✔ Medically reviewed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah — M.B., M.S., M.Ch., D.N.B., Board-Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon, Director of Elegance Clinic, Surat (22+ years’ experience).
Forehead shaping, also known as forehead contouring or forehead reduction, is a surgical procedure that alters the shape and appearance of the forehead. The goal of the procedure is to create a more aesthetically pleasing forehead that is in proportion to the rest of the face.
Forehead shaping can be done to address several concerns, such as a high forehead, a receding hairline, or a prominent brow ridge. The procedure can be done using a variety of techniques, such as hair transplant, scalp reduction, or brow lift.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires an incision in the scalp, depending on the technique used. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual's overall health and the type of surgery performed. Swelling, redness, and numbness can be expected and should be expected to last for a few days.
It's also important to note that forehead shaping is not a commonly performed procedure and it is not considered a medically necessary surgery. The procedure is considered a cosmetic or aesthetic surgery and the decision to undergo this procedure should be carefully considered, discussed with a qualified surgeon and well-informed about the potential risks and benefits.
It is important to work with a well-trained and experienced surgeon who understands the unique needs and goals of the patient. And also consult with a therapist that have experience in working with people who are self-conscious about their appearance.
