About Forehead Reduction Treatment
At Signature Clinics, we perform forehead reduction under local anaesthesia. The procedure is very safe as long as performed by highly trained plastic surgeons. After the procedure, the patients are able to go back home immediately. Forehead reduction is generally used to balance the proportions of one’s overall facial structure. You might be a good candidate for forehead reduction surgery if you have:
- Large forehead which you wish to shorten
- Recently had a brow lift procedure
- Wish to bring your hairline forward/lower
- Low or heavy eyebrows
- Want to change the proportions of your face
It is important to remember that these criteria do not automatically make someone suitable for the treatment. In order to have good results, it is critical to have good scalp laxity. Unfortunately, having a family history of pattern balding may exclude you from the procedure.

"I got a forehead reduction surgery at Signature Clinic and I am really happy with the results, I am now 6 months post surgery and you would never know there was a scar there, my baby hairs that have grown back in have completely covered it. Extremely happy with the whole experience and would go back again for further treatment"
