PLASTIC SURGERY IN KOREA
Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a delicate procedure that involves making an incision along the hairline, pulling the scalp forward, and securing it to reduce the height of the forehead. This surgical adjustment helps align a broad forehead with the rest of the facial proportions while preserving hair follicles to minimize scarring.
One of the advanced techniques in this surgery involves the angled incision, which minimizes damage to hair follicles. This approach ensures that surgical traces are discreet, with vellus hair (fine, short hair) strategically retained to create a natural-looking hairline.
Endotine is an FDA and KFDA-approved tissue fixation material used during the procedure. This eco-friendly material has five protrusions that evenly pull and securely fix skin tissues. Its use provides stability to various facial areas, including the forehead, eyebrows, and even sagging eyelids, contributing to long-lasting results.
Forehead reduction surgery is suitable for various individuals who may benefit from a lower hairline or more symmetrical forehead:
The process begins with a thorough consultation. During this time, the surgeon will discuss your goals, assess your facial features, and design a customized plan for incision placement and the desired hairline.
Before the surgery, your surgeon will finalize the surgical plan, ensuring that the reduction is well-suited to your facial proportions and aesthetic goals.
The procedure is performed under IV sleeping sedation, ensuring you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the surgery.
Incisions are made along the new planned hairline, and excess forehead skin and underlying tissue are carefully removed. Care is taken to avoid damage to nerves and blood vessels. The incisions are then closed with stitches or staples, and a dressing is applied to protect the area. Endotine is strategically placed in the forehead to provide stable and secure fixation by gently pulling the forehead tissue towards it.
Post-surgery, you will receive detailed instructions on wound care, pain management, and activity restrictions. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing process, and stitches are typically removed 14 days after the operation. You’ll need to visit the clinic for dressing changes during this period.
Visible results can be expected around six months post-operation, though it may take longer for the scar to fully heal and fade.
As with any surgical procedure, forehead reduction carries some risks, including scarring, infection, and nerve damage. It's important to discuss these potential risks with your surgeon during the consultation to fully understand the procedure and set realistic expectations.
Forehead reduction surgery offers a transformative solution for those seeking to enhance their facial proportions by lowering their hairline. With advances in surgical techniques and materials like Endotine, the procedure is now more effective and less invasive than ever before. Whether you're looking to correct a high hairline due to genetics or for gender-affirming purposes, this surgery can help you achieve the balanced, harmonious look you desire.
