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.

Many patients ask, “How much does forehead reduction cost in the UK?” The price depends on factors such as surgical complexity and individual anatomy. Right now, it has a fixed price of £5,000.

Forehead Reduction In Detail

Benefits of Forehead Reduction
  • Enhances facial symmetry – Achieves better balance between facial features.
  • Permanent and natural-looking results – No need for repeated treatments.
  • Minimal scarring – Incisions are placed along the natural hairline for discreet healing.
  • Boosts confidence – Many patients feel more confident in their appearance.
  • Customisable procedure – Can be combined with hair transplants for optimal density.
  • Performed under local or general anaesthesia – Depending on the patient’s preference.
  • Recovery time of 1-2 weeks – Most swelling and bruising subside within 7-10 days.
  • Incision hidden within the hairline – Scarring is minimal and fades over time.
  • Suitable for both men and women – Particularly popular among those seeking a more proportionate facial structure.
  • Can be combined with brow lift or hair transplantation for enhanced results.
  • Consultation – Your surgeon assesses your forehead height, hairline position, and skin elasticity.
  • Surgical Planning – The new hairline is marked and measured for a natural, proportionate result.
  • Incision & Tissue Removal – An incision is made along the hairline, and excess forehead skin is carefully removed.
  • Hairline Advancement – The hair-bearing scalp is repositioned to create a lower, natural-looking hairline.
  • Closure & Recovery – The incision is closed with fine sutures, and healing begins within a few days.

"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"

Forehead Reduction FAQ

At Signature Clinic, most of our procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia. This allows our procedures to be safer and speed up the recovery time.
Those who wish to enhance their face proportions and have a big forehead or high hairline are the best prospects. In addition to having a steady hairline and strong scalp elasticity, candidates should be in generally good health.
Mild soreness, bruising, and swelling are common during recovery, and these side effects normally go away in a week or two. After a week, the majority of patients can resume their regular activities.
Along the hairline, there will be a tiny scar, although it usually goes away with time and is frequently covered by hair. In order to achieve a natural appearance, surgeons employ procedures to reduce scarring.
The hairline is lowered during forehead reduction surgery, but the hair density along the hairline is maintained. If there is thinning, hair transplants could be suggested in certain situations.
