    An abnormally wide forehead, which constitutes the upper third of the face, can make a person’s facial features appear longer than they are or give the appearance of hair loss. Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer, with his deep anatomical knowledge in facial plastic surgery, restores the “golden ratio” in the face by lowering the hairline through forehead reduction surgery.

    Aesthetic Harmony in Facial Proportions

    What is Forehead Reduction Surgery?

    Forehead reduction or hairline advancement surgery is a procedure that shifts the scalp forward in individuals with a wide forehead. Unlike hair transplantation, this procedure allows for a reduction of 2 to 5 cm in the forehead in a single session, and results are visible immediately.

    Why Is Forehead Reduction Surgery Preferred?

    • Wide Forehead Structure: Having a genetically high hairline.
    • Softing Masculine Appearance: A very wide forehead can sometimes make facial features appear harsher and more masculine; a narrowing procedure adds a more feminine and soft expression to the face.
    • Comparison with Hair Transplantation: While hair transplantation requires waiting months for the roots to grow, a dense and natural hairline is achieved instantly with forehead reduction surgery.

    Surgical Precision with Prof. Dr. Mesut Sabri Tezer's Difference

    The forehead is an area containing vital nerve pathways and delicate vascular structures. As an ENT and Oral, Maxillofacial, and Craniofacial Surgery specialist, Dr. Tezer manages the surgical process in this region with the following principles:

    • Trichophytic Incision Technique: The incision is made just in front of the hair follicles, at a special angle that allows the hair to emerge from within the suture line. This ensures that when healing is complete, the suture scar remains hidden among the hair, becoming almost invisible.
    • Anatomical Preservation: Protecting the nerves that move the eyebrows and the blood vessels that nourish the scalp is Dr. Tezer’s area of ​​expertise at the professorial level.
    • Holistic Analysis: Dr. Tezer not only narrows the forehead but also analyzes the distance between the forehead, eyebrows, and nose to ensure overall facial harmony.

    Forehead Reduction Surgery and Recovery Process

    1. Planning: The new hairline is determined according to the individual’s facial proportions.
    2. Operation: It is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes an average of 1.5 – 2 hours.
    3. Recovery: Mild swelling may be observed in the first few days. Stitches are removed in approximately 7-10 days.
    4. Return to Social Life: Patients can usually return to their daily activities and work within a week.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Forehead Reduction Surgery

    1. Will forehead reduction surgery leave scars?

    Thanks to the special “trichophytic” incision technique used, hair grows through the scar. This allows the scar to be camouflaged naturally.

    2. Is hair transplantation or forehead reduction better?

    If you don’t have hair loss and only have a wide forehead, forehead reduction provides faster and denser results. However, if hair loss continues, it can be combined with hair transplantation.

    3. Will hair loss occur after surgery?

    A temporary “shock shedding” may occur in the first few weeks after the procedure, but since the hair follicles are protected, the hair will quickly grow back healthy.
