What is hairline lowering?
Hairline lowering, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is a procedure that reduces the height of the forehead by moving the hairline down. This can create a more feminine appearance for those seeking gender confirmation.
Who is a good candidate for hairline lowering?
Ideal candidates are individuals on a gender journey who wish to feminize their facial features by lowering a high or receding hairline. Candidates should be in good health and have sufficient scalp elasticity.
How does hairline lowering help in gender confirmation?
Hairline lowering can help create a more traditionally feminine appearance by reducing the size of the forehead and moving the hairline to a more aesthetically pleasing position.
What is the difference between hairline lowering and a hair transplant?
Hairline lowering is a surgical procedure that physically moves the hairline down, while a hair transplant involves transplanting hair follicles to create a new hairline. Hairline lowering provides immediate results, whereas hair transplants take time to show full results.
What is the recovery process like after hairline lowering?
Recovery typically involves some swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the forehead. Most patients can return to light activities within a week, with full recovery in a few weeks. Scarring is usually minimal and hidden within the hairline.
How soon will I see the results after hairline lowering?
Results are visible immediately after surgery, though final results will be more apparent as swelling subsides over the following weeks.
Are the results of hairline lowering permanent?
Yes, the results of hairline lowering are permanent, providing a lifelong enhancement to the forehead and hairline area.
What are the risks associated with hairline lowering?
Risks include infection, scarring, changes in scalp sensation, and potential hair loss at the incision site. Dr. Kim takes all necessary precautions to minimize these risks.
Can hairline lowering be combined with other facial feminization procedures?
Yes, hairline lowering can be combined with other facial feminization procedures such as brow lift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation to achieve a more comprehensive transformation.
Will there be visible scars after hairline lowering?
The incision is typically made along the new hairline, resulting in a scar that is well-hidden by the hair. Scarring usually fades over time.
How does New Look New Life customize hairline lowering for each patient’s gender goals?
We work closely with each patient to understand their facial feminization goals and tailors the hairline lowering procedure to achieve a natural, harmonious appearance that aligns with their gender identity.
How do I prepare for a hairline lowering surgery?
Preparation involves a consultation with Dr. Kim, where she will evaluate your scalp elasticity, discuss your goals, and provide pre-surgical instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
