Hairline lowering is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the height of the forehead by advancing the scalp forward. This technique shortens the distance between the eyebrows and the hairline, creating a more balanced facial proportion. Often performed in a single-stage operation, hairline lowering can be life-changing for women who feel self-conscious about a naturally high hairline or have experienced hair recession due to genetics.
The procedure is typically completed under general anesthesia and involves a meticulously placed incision along the hairline. Dr. Grover uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring and preserve natural hair growth patterns.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia at our state-of-the-art surgical facility in Newport Beach. Dr. Grover begins by making a discreet incision along the natural hairline. The forehead skin is carefully lifted, and the scalp is advanced to lower the hairline. Excess skin is removed, and the incision is meticulously closed to allow for optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Surgery typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours and is done on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.
Patients can expect some swelling and bruising in the forehead and scalp area during the first week of recovery. Discomfort is usually minimal and well-controlled with prescribed medication. Most women feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous work within 7-10 days.
Initial healing includes a gradual reduction in swelling and improved comfort, with visible improvements seen immediately. Over the following months, the scar continues to fade and becomes increasingly hidden within the hairline. Most scars mature over 6 to 12 months and can be further improved with topical treatments or laser therapy if needed.
Final results reveal a more proportionate and attractive facial profile, often accompanied by renewed confidence and self-image.
