Harmony Facial Plastic Surgery In Nashville
Do you wish your forehead were shorter? Do your facial features seem out of balance because of the location of your hairline? Are you using your hair to cover the height of your forehead? In Nashville forehead reduction surgery (also known as hairline lowering or scalp advancement) can give you the facial proportions you have always wanted.
Nashville Forehead Reduction Surgery
Forehead Reduction Surgery is a relatively short surgical procedure that can reduce the height of your hairline. An incision is made along the existing hairline, and a small section of the skin in the forehead is removed.
The scalp and the attached hair are then moved forward, which places your hairline lower and closer to your eyebrows. Forehead Reduction Surgery helps to balance the features of your face, resulting in a more attractive appearance. Dr. Kate O’Connor provides hairline lowering in Nashville at her boutique plastic surgery practice, Harmony Facial Plastic Surgery.

Forehead Reduction Surgery can be the solution for achieving a better balance with your facial features. A denser hairline is one of the benefits, providing the appearance of a fuller head of hair. The process may even bring a more youthful look to your face because your hair will not look like it is receding. In addition, because of the procedure, wrinkles tend to be smoothed out.
Dr. O’Connor in Nashville
Good candidates for Forehead Reduction Surgery are those who do not have a history of major hair loss. It is also recommended for those who want a more feminine appearance, including transgender patients transitioning from male to female. Patients with low or heavy brow lines can also benefit. You need to have sufficient scalp laxity since the forehead skin will be stretched. Dr. O’Connor strives to offer the best Forehead Reduction Surgery Nashville has to offer and her approach to this procedure will show outstanding results in balancing your facial proportions.
Unique Skills. Compassionate Care.
Dr. O’Connor will first meet with you to assess your scalp laxity and your general health. She will outline the steps in the procedure so you will know what to expect. If your scalp does not have sufficient laxity to be advanced, Dr. O’Connor may recommend tissue expanders before the actual forehead reduction surgery.
She will administer either local, general or twilight anesthesia. She will carefully design and mark the location for the altered hairline. She then will make an incision, and the skin above the marked hairline is removed. The scalp is then advanced to the new hairline. The site of the incision is sutured with multiple layers of stitches. Forehead Reduction Surgery usually takes only a few hours. Additional procedures such as a brow lift can be performed at the same time.
Recovery in Nashville
You will need to come back to the office for suture removal and post-operative checkups. You will have some swelling and bruising. You will need to keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. A week after forehead reduction surgery, you can resume your usual activities.
The scar from the surgery may take six months to heal completely. Your hair will generally cover the scar, but you can also use headbands or scarves to hide the incision. With time, the forehead reduction surgery incision fades until it is no longer visible or noticeable. Dr. O’Connor follows a holistic, integrative approach to recovery, which will substantially improve your recovery. She uses therapies such as massage, supplements, and acupuncture to speed up the healing process. For forehead reduction, Kate O’Connor, MD, brings extensive training to create the best cosmetic appearance possible.
