Forehead Reduction, also known as Hairline Lowering, is a surgical procedure to reduce the height of the forehead.
The size of the forehead is unique to individuals, and having a certain shape or size of forehead doesn’t necessarily determine whether you require Hairline Lowering surgery if it suits your appearance. Hairline Lowering provides an effective and long-term solution for those who feel their forehead is disproportionate to the rest of their face or doesn’t fit their identity.
Forehead Reduction surgery involves your surgeon making an incision concealed within your hairline along the upper forehead. A section of the forehead skin is removed, and the scalp is brought forward and attached to the new position, lowering the hairline and making the forehead smaller.
By reducing the size of the forehead, the proportions of the face are brought into balance, creating a harmonious and flattering appearance. This can improve concerns such as asymmetry.

During your consultation, your consultant will show you a range of Forehead Reduction before and after images to give you an understanding of the results that are possible. This is important so you can have a good understanding of the results that are possible for you, based on your concerns.
Your surgeon will show you patients who had similar concerns to you prior to their surgery so you have a valuable comparison point.

Hairline Lowering or Forehead Reduction surgery has several aesthetic benefits:
The benefits of Hairline Lowering vary among patients depending on their concerns and desired results. During your consultation, your consultant will discuss your reasons for wanting surgery to ensure your procedure is beneficial and you get the best results.
People undergo Hairline Lowering or Forehead Reduction for many reasons. Hairline Lowering is a highly versatile procedure and can address a range of concerns, depending on the result you are hoping to achieve.
Ultimately, people have Hairline Lowering surgery because they are concerned about the appearance of their forehead or hairline. Forehead and hairline concerns have many causes and it is important to understand the factors affecting you to prepare for your consultation.
Your surgeon will discuss the causes of your forehead and hairline concerns during your consultation to help them determine the best approach and results for your procedure.
Your surgeon will assess your suitability for Hairline Lowering as part of your consultation. They will discuss your concerns and reasons for wanting Hairline Lowering, before examining your forehead and hairline. To decide whether you are suitable for surgery, they will consider a number of factors.
Your surgeon will take measurements of your upper face and forehead. Typically, to be considered proportionate, your hairline should be 6-7cm above your eyebrows. Lowering the hairline may benefit those whose hairline sits higher than this.
They will also discuss your desired results and what you hope to achieve from a Forehead Reduction procedure. If they feel you would benefit more from a different procedure, such as a Brow Lift or Hair Transplant, they will discuss this with you and explain how to seek an alternative option if they don’t offer it themselves.
As Hairline Lowering involves bringing your scalp forward, the flexibility of your scalp skin is important. Your surgeon must be able to manipulate your scalp enough to bring it forward comfortably. If you have limited scalp flexibility, additional techniques such as tissue expansion or grafting may be required to carry out the procedure.
The incision for Hairline Lowering usually sits within your hairline to conceal the scar, achieving a discrete result. Your surgeon will assess your hair’s thickness and growth pattern to ensure this is achievable and will make sure you understand if the scar may be visible.
It is important to make your surgeon aware of any previous facial surgeries you have had, such as a Facelift. Previous procedures may affect the skin’s elasticity and could impact how the procedure is carried out, or any additional techniques that may be required.
We have invited a selection of the country's very best consultants to join us at the Cadogan Clinic so that you can be sure that whatever the nature of your treatment, you will be seeing one of the top practitioners in the country.
Is Hairline Lowering effective?
Hairline Lowering is a highly effective solution for balancing the face's proportions, reducing the forehead's size and creating a more even and dense hairline. When carried out by a specialist plastic surgeon, the results are natural and enhance the appearance, without looking obvious.
Is Hairline Lowering permanent?
Forehead reduction surgery is permanent, and the hairline will stay in its lowered position for life. However, Hairline Lowering cannot prevent further hair loss and if your hairline continues to recede, you may require further treatment such as a Hair Transplant.
What is the difference between Hairline Lowering and Hair Transplant?
Although both Hairline Lowering and Hair Transplant can achieve the appearance of a thicker hairline, they use different techniques. Hairline Lowering moves the position of the hairline, achieving the appearance of greater hair density. A Hair Transplant involves taking donor hair follicles from another area with thicker hair and moving them to thinner areas.
