Forehead Reduction in Plainfield, IL | Plastic Surgeon - Tripti Burt, MD

What is a Forehead Reduction?

Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is a permanent cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the distance between the eyebrows and hairline. The primary goal is to improve facial proportions, resulting in high patient satisfaction and minimal downtime.

Ideal Candidates for Forehead Reduction

Patients best suited for forehead reduction typically have:

• Proportionally longer forehead compared to facial features
• Non-smokers with good overall health
• Optimal scalp elasticity
• Sufficient hair density

Procedure Overview

The forehead reduction process includes a comprehensive consultation to evaluate individual goals, medical history, and develop a personalized surgical plan. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, involving precise incisions at the hairline and careful skin excision.

Scarring Considerations

Incisions are strategically designed to minimize visible scarring. However, factors like hair density and individual anatomy can influence scar visibility.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort, which significantly improves within 1-2 weeks. Sutures are typically removed after one week, with most patients returning to normal activities shortly thereafter. Full results become apparent after 4-6 weeks, with optimal outcomes visible around three months post-surgery.
