Modern technological advances allow us to improve our appearance, get rid of most deformities, or at least improve the way they look like. The list of possible cosmetic surgeries is almost limitless. People with a higher hairline may strive to improve their appearance by lowering it. Read all about forehead reduction surgery in Turkey.

What are forehead lift and reduction about? 

Those who feel their forehead is too high may feel like this because their hairline should be lower. Forehead reduction aims at lowering the hairline down, making the forehead look better. 

Before the forehead reduction surgery in Turkey, the surgeon will mark the incisions line, and discuss it with you. Local or general anaesthesia is usually used, but the decision is made by the surgeon. 

The incisions, called pretrichial, along the marked areas, let hair grow after the surgery. Then, the surgeon pulls the top part down to meet the lower incision. The result is lower hairline, and narrower forehead. 

When it's necessary, the surgeon may conduct forehead lift, which means raising eyebrows. The aim is to achieve the perfect proportions. 

Recovery time of forehead reduction 

You don't have to worry too much about the recovery time after the surgery. Forehead reduction doesn't cause serious side effects, and the process of healing is also short and smooth. The covering over the operated area will be removed the day after. You have to wait 3-7 days until your sutures are removed. That's the time you can start your daily activities again. Yet, avoiding strenuous tasks is necessary. 

After forehead reduction in Turkey you may see minor scars along the new hairline. It's due to the incisions made. As soon as your new hair grows, the scar will become invisible. Make sure you choose the surgeon with high skills and experience, as this is a guarantee of a low degree of scarring. 

Am I a good candidate for the forehead reduction?

It's important to bear in mind that there are some requirements, determining whether we are good or bad candidates for any surgeries. Women are generally good candidates for forehead reduction as their hair density is high. Remember though these shouldn't be women with excessive or hereditary hair loss. 

In case forehead reduction surgery in Turkey is not recommended to you, you may still consider hair transplant operations. 

The cost of forehead reduction in Turkey starts from $3,500, which is a much more affordable price comparing to other European countries. It's also crucial that paying for the surgery in Turkey, you will undergo operations with highly-skilled surgeons. Start looking for your best clinic now.
