Hairline lowering
A receding hairline can start to develop as we age. For some, this natural / hereditary process may start at the end of puberty, therefore, by the time they reach their late 30s they may already have a receding hairline. The process of hairline receding usually begins above the temples and from there, the hairline continuously moves back across the top of the head, creating a bare scalp. Receding hairline may also begin from above the temples while the hair in the middle of the forehead remains. This V-shaped hair growth in front is often called an “M-shaped forehead”. Forehead reduction surgery is not just about reducing the size of the forehead, but also redesigning and correcting the hairline based on the patient’s face shape. The most advanced hairline lowering surgery procedure: wave-line incision technique is used for inconspicuous incision appearance. This easy-to-perform surgery has the benefit of zero discomforts as the hair grows out.
