The one stage hairline lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction surgery, can lower the hairline by about 1 inch. The incision is made right at the hairline and is virtually undetectable when it heals. Hairs grow back through the incision further helping camouflage the incision.

This procedure works well for people with a relatively dense hairline. If your hairline is thinning, this procedure might still be a good option in conjunction with hair grafting. I work with a hair transplant specialist, so If you fall into this group, a join procedure can be performed by both of us.

If your hairline needs to be lowered significantly more than an inch and a half or two, you might need to have scalp expansion performed to help stretch the scalp out before the actual hairline lowering surgery is performed. I will talk to you about all your options, and we will decide which group you fall into.

Yes, having an endoscopic brow lift will raise your hairline. In some people it will only be raised by a few millimeters, but in others it might be raised by a centimeter or two. For people with a low hairline it is not usually a big deal, but if your hairline is already high, it could be disastrous to raise it any more.

If I feel a brow lift is warranted in a patient with a high hairline the brow lifting technique I would use is a trichaphitic hairline incision, which will actually LOWER your hairline while raising your brows. The incision tends to heal very well and should not be seen or be obvious once healed.

Sometimes people assume they need a brow lift, when in reality they need volume restoration to their brows and forehead. Those people would benefit most from fat injections, which are less traumatic and produce a very natural result.
