Forehead Shortening
A broad forehead or an exceptionally high forehead may make your face look weird, unbalanced, or even misaligned. A broad forehead or a very high hairline is sometimes related to age, but often it is due to a receding hairline or can be the result of prior facial surgery. To those trying to make a drastic difference in looks by cosmetic surgery to get a lower hairline, a reduction in the forehead will bring stability to your face.
Forehead Shortening also meant to refer to as Hairline Lowering Surgery or Forehead Plasty, is a medical procedure that reduces the space between the brow line and the hairline. A plastic surgeon removes a portion of the forehead skin and adds the hairline to it, reducing the hairline and adding more balance and even space between the facial features. It can be done in combination with a brow lift, but it is not always necessary. The reduction of the forehead will effectively minimize the size of the forehead and thereby help smooth the features of the face. Forehead reduction is also used to establish a more feminine appearance on the forehead.
The elongated incision follows a zig-zag pattern that mimics the natural design of the hairline, offering the postoperative hairline a more normal feel. The skin above the marked hairline is then erased to remove the excess skin of the forehead. This lowers the hairline to its required location. The wound is then sutured using multiple sections of stitches and surgical clips to ensure the incision is securely closed and the recovery time is clean. Using multiple layers of stitches and clips will help minimize scarring as you recover. As you cure, the hair starts to develop through the incision site, containing the stitches as they heal.
Consequently, the sharp decline of the forehead is non-invasive, and therefore patients will be ready to revert to most of their usual duties after a full week of rest and relaxation. Patients should expect to see a lingering bruising and swelling around the forehead, head, and even eye area.
