About

What is forehead reduction surgery?

Forehead reduction and forehead lift at once

Hairline Correction to Restore Overall Facial Balance

If the forehead is wide, it can disrupt the overall facial balance and give an unharmonious impression.
Forehead reduction surgery involves incising the hairline scalp at a 45-degree angle to preserve hair follicles, removing a portion,
and moving it towards the forehead to correct the hairline within a safe range.

Forehead Reduction Surgery: The Difference

Image illustrating Forehead Reduction and Forehead Lift together

Forehead reduction and forehead lift
can be performed simultaneously.

Reduce a wide and long forehead while simultaneously improving periorbital wrinkles through the effect of a brow lift.

45-Degree Incision Diagram Preserving Hair Follicles

45-degree incision preserving hair follicles

By considering the direction of hair growth and making an oblique incision, damage to hair follicles and hair can be minimized.

Diagram of Fixation Method Not Using Endotine

Endotine Use NO

Permanent effects can be achieved with sutures alone, without the use of Endotine or fixation screws. By not using fixation devices, foreign body sensation, palpability, and infection can be reduced.
