A foreheadplasty, more commonly known as a forehead reduction or hairline lowering surgery, is a procedure designed to reduce the distance between the hairline and the eyebrows to create a more balanced facial appearance. We typically achieve a reduction of 2.0–2.5 cm, depending on your scalp’s natural flexibility.

An ideal candidate for foreheadplasty typically has a naturally high hairline and a large forehead but possesses good scalp laxity, meaning the skin is flexible enough to be moved forward comfortably. It is most effective for individuals with thick hair density at the hairline, as this helps to naturally camouflage the surgical incision. Candidates should generally have a stable hairline without active or progressive hair loss to ensure the results remain consistent over time. This procedure is also well-suited for those who feel the upper third of their face is disproportionately large compared to their other features and are looking for a permanent, immediate solution rather than waiting for the gradual results of a hair transplant. If you do not have thick hair density at your hairline, consider hair transplant as a more appropriate option.

Expert Surgical Artistry

The success of a foreheadplasty relies on precision. Our surgeons have a meticulous approach to facial harmony and creating a natural-looking hairline that balances the proportions of your face, ensuring that the results look natural.

Advanced Techniques for Invisible Results

We understand that scarring is a primary concern. To address this, we often utilise a trichophytic closure. This advanced technique allows hair to actually grow through the incision line, helping to hide the scar and making the transition from forehead to hair appear seamless.

Holistic Facial Rejuvenation

A foreheadplasty at Wood MediSpa can be more than just lowering a hairline. Many patients choose to combine the procedure with a brow lift. This dual approach can smooth out deep forehead wrinkles and lift the brows, providing a more refreshed and youthful look in a single surgical session.
