excess skin and re-drapes the scalp tissues to reduce the size of the forehead.

A foreheadplasty typically takes about 1 to 2 hours to complete. You may need to stay in the hospital overnight. The downtime after a foreheadplasty varies, but the majority of patients experience swelling and bruising, which subsides within 1 to 2 weeks. The final results can be seen within a few weeks and are generally long-lasting.
