What is Hairline Lowering Surgery?
Hairline lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by repositioning the hairline closer to the eyebrows. This procedure is particularly popular among individuals who feel that their forehead is disproportionately large or high. By bringing the hairline forward, the face appears more harmonious, and the forehead is reduced in size, contributing to an overall balanced facial structure.
Benefits of Hairline Lowering Surgery
Hairline lowering surgery offers several aesthetic and psychological benefits, including:
Enhanced Facial Proportions - By shortening the forehead, the facial features appear more balanced and symmetrical.
Permanent Results - Unlike some cosmetic treatments, hairline lowering surgery offers long-lasting results with minimal maintenance.
Natural-Looking Outcome - Dr. Cleveland’s expertise ensures that the hairline appears natural and complements the patient’s facial structure.

- Individuals with a naturally high hairline or large forehead.
- Patients who do not have a history of hair loss or are at low risk for future hair loss.
- Individuals who have good skin elasticity and are without medical conditions that could impair healing.
- Those who have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.
Hairline Lowering Procedure
Hairline lowering surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete. The procedure involves making an incision along the hairline, carefully lifting the skin, and repositioning the hair-bearing scalp closer to the forehead. Dr. Cleveland takes great care to ensure that the incision is well-hidden within the hairline, minimizing visible scarring.
After repositioning the hairline, the excess forehead skin is removed, and the incision is closed with sutures. The result is a lower, more aesthetically pleasing hairline that enhances the patient’s overall facial harmony.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from hairline lowering surgery typically involves one to two weeks of downtime before returning to light activities, however, more strenuous exercise should be avoided for three to four weeks. Patients recovering from hairline lowering surgery should expect some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. Dr. Cleveland provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
