What is Forehead Reduction Surgery?

Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by moving the hairline forward. This surgery is often sought by individuals who feel their forehead is disproportionately large or out of balance with their facial features. At Manchester Private Hospital, we specialise in offering safe, effective, and transformative forehead reduction surgeries to help our patients achieve their desired look.

Why Choose Forehead Reduction Surgery?

A large forehead can affect self-confidence and overall facial harmony. Forehead reduction surgery provides a permanent solution to this concern by:

  • Creating a more proportionate facial structure.
  • Enhancing facial aesthetics and balance.
  • Boosting self-confidence and satisfaction with your appearance.

The procedure is tailored to each patient, ensuring natural and pleasing results.

Forehead reduction surgery involves carefully advancing the hairline to shorten the forehead. Here is an outline of the process:

Initial Consultation:

  • A thorough evaluation of your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
  • Discussion about the procedure, risks, and expected results.

Surgical Steps:

  • Precise incisions are made along the natural hairline.
  • The scalp is carefully repositioned forward, reducing the height of the forehead.
  • The incisions are closed using advanced techniques to minimise visible scars.
