Hairline Lowering Surgery to Bring the Face Into Golden Ratio Proportions
A very large forehead or a hairline that sits too high can affect your confidence, as can a hairline more than 5cm above the eyebrows. Hairline lowering surgery can help bring the face into proportion and ease concerns about looking older than your age or looking unbalanced.

- no need to take supplements
- eases concerns about a large forehead

What Causes a Large Forehead

What Can Hairline Lowering Surgery Help With?
Hairline lowering surgery can ease concerns about a large forehead and help you feel more confident, by moving the hairline down to create a new hairline that blends in (by about 1 to 2cm). This brings the face into better proportion and can give a softer, more youthful look.
Who Is Hairline Lowering Surgery Suitable For?
- people with inherited baldness
- people concerned about a large forehead
- people who have had a hair transplant but ended up with a hairline that is too wide or a result that did not go as planned
- people concerned about a receding hairline
- people who want to bring their face into Golden Ratio proportions
The Golden Ratio is a proportion associated with Leonardo Fibonacci (an Italian mathematician). A face divided into equal thirds, in the ratio 1:1:1, is often used as a reference for balanced facial proportions.
How to Prepare for Hairline Lowering Surgery
- Stop blood-thinning medicines, vitamins and supplements. If you need to take medicine regularly, tell the doctor before surgery.
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol for at least 7 days.
- Have a health check as advised by the doctor to assess whether you are fit for surgery, and send the results to S45 Clinic on your appointment date.
- During your consultation, explain clearly to the doctor what you want, so the doctor can plan suitable treatment and aim for a result you are happy with.
Aftercare Following Hairline Lowering Surgery
- Sleep on your back with your head raised on pillows for at least 1 to 2 weeks.
- If you have pain, swelling or redness, you can take pain relief medicine to ease it.
- Avoid exercise for at least 4 weeks.
- Clean the wound gently and regularly for at least 2 days.
Things to Watch for After Hairline Lowering Surgery
After surgery, you may have pain, swelling and bleeding at the wound. Clean the area gently. Any swelling gradually improves and goes down within 3 months, and the result becomes clear within 1 to 2 months.
