Forehead Reduction
Balancing Facial Proportions Through Hairline Advancement
Forehead Reduction is designed to shorten the vertical height of the forehead by advancing the hairline into a more balanced and proportionate position.
For some patients, a naturally high hairline or elongated forehead can create facial imbalance and affect overall facial harmony. Forehead reduction surgery is designed to improve upper facial proportions while maintaining a natural hairline appearance.
At You Are Beautiful, forehead reduction is approached with precision and careful attention to facial balance, hairline design, and long-term natural-looking results.
A Personalized Surgical Approach
Every patient’s facial structure, hairline pattern, and anatomy are unique.
During your consultation, Dr. Jae Kim evaluates:
- Forehead height and proportions
- Hairline position and density
- Facial balance
- Skin elasticity and scalp mobility
- Overall upper facial harmony
This allows for a customized surgical plan designed to create more balanced facial proportions while preserving a natural appearance.
The goal is not simply lowering the hairline—but creating harmony between the forehead, eyes, and overall facial structure.
What Forehead Reduction Can Address
- High or elongated forehead appearance
- High hairline position
