Risk-Free What you need to know about Hairline Lowering Surgery in Cape Town
Also known as Forehead Reduction, Forehead Contouring or Scalp Advancement, Hairline Lowering Surgery allows patients to lower their frontal hairline, often lowering it by up to 2 inches. This procedure aims to reduce the distance between the hairline and the eyebrows, creating a more proportionate appearance. It is most commonly done on women with high hairlines, often the result of hair loss.
The procedure usually takes a couple of hours and is performed under general anesthetic. The new hairline is marked on the forehead, the surgeon will cut away this excess skin and the scalp is lowered to the new hairline. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize the visibility of the scar, making it virtually undetectable as it's covered by hair. It's common to combine hair lowering surgery with Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS). Contact a reputable clinic to ensure the best possible results.
What's the Recovery Time for Hairline Lowering Surgery Procedures in Cape Town?
It will take between 3 to 6 months to allow the regrowth of hair through the scar, which is important as it hides the scar. Recovery time varies from person to person and some people can get back to their normal routine even after 3 days. At least a week is usually required to get back to normal activities and you may find some swelling and bruising over your forehead in the early days. Pain is managed with painkillers and all symptoms subside after a couple of days. A numbing of the forehead is common and normal feeling usually returns after 3 to 5 days.Â
What's the Success Rate of Hairline Lowering Surgery Procedures?
A Hairline Lowering Surgery frequently yields remarkable results, with a significant number of individuals expressing contentment with their post-procedure appearance. Nevertheless, outcomes may differ based on the medical institution or medical professional involved. With the possibility of the scar being visible with certain hairstyles, Hair Transplantation could be applied to further reduce the appearance of any scarring.
Notably, while Hairline Lowering Surgery tends to yield positive results for the majority, it might vary on an individual basis. Factors such as your unique hair growth pattern, scalp flexibility, and the overall state of your hair condition could all influence your final outcome. Therefore, maintaining ongoing communication with your medical professional and adhering to their recommendations both pre and post-treatment is crucial to optimising your results.
