Forehead Reduction Surgery in Turkey
There are several ways to improve your appearance and forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery, is one of them. This type of surgery is preferred by people who naturally have a higher hairline than average or who have lower eyebrow lines.
The face can be divided into equal horizontal thirds, and achieving this look with a wide forehead can be more difficult. Forehead reduction surgery could be the solution you are looking for if you have a high hairline.
One way to improve the forehead is with a reverse brow lift, but in the opposite direction. A reverse brow lift involves lowering the eyebrows and moving the hairline forward by making an incision in the hairline and removing excess skin from the forehead.
