Hairline correction treatment is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of a person’s forehead and hairline by lowering them to a more proportional position with the rest of the facial features. It is a cosmetic surgery that is performed in both men and women, and it is often used to correct an overly broad or high forehead caused by heredity, hair loss or even from previous hair transplants. The results from this treatment are immediately gratifying and are very popular with both male and female patients who are self-conscious about their forehead.
A wide and deep forehead can make an otherwise attractive face appear unbalanced. A disproportionately large forehead can also make the eyes and nose appear too small in relation to the ears and mouth, leading to a “square” or boxy appearance. The problem can be exacerbated by the fact that a high and prominent forehead is usually not covered by the hair, which means it cannot be camouflaged or disguised. Fortunately, the problem can be easily corrected through a hairline advancement or forehead reduction procedure.
During this surgery, a careful and well-hidden incision is made along the forehead and the excess scalp skin is removed. In most cases, the hairline can be advanced by a few centimeters in a single procedure. The procedure can be combined with a brow bone reduction to reduce the size of the orbital socket, making a very broad forehead appear much less prominent. This is particularly useful for transgender patients who are in the process of transitioning from male to female, as it helps them achieve a more feminine-looking facial appearance.강남헤어라인교정시술
Another option for hairline lowering and forehead reduction is to perform a hair transplant in combination with the surgical procedure. This involves the removal of hair-bearing scalp from thicker areas in the back of the head and then implanting the follicular units into the lower portion of the forehead and ear-to-ear with the hairline. This method of hairline augmentation does not involve any linear incisions along the forehead, but it usually does not achieve as much density as a traditional hairline lowering surgery.
The outcome from hairline lowering surgery can be long-lasting, but the procedure is not without its risks. It is important to follow the surgeon’s pre- and post-operative instructions carefully in order to minimize pain, swelling and bruising. Some patients may experience a temporary numbness in the forehead and scalp, but this should fade over time.
