Forehead reduction
From €5,800
Are you bothered by a high forehead or a receding hairline? With a forehead reduction, the proportions of your face are improved in a natural way.
A high forehead or a receding hairline can be hereditary or caused by hair loss. As a result, the proportions of the face can become unbalanced, and the forehead may appear noticeably large. Many people find this bothersome and feel insecure about their appearance.
With a forehead shortening, also known as a hairline lowering, the hairline is surgically moved forward, making the forehead appear smaller and the facial proportions more harmonious. The treatment provides a lasting and natural result and can be performed on both women and men. In some cases, a hairline lowering is combined with an eyebrow lift for an optimal aesthetic result.

Types of forehead shortening / hairline lowering
1. Surgical forehead shortening (hairline lowering)
In this most commonly used method, an incision is made along the natural hairline. The scalp is gently pushed forward, immediately shortening the forehead. The scar usually blends nicely into the hairline.
2. Forehead shortening (hairline lowering) in combination with an eyebrow lift
When a high forehead is accompanied by low or heavy eyebrows, the treatment can be combined with an eyebrow lift for a fresher and more open appearance.

1. Consult
2. Operation
The operation takes 1 to 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Through an incision along the hairline, a strip of skin is removed and the scalp is moved forward. The skin is then closed so that the scar is as inconspicuous as possible. The result is immediately visible: the hairline is lower and the forehead appears shorter.
3. Aftercare
After the operation, you will receive a compression bandage to support the treated area. Any drains will be removed before you go home. You will receive a prescription for pain medication; in addition, you may use paracetamol as directed. You will receive comprehensive aftercare instructions and return for a follow-up appointment with your plastic surgeon.

ⓘ Disclaimer: Because every patient is unique, the result also varies from person to person. Factors such as the original hairline, skin elasticity, and any additional treatments play a role in this. During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will provide as accurate a picture as possible based on your initial situation and wishes.
How much does a forehead shortening cost?
