Redefine your profile with a lower, more balanced hairline. At Inspire Aesthetics, we offer hairline lowering surgery—also known as forehead reduction—using the Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration Method by Dr. J. Epstein. This advanced technique is ideal for individuals with a high or receding hairline seeking a more harmonious and youthful facial appearance.
A disproportionately high hairline or prominent forehead can affect overall facial balance and self-confidence. Many patients express frustration over the appearance of early aging or asymmetry and often resort to hairstyles or makeup for camouflage. Hairline lowering surgery addresses these concerns directly by shortening the forehead height and reshaping the hairline for better facial proportion and aesthetic symmetry.
Hairline lowering is a highly personalized surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation. Your surgeon will carefully remove a narrow strip of forehead skin, then advance the hair-bearing scalp to lower the hairline. Incisions are artistically placed within the new hairline for discreet healing and natural-looking results.
This procedure may be combined with follicular grafting, if needed, to enhance density at the new hairline. The Foundation method ensures a refined, age-appropriate outcome tailored to your features and goals.
Hairline lowering may be right for you if you have a naturally high hairline or have experienced frontal hairline recession. Candidates should be in good health, have adequate scalp laxity to allow for hairline advancement, and realistic expectations for recovery and outcomes. Individuals seeking more traditionally feminine or masculine hairlines, or correcting post-surgical hairline changes, are also excellent candidates.
