A soaring forehead can make your eyes appear lower or your face longer than you prefer. At FORM Face + Body, our expert team—plastic surgeons Dr. Ron Somogyi and Dr. Waqqas Jalil and facial-plastics expert Dr. Michael Brandt—offers Toronto forehead reduction surgery that can rebalance your facial proportions in just a single session.

We combine surgical artistry with Crisalix 3D imaging, allowing you to preview exact millimeter adjustments before committing. On your first visit, you will meet with your operating plastic surgeon to fully understand the technique, potential scarring, and recovery time.

Forehead Reduction Surgery: Balancing Your Facial Proportions

Dr. Brandt uses millimeter-precise planning to reduce forehead height by one to three centimeters. A lowered hairline can:

Unlike staged follicular-unit transplants, our hairline advancement surgery in Toronto moves the entire scalp forward. Using his expertise in hairline aesthetics, Dr. Brandt carefully designs an incision just within the natural hairline to complement your facial proportions and desired outcome. Once the ideal shape is determined, a precise crescent of forehead skin is removed, and the underlying scalp attachments are gently released under anesthesia. He then advances the hair-bearing scalp and anchors it with resorbable devices that maintain tension during healing. A trichophytic closure allows hairs to grow through the incision site, making the scar nearly undetectable over time. Most patients appreciate waking up to an instantly lower hairline—without transplant shedding or prolonged growth cycles.

Ideal Candidates for Forehead Shortening: Is This Right for You?

During your forehead reduction consultation at our Toronto practice, we will assess your scalp laxity, hair density, and personal goals to ensure a successful outcome. Your surgeon will also gently test your scalp mobility to estimate how much advancement is possible. You may be a good candidate if you:

After discussing risks and benefits, we will provide written instructions and a postoperative calendar that includes what activities you may resume at what time.

Planning Your Forehead Reduction With 3D Crisalix Imaging

We proudly use Crisalix 3D modeling alongside detailed scalp analysis to predict hairline shift and scar location. You will be able to review side-by-side renderings, pick your ideal hairline, and leave with a personalized plan that suits your aesthetic goals and lifestyle. You can also preview the potential effects of complementary procedures, such as brow shaping or a lateral temporal lift, on your facial balance. With this information, you can feel confident about your decision to move forward with forehead shortening in Toronto.

Recovery and Scar Care After Your Forehead Reduction Surgery

Expect two to three days of light pressure dressing and a week of social downtime following your hairline lowering surgery in Toronto. You can wash your hair gently on day three, and after suture removal at one week, you can disguise any pinkness with mineral makeup. Scar-fading gels and LED light therapy speed color changes, leaving a faint line that your hair hides. Final results stabilize at three months, though many clients notice visible improvements far sooner. We will supply a customized guide on scar massage and nutrition to promote an inconspicuous line that fades within months.
