Forehead Reduction

Yes, there is a surgery specifically designed to fix or lower your hairline, known as hairline lowering surgery or forehead reduction surgery.
This procedure is aimed at reducing the height of the forehead by moving the hairline forward, creating a more balanced and proportionate facial appearance. It's often chosen by individuals who feel their forehead is too high or their hairline is receding.
The surgery is typically done under local anesthesia and involves making an incision along the hairline, removing a small amount of skin from the forehead, and then repositioning the hairline lower on the forehead. This results in a more natural and aesthetically pleasing hairline.
For those considering this surgery, a consultation with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Kopelman can help determine if it's the right option based on individual needs and goals.

Hairline lowering surgery with Dr. Kopelman is generally well-tolerated, with little to no pain during the procedure due to local anesthesia and sedation.
Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort, tenderness, or tightness, which typically subsides within a few days to a week and can be managed with prescribed medications.
Recovery is usually smooth, allowing most patients to resume normal activities within a week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for a bit longer. Overall, the procedure is not considered highly painful, especially with Dr. Kopelman's expert care and proper post-operative management.

Forehead surgery carries some risks, but it is generally safe when done by an experienced surgeon. Common risks include scarring along the hairline, which usually fades and can be concealed by hair.
There's a small risk of infection, temporary numbness around the forehead, and minor bleeding or swelling, which typically resolve on their own.
Rarely, hairline irregularities or hair loss near the incision site may occur. Overall, with proper care and a skilled surgeon like Dr. Kopelman, the procedure is considered low-risk, and careful planning helps ensure a safe and successful outcome.

Yes, forehead reduction or hairline lowering surgery does leave a scar, as it involves making an incision along the hairline.
However, a skilled surgeon like Dr. Kopelman will carefully place the incision to follow the natural contours of your hairline, making the scar less noticeable. Over time, the scar typically fades and can often be concealed by hair.
Additionally, proper post-operative care can help minimize the visibility of the scar and promote better healing.
