Recovery & results

Swelling and tightness are normal in the early stages and gradually settle over the following weeks. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities relatively quickly, with continued improvement as healing progresses. Results are natural and balanced, creating a more proportionate hairline without appearing surgical.

ABOUT TREATMENT

Forehead Reduction Treatments

Forehead reduction surgery is a popular cosmetic option to change forehead height or lower the hairline. Several factors, like genetics, hair loss, injuries, or prior surgeries, can contribute to a larger forehead.

    The amount the hairline can be lowered depends on factors like: Scalp laxity, Facial proportions, Hair density Your surgeon will assess your scalp mobility and suggest a realistic hairline position that improves balance without compromising natural anatomy.

    Yes. Forehead reduction is often safely combined with procedures such as brow lift, hair transplant, or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Combining treatments can enhance overall facial harmony and reduce total recovery time, depending on your suitability.

    Scarring is usually minimal. The incision is carefully placed along the natural hairline, so once healed, the scar is well concealed within the hair and fades significantly over time.

    Forehead reduction surgery is generally not painful during the procedure as it is performed under anaesthesia. After surgery, patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort, tightness, or swelling, which is well controlled with prescribed pain medication and typically improves within a few days.
