Forehead Contouring in Thailand

Also known as Forehead Reduction, Forehead Contouring or Scalp Advancement, Hairline Lowering Surgery allows patients to lower their frontal hairline and is most common among women with high hairlines, often the result of hair loss.

The procedure usually takes a couple of hours and is performed under general anesthetic as an outpatient. The new hairline is marked on the forehead, the surgeon will cut away this excess skin and the scalp is lowered to the new hairline. Incisions are strategically placed so as to minimze the visibility of the scar, making it virtually undetectable as it's covered by hair. It's common to combine hair lowering surgery with Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).

Additional factors to consider:

1. The success rate is very high for hairline lowering procedures and the side effects are minimal, but it's worth considering that the scar may be visible with certain hair styles. Hair Transplantation could be applied to further reduce the appearance of a scar.

2. Hair thinning from Shock Loss can occur immediately after the operation, but this is temporary.

3. The alternative to surgery, is a hair transplant. To achieve the same results without surgery, it could take up to 2 years to get the same length and density of hair compared to the instant results of the hairline lowering procedure.
