Forehead Reduction

No more broad forehead complex. A wide forehead can make your face look longer and older.

Ideal face proportions

At AB, we analyze each individual's face shape and determine the optimal ratio between the front and side of the face. Our surgical method takes even the hairline into account.

Ideal forehead line

A wide forehead disrupts the overall facial harmony and creates the illusion of a longer face. The forehead, located in the upper region of the face, is one of thae five key areas that accentuate a bright and vibrant appearance. When the forehead naturally radiates, it can be considered the epitome of a beautiful forehead line.

Step 1: Pre-surgery Diagnosis

Analyze the individual's facial shape to determine the appropriate forehead line ratio.

Step 2: Design and Incision

After designing a zigzag pattern along the hairline, a 45-degree angled incision is made.

Step 3: Scalp Dissection and Skin Resection

After adequately dissecting the scalp, assess its elasticity and remove the excess forehead skin.

Step 4: Endotine Fixation

Secure Endotines in a reverse direction within the dissected tissue to ensure more reliable fixation.

Step 5: Precise Suturing

Utilize the tension of the sutures to stitch the muscle layer and skin layer separately.

Step 6: Post-surgery

Improved appearance with a well-proportioned forehead ratio.

1. Clear Effect Through Scalp Advancement

By pulling the scalp forward and securing it, the forehead length is reduced, allowing for an immediate reduction effect to be observed.

2. Zigzag Incision Line Design

Designing the incision line in a zigzag pattern close to the hairline allows for the scar to be more naturally concealed after surgery.

AB Special Advantages

Forehead reduction, Reason for AB

1. Preserving Hair Follicles with a 45-Degree Angled Incision

By making an angled incision rather than a straight one, existing hair follicles are preserved as much as possible. This helps hair grow through the incision line after surgery, aiding in concealing the scar.

2. Wide Dissection for Minimal Scarring & Maximum Effect

By performing a wide dissection, the skin tension after suturing is reduced. This minimizes postoperative scarring and maximizes the reduction effect.

3. Endotine Fixation

Endotines are FDA-approved, safe, bioresorbable materials. At AB, we use Endotines in a reverse direction after scalp dissection to ensure stable and rapid tissue union, providing additional secure fixation.

4. Scar-Free with Dual-Layer Suturing Technique

When both the outer and inner layers are stitched tightly, poor blood circulation at the surgical site can make scars more visible. At AB, we use the tension of the sutures to stitch the muscle layer and skin layer separately, which helps to keep the scar less noticeable after surgery.
