Balance and Alignment  

Forehead reduction is a transformative surgical option designed to address a prominent forehead or high hairline, giving you a renewed sense of confidence and harmony in your overall facial appearance. The procedure aims to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance, enhancing facial symmetry and improving the overall harmony of the facial features. Our patients often seek forehead reduction to achieve a more pleasing hairline and to alleviate concerns related to forehead size and shape. Whether to soften facial features, improve gender alignment, or enhance self-esteem, forehead reduction can profoundly impact your overall sense of well-being and self-assurance.

The Day of Your Procedure

The forehead reduction procedure, overseen by Dr. Corey S. Maas at The Maas Clinic, involves a series of meticulous steps to achieve optimal results. Dr. Maas begins by thoroughly assessing and measuring the ideal hairline position. A precisely planned incision is then made along the predetermined hairline, enabling scalp advancement to lower the hairline to the desired position. Following this, any excess forehead skin is fastidiously removed to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. Dr. Maas ensures a precise closure of the incision to minimize scarring and promote a natural-looking result. Through these detailed steps, Dr. Maas aims to deliver exceptional outcomes, providing patients with a more harmonious and balanced facial appearance while preserving the natural flow of their hair.
