Who is a Good Candidate for Hairline Lowering/Forehead Reduction?

This procedure is also suitable for men, particularly those without active hair loss or those who have previously undergone hair transplants and want to refine their hairline further.

What Happens During Hairline Lowering/Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Hairline lowering begins with Dr. Bared marking your new hairline to ensure a natural result. An incision is made along your existing hairline, preserving hair follicles at the edge to allow for natural regrowth through the eventual scar. The scalp is gently separated from the underlying tissues, creating mobility to advance the hairline. Dr. Bared evaluates your scalp’s elasticity to determine how far it can be safely repositioned, typically achieving a 1-2 centimeters reduction.
Once the hairline is advanced, Dr. Bared secures it using Endotine® clips, which dissolve naturally within six months. Excess forehead skin is removed, and the incision is closed with layered plastic surgery techniques, minimizing scarring and promoting optimal healing. This approach ensures a seamless, aesthetically pleasing outcome.
What is the Recovery Process Like?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort after hairline lowering/forehead reduction in Miami. After the procedure, your head will be wrapped to reduce swelling and protect the incision site. This wrap is typically removed on the second day, and you can gently brush your hair forward to cover the sutures. Mild swelling or discomfort is normal and can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities, including work, within a week.
Dr. Bared customizes your recovery plan to ensure safe and effective healing. The sutures are usually removed about a week after surgery, and if you’re traveling, a local doctor can assist with this step. To further refine your results, you may opt for hair grafting three months post-surgery. Following Dr. Bared’s aftercare instructions will ensure a smooth recovery.
Tips to Optimize Recovery After Hairline Lowering/Forehead Reduction in Miami:
- Follow Dr. Bared’s instructions for cleaning and caring for the incision site.
- Keep your head elevated while sleeping to minimize swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least one week.
- Brush your hair forward gently to protect the sutures and surgical area.
- Take all prescribed medications as directed to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
- Refrain from makeup or skincare products near the incision until approved by Dr. Bared.
- Protect the incision area from direct sunlight by wearing a hat or using sunscreen.
- Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and address any concerns.
- Contact Dr. Bared immediately if you notice unusual redness, swelling, or discomfort.
Hairline Lowering/Forehead Reduction FAQs
Yes, hairline lowering offers a permanent reduction in forehead size by advancing the hairline. As long as your hairline remains stable and is unaffected by conditions such as male or female pattern hair loss, the results will last a lifetime.
The procedure typically takes less than two hours to complete, which includes making the incision, advancing the hairline, securing it with Endotine® clips, and closing the incision using advanced layered closure techniques.
Dr. Bared places the incision along your natural hairline and preserves the hair follicles, allowing hair to grow through the scar. This approach minimizes visibility, and the incision typically becomes virtually undetectable after healing. If desired, hair grafting can be performed three months post-surgery to enhance density and further conceal the scar.
Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities, including work, within a week of surgery. Exercise and other vigorous activities can be resumed after two weeks, depending on how well you’re healing. Dr. Bared will provide personalized advice based on your progress.
