Hairline Lowering / Forehead Reduction - Future Aesthetic Procedure
Introduction
Forehead proportions are one of those areas that, when changed slightly, have the ability to transform one’s appearance in dramatic ways. A larger forehead, by itself, does not appear to be unattractive, but it can affect the overall harmony of one’s facial proportions.
To me, this procedure is not about attempting to achieve some unrealistic ideal of youthfulness and beauty. Rather, it is about balance - balance in relation to the face, and most importantly, its harmony.
As it stands, my eyebrows are at 4.5 fingers of distance from my hairline. This is not an outrageous measurement, but it is on the higher side.
I think making my hairline at around 1-1.5 fingers below my eyebrows would create better, more harmonious proportions.
My current approximate distance from the eyebrows to the hairline: Around 4.5 fingers.
Possible desired outcome for facial proportions: Around 3-3.5 fingers.
I think making my forehead just slightly smaller would help add to the overall attractiveness and proportion of my face without making me appear unnaturally youthful.
Hair Transplant Hairline Lowering
The most effective procedure for me, in theory, in the future, would be the hairline lowering procedure, which, as the title suggests, involves the lowering of one’s hairline.
The difference with this particular procedure is that it does not really have anything to do with traditional hair transplants and their purposes.
Whereas a traditional hair transplant is typically used for baldness and receding hairlines, this procedure is all about subtly reshaping the face and improving one’s facial proportions and attractiveness.
The way it is performed is similar to a traditional hair transplant, in that it involves relocating some of one’s existing hairs to the frontal hairline. However, the
emphasis is placed on the design and the natural appearance of the hairline, rather than saving the appearance of one’s baldness and hair loss.
The surgeon is supposed to use their artistic skills to create a hairline in the best, most natural position for one’s face - one that takes into account the existing eyebrows, the shape of the face, the width of the temples, and so on. This hairline should not be perfectly straight or follow one specific pattern, since a naturally occurring hairline rarely ever follows a single pattern - there are always some hairs that stick out at different angles.
Avoiding an Unnatural Appearance
One of the biggest dangers that hairline lowering has in its appearance is that of becoming unnatural and unattractive. Simply put, there is such thing as too low of a hairline that makes one appear too youthful.
The ideal procedure would be making one look slightly more mature, and more attractive, rather than making them look like a teenager.
My ideal hairline would be something that accentuates the eyes, without making the rest of them appear too big or disproportionate. It should be a subtle change, around 1-1.5 fingers below my eyebrows.
It should be low enough to appear youthful, but not so low that I appear artificially younger. Making my forehead slightly smaller would also help with my current proportions, since they are currently slightly off. The point of this procedure is subtle changes that affect the overall attractiveness.
Estimated Cosmetic Results
I do not think the results of such a procedure need to be very drastic in order to look realistic and attractive.
Something around 1-1.5 fingers of change would, in my opinion, be the ideal amount of change. Changing the proportions of the face, however subtly, can have a noticeable effect on the appearance, since the forehead is one of the most notable parts of one’s face.
The desired end result for me, then, would be something along the lines of:
A modestly lower frontal hairline.
More attractive facial proportions.
Cost Estimation
The costs for such a procedure would vary significantly depending on the country and the clinic one chooses, as well as the specific surgeon.
In Turkey, it is possible to get such a procedure done for roughly 2000-5000 USD.
In Australia, the United States and other countries it can easily cost up to 8000-20000+ USD, depending on the surgeon, the technique and many other factors.
Hairline lowering procedures typically involve much fewer grafts than traditional hair transplants and, therefore, typically cost significantly less than a full transplant.
Timing / When Would Be The Right Time To Do It
I think this kind of procedure is something that one would consider later in life, rather than earlier. Once one reaches their late teens or early adulthood, it becomes much easier to estimate how one’s face will change with time.
At around 20, one can start to get an idea of how their hairline will change with time and how it will affect the overall facial proportions. It becomes much easier to estimate the most ideal position for one’s hairline.
I think trying to do such a procedure at too young of an age can lead to disappointing results due to rapid facial changes later in life. A good hairline should not only look good at one age, it should look good throughout one’s life.
