It is a procedure aimed at reducing the vertical dimension of the forehead, which is sometimes disproportionate to the other facial thirds. An incision is made along the entire hairline, removing a section of the forehead skin and repositioning the tissues to decrease its length. On average, it is possible to reduce approximately 2 cm, and sometimes up to 3 centimeters. The surgical scar is concealed along the hairline, and it can be treated to become almost unnoticeable over time.
This is a highly requested surgery aimed at harmonizing the facial thirds, particularly in patients with a wide forehead. The recovery is quick, and sutures can be removed 8 days after the surgery.
