Hairline Lowering in Poland
Hairline Lowering Surgery (Forehead Reduction)
Hairline lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction or scalp advancement, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by advancing the hair-bearing scalp closer to the eyebrows. This procedure creates a more balanced facial proportion and is ideal for individuals with a naturally high hairline or those who have experienced hairline recession.
A Hairline Lowering Surgery can:
- Shorten the forehead and lower the hairline
- Improve facial harmony and balance
- Help individuals feel more confident about their appearance
- Address high hairlines due to genetics or hair loss
Our experienced surgeons tailor each procedure to suit your individual anatomy, hairline shape, and aesthetic goals. Hairline lowering can be performed as a standalone surgery or combined with other facial procedures, such as brow lift or hair grafting, to optimize results.

Who is a good candidate for Hairline Lowering?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have a high hairline or long forehead that affects facial balance
- Are in good general health and a non-smoker (or willing to quit pre- and post-op)
- Have good scalp laxity (so the scalp can be advanced)
- Have realistic expectations of the scar and outcome
- Have no significant hair loss or plan to address it
Will I have a scar after hairline lowering?
Yes, a scar is created where the hairline is advanced. However, the incision is carefully placed along the natural hairline, and hair usually grows through and in front of the scar, helping to conceal it. With proper healing and scar care, the scar generally fades well over time.
Recovery & Aftercare
Week 1:
- Keep head elevated while resting.
- Avoid strenuous activity.
- Mild swelling and bruising around the forehead and eyes are normal.
Week 2-3:
- Return to light daily activities and work if comfortable.
- Stitches typically removed or dissolvable.
- Scar care may begin as advised.
Week 4-6:
- Swelling continues to resolve.
- Scar matures and begins to fade.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure on the scar.
Long-Term:
- Final results visible within 6 months.
- Maintain healthy hair and scalp care routine.
Risks & Considerations
As with any surgery, hairline lowering carries certain risks:
- Visible scarring (usually minimal when healed well)
- Temporary or rarely permanent numbness at the scalp
- Hair thinning or shock loss near the incision (often temporary)
- Asymmetry of hairline
- Bleeding, infection, or poor wound healing (rare)
