Hairline Lowering Surgery in New York, NY | Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS

Understanding Forehead Reduction Surgery

Forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline lowering, is a specialized procedure designed to reduce the vertical height of the forehead and create more balanced facial proportions. Dr. Jeffrey Epstein offers this transformative surgical technique for patients seeking to address naturally high hairlines or receding hairlines.

Key Benefits of Forehead Reduction

• Reduces forehead height by 2-5 centimeters
• Creates more proportionate facial aesthetics
• Provides permanent surgical solution
• Minimally invasive with strategic incision placement

Surgical Procedure Overview

During forehead reduction surgery, Dr. Epstein carefully removes excess forehead skin and advances the scalp forward. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes less than two hours. Specialized Endotine® clips are used to secure the scalp, ensuring optimal positioning and healing.

Ideal Candidates

Optimal candidates for forehead reduction surgery include individuals with:

• Genetically high hairline
• Stable frontal hairline
• Sufficient scalp flexibility
• Good overall health

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to normal activities within one week of surgery. Initial healing occurs rapidly, with sutures typically removed around seven days post-procedure. Patients are often presentable within 1-2 days by styling hair forward over the surgical site.

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, forehead reduction surgery carries potential risks including temporary scalp numbness, minor bleeding, and potential scarring. Working with an experienced, board-certified surgeon like Dr. Epstein minimizes these risks.

Procedure Cost

Forehead reduction surgery costs typically range between $7,500 to $10,000. Precise pricing depends on individual surgical requirements and will be discussed during comprehensive consultation.
