The hairline is a key feature of the face that sets a natural and harmonious balance between the upper and lower thirds of the face. A high forehead or hairline can cause imbalance and negatively impact facial proportions.강남헤어라인
Fortunately, this problem is easily corrected by surgically lowering the hairline or forehead with a procedure called hairline correction surgery. The goal of this technique is to achieve a more feminine and balanced appearance by creating an ideal height for the frontal hairline. This can be accomplished in patients who are self-conscious about a high or unnatural forehead. The procedure can be combined with other procedures such as a brow lift and nose rhinoplasty to improve overall facial proportions.
Achieving a more feminine hairline can be an important aspect of the facial feminization process for transgender and transitioning women. It can also be performed as a standalone procedure for patients with a high forehead or who are unhappy with the results of other procedures such as a brow lift.
To perform the hairline correction procedure, the surgeon first marks the location of the new forehead line to be achieved. Then, the skin section above this mark is removed using a scalpel. The surgeon then sutures the forehead together and surgically lowers the new hairline to this marked position.무모증모발이식
The patient is placed under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation for the procedure. To ensure the best results and safety, it is important to make sure that the patient has adequate scalp laxity to facilitate the procedure. This can be determined in a preoperative assessment by an experienced cosmetic surgeon by carefully evaluating the direction of the hairs, the frontotemporal points and recessions, as well as the presence of a nipple scar or a previous hair transplant.
Patients who have very little scalp laxity or who wish to lower their hairline more than 2 cm often require a 2-stage procedure. In the first stage, a temporary implantable device known as a tissue expander is placed beneath the hair-bearing areas of the scalp. Over the course of 4-6 weeks, the expander is inflated with a sterile saline solution to stretch the forehead skin and provide enough space to accommodate the surgically lowered hairline.
After a few months of recovery, the new hairline and repositioned forehead should be fully healed. The patient can then resume their normal daily activities without any concerns about their forehead or hairline.

Whether you are considering a male or female facelift, it’s essential to find an experienced plastic surgeon who has the proper training and credentials. Be sure to ask about the surgeon’s experience performing the procedure and to see before and after photos of previous patients. A skilled surgeon can minimize the visibility of the scar by incorporating S- or V-shaped curves into the incisions. They can also be designed so that hairs will grow through and in front of them, further reducing their visibility.
