Many individuals are unhappy with their large forehead, which can be distracting from other facial features. This is where a forehead shortening procedure can make a significant improvement.
Those who are bothered by their prominent forehead frequently attempt to hide it with hairstyles or hats. Perhaps they were teased when they were younger about this feature, or maybe they’ve just personally never liked it.
For men, a large forehead can take on the appearance of a receding hairline, making them look older than they actually are. The same problem can happen to women, and a large female forehead can also create an unwanted masculine appearance.
Dr. Frankel performs forehead shortening with the patient under local or deep twilight anesthesia. Before the procedure, your skin will be marked to help guide your hairline to its new position. Dr. Frankel will create an incision at the very front of the hairline, and will then remove the skin between your natural hairline and the desired hairline. Once this has been done, the hairline will be carefully brought forward to its new placement and secured. Dr. Frankel will close the incisions meticulously. The incisions will be as concealed within the hair as much as possible, with hairs that will begin growing through the incision, hiding it further. The forehead shortening procedure typically takes about two hours.
