What the procedure involves.
Forehead reduction surgery (hairline lowering) decreases the distance between the eyebrows and hairline by advancing the scalp forward. Chinese craniofacial surgeons offer this procedure with trichophytic closure techniques that allow hair to grow through the scar for maximum concealment. It is an effective solution for patients with a disproportionately large forehead.
Step by step.
Hairline Analysis
Measurement of forehead proportions and scalp laxity to determine achievable advancement
Incision Design
Irregular trichophytic incision planned along the existing hairline for optimal scar concealment
Scalp Advancement
Under general anesthesia, the scalp is released from underlying tissue and advanced forward 1-3cm
Trichophytic Closure
Wound edges are trimmed at an angle to encourage hair growth through the scar line
- Immediately reduces forehead height by 1-3cm
- More proportionate facial appearance
- Trichophytic technique hides the scar within hair
- Permanent results without ongoing maintenance
- Visible scar if hair does not grow through adequately
- Temporary numbness of the scalp
- Hair loss around the incision site
- Limited advancement if scalp laxity is insufficient
