Hairline Lowering in Prince George’s County

Your facial appearance has a profound impact on your self-esteem and overall quality of life. Like many others, you may be struggling with a forehead that appears too large or disproportionate to your face, but a plastic surgeon could help.

At Murthy Facial Plastic Surgery, our dedicated team offers solutions that restore balance to your facial features. Hairline lowering in Prince George’s County could renew your confidence by reducing the size of your forehead.

What Is Hairline Lowering?

Genetics or hair loss can cause your hairline to appear high on your head, making your forehead look disproportionately large compared to the rest of your face. Hairline lowering, also known as forehead reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure that reverses this effect. The primary goal of hairline lowering is to create more balanced facial proportions by reducing the distance between your eyebrows and your hairline.

Our double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Namita Murthy, will perform your hairline lowering surgery in Prince George’s County. She has over 10 years of experience providing natural-looking results that increase self-confidence. The results of forehead reduction are long-lasting—for as long as you have hair, you should continue to see growth in the new hairline position.

What To Expect From the Procedure

Any procedure at our practice begins with an initial consultation, during which Dr. Murthy will ask you questions about your medical history, lifestyle, aesthetic goals, and expectations for your new, lowered hairline. If you are a suitable candidate, she will conduct a physical examination to assess the condition of your scalp and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Dr. Murthy focuses on individualized, patient-centered care, ensuring that you receive your ideal results.

On the day of your procedure, we will sedate you intravenously or give you general anesthesia. Dr. Murthy will mark your scalp and then make a small incision along the hairline to remove excess skin. She will then advance the remaining scalp forward and close the incision, covering it with a surgical dressing. If your scalp cannot be repositioned due to a lack of elasticity, Dr. Murthy will offer alternative treatment options to reduce forehead height.

When there is enough skin available, she will complete the hairline lowering process.

Your hairline lowering surgery in Prince George’s County will take a few hours. As you will be drowsy after sedation, it is important to arrange for a support person to pick you up from your procedure.

What Is the Recovery Process?

Recovery from hairline lowering surgery looks different for everyone, but some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal after your procedure in Prince George’s County. Avoid strenuous activity and keep your head elevated for the first few days after your surgery. You should be able to return to normal activities within one to two weeks, and your hair will begin to grow through the incision within a month, covering the suture sites.

Close adherence to post-op guidelines is crucial for a healthy recovery. We will schedule you for a follow-up visit about two to four weeks after the surgery to monitor your progress.
