A broad or high forehead can sometimes affect how balanced and harmonious your facial features appear. For many people, this can create self-consciousness or limit hairstyle options, even when the rest of their features are well proportioned. Modern cosmetic surgery now offers a safe, effective solution to refine the facial frame and achieve a naturally balanced look through forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering.
At Tress Clinic in Turkey, we specialize in delivering natural, long-lasting results that enhance both appearance and confidence. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to lower the hairline in a way that complements your individual facial structure. Whether you’re seeking a softer, more feminine contour or a stronger, more defined hairline, forehead reduction can provide a subtle yet transformative improvement that feels authentic to you.
What Is Forehead Reduction?
A high or broad forehead can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of facial features, making people feel self-conscious or limiting hairstyle choices. Forehead Reduction, also known as Hairline Lowering Surgery, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to shorten the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline to a lower, more proportional position.
At Tress Clinic in Turkey, this transformative surgery is performed by experienced surgeons using advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results. The procedure not only refines the “frame” of your face but also enhances overall facial harmony. Subtle yet powerful, forehead reduction can redefine your appearance while restoring confidence in both personal and professional life.
Why Choose Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Patients choose forehead reduction for both aesthetic and emotional reasons. The benefits extend beyond appearance, improving the way you feel and present yourself to the world:
- Facial Harmony & Balance: A smaller forehead aligns more naturally with the eyes, nose, and lips, creating a well-proportioned look.
- Boosted Self-Confidence: Many patients report feeling more attractive, empowered, and comfortable in social and professional settings.
- Hairstyle Freedom: With a lower hairline, new styling possibilities open up, making it easier to achieve flattering, versatile looks.
- Discreet & Natural Results: Incisions are carefully hidden along the natural hairline, and scars fade gradually over time, ensuring seamless results.
At Tress Clinic, every surgery is personalized. Our medical experts design hairlines that reflect your gender, facial structure, and cultural background, ensuring outcomes that look authentic and enhance your natural beauty.
How the Procedure Works (Step by Step)
At Tress Clinic, forehead reduction surgery is performed with precision and care to ensure comfort, safety, and natural-looking results. The procedure typically takes one to three hours and follows these carefully structured steps:
- General Anesthesia: Patients are placed under anesthesia to ensure a completely painless and comfortable experience throughout the surgery.
- Precise Incision: A fine incision is made along the natural hairline, allowing for discreet healing and minimal visibility once recovery is complete.
- Skin Removal: A thin strip of forehead skin is carefully removed to reduce the vertical height of the forehead.
- Scalp Advancement: The scalp is gently repositioned downward, effectively lowering the hairline to the desired level.
- Sutures & Closure: The incision is closed using fine sutures designed to heal naturally, leaving scars that fade over time and are hidden within the hairline.
This meticulous approach ensures both immediate improvement in facial proportions and long-term, seamless results.
Ideal Candidates for Forehead Reduction
Forehead reduction is suitable for both men and women who wish to create better facial balance by lowering their hairline. The ideal candidates generally include:
- Individuals with naturally high foreheads or receding hairlines who want to achieve a more proportionate facial appearance.
- Patients in good overall health with sufficient scalp flexibility (laxity), which allows the scalp to be advanced safely.
- Men and women seeking customized hairline designs that match their facial features and personal goals.
- Women often prefer softer, rounded hairlines for a feminine contour.
- Men typically seek stronger, more defined hairlines to enhance masculine features.
At Tress Clinic, every treatment plan is fully personalized. Our specialists carefully consider face shape, gender, and ethnic background to design a hairline that looks natural, complements your identity, and delivers long-lasting confidence.
Recovery Timeline & Aftercare
Healing after forehead reduction surgery is generally smooth, but it’s important to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions for the best results:
- Week 1: Swelling and bruising are most noticeable during the first few days but gradually subside as healing begins.
- Weeks 2–4: Most patients feel comfortable resuming daily routines, with visible improvements already noticeable.
- Months: Scars continue to fade, and hair grows naturally into the new hairline, blending seamlessly with your facial structure.
During recovery, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, protect the incision area from sun exposure, and follow all post-operative care guidelines provided by the medical team. At Tress Clinic, our doctors and support staff remain available to monitor your progress and provide ongoing guidance every step of the way.
Risks & Safety Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, forehead reduction carries certain risks, though complications are rare when performed by experienced surgeons. Possible issues may include:
- Minor infection
- Temporary numbness around the incision site
- Visible scarring, which typically fades over time
Choosing the right surgical team is essential to minimizing risks and ensuring excellent outcomes. At Tress Clinic, patient safety is our highest priority. We emphasize full transparency, thorough consultations, and a patient-first philosophy ensuring that every step of your journey is both safe and reassuring.
Forehead Reduction vs. Hair Transplantation
While both procedures aim to lower the hairline, their approaches differ:
- Forehead Reduction Surgery: Involves surgically repositioning the scalp downward, providing instant and permanent results.
- Hair Transplantation: Uses follicle grafting to gradually lower the hairline, with results developing over several months.
In some cases, patients may benefit from a combined approach. For example, forehead reduction can reposition the hairline, while hair transplantation can enhance density and refine the final look. During your consultation at Tress Clinic, our specialists will advise on the best treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

One of the reasons international patients choose Turkey for forehead reduction is the balance of affordability and quality.
