Hairline Reduction Surgery
Hairline Reduction Surgery in Morristown, New Jersey
A high or receding hairline can make the forehead appear larger, impacting facial balance and self-confidence. Hairline reduction surgery, also known as forehead reduction or scalp advancement, is a specialized procedure designed to lower the hairline, reduce forehead height, and create more harmonious facial proportions. Dr. Randall, a facial plastic surgeon in Morristown, NJ, offers expert hairline reduction surgery tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.

What is Hairline Reduction Surgery?
Hairline reduction surgery is a procedure that lowers the position of the hairline by removing a strip of skin from the upper forehead and advancing the scalp forward. This technique effectively reduces the height of the forehead and enhances facial symmetry.
Common Reasons for Hairline Reduction:
- Naturally high or broad hairline
- Forehead height disproportionate to facial features
- Desire to improve facial balance and aesthetic proportions
- Correction of hairline changes from hair loss or prior surgery
Hairline reduction is often performed as a standalone procedure but can also be combined with other treatments, such as brow lifts, to achieve optimal results.

What to Expect
Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Randall will evaluate your hairline, scalp elasticity, and aesthetic goals to determine if hairline reduction is right for you.
Procedure: Hairline reduction surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2 hours depending on the amount of adjustment required.
Recovery: Expect mild swelling and bruising in the forehead area, which usually resolves within 1-2 weeks, and tightness in the scalp, which subsides as healing progresses. While initial results are visible soon after surgery, final results become more apparent as swelling subsides and the incision fully heals.
