Forehead Reduction with Hair Transplantation

Forehead Reduction with Hair Transplant

At Hair of Istanbul, we treat forehead reduction as a separate category from traditional hair transplant procedures. This operation is designed for individuals who do not suffer from hair loss, but have a naturally high or wide forehead. It is performed for aesthetic purposes, not medical necessity.During the planning stage, the patient’s facial proportions, forehead size, and donor area density are carefully analyzed. If needed, grafts can even be implanted just above the forehead muscles.The hairline is lowered within safe anatomical boundaries to maintain a natural and aesthetic appearance.This procedure can dramatically improve one’s facial harmony, creating a more balanced, youthful, and proportionate look. Hair of Istanbul stands out by combining medical precision, aesthetic expertise, and individualized planning in every forehead reduction case.

Pre-Operative Evaluation for Forehead Reduction

Before the operation:

The patient’s facial structure, forehead width, and current hairline are thoroughly assessed
Only individuals without a history of hair loss are considered suitable
A new hairline is designed based on facial ratios and muscle structure
If necessary, implantation over the forehead muscle is planned
Pre-op blood tests are conducted and full guidance is provided to the patient

Every step is individually tailored to ensure a natural and aesthetic result.

Designing the New Hairline

The most critical step of forehead reduction is hairline design. The new hairline is created by considering the natural contours of the face and the underlying muscle anatomy. In certain cases, implantation over the muscle area is performed to achieve a lowered yet realistic hairline.
The ultimate goal is to enhance facial proportions while maintaining a look that is natural, soft, and harmonious.

Graft Extraction
with FUE Extraction

In the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, hair follicles are extracted one by one, along with their surrounding tissue. The micromotor used must be handled delicately to avoid damaging the skin. This procedure is performed only by experienced surgeons, and the extracted grafts are carefully sorted for optimal implantation.

Channel
Opening

Just as important as hairline design and graft extraction, channel opening is key to the final aesthetic. Since hair naturally grows at specific angles, it is crucial that channels are opened in alignment with these angles to ensure a dense, natural-looking result.
