The usual distance between the eyebrows and the hairline of a person is usually 5 to 6.5 centimetres. And if this distance is longer than that, it is an indication of a prominent forehead.
Having a prominent forehead may look extremely unaesthetic, especially if you are a woman because a prominent forehead may not resemble a feminine appearance. That is why it is a nightmare for so many women.
Receding hairlines may be caused by a number of factors. These factors include female pattern baldness, genetic factors, or accidents. Sometimes it may be the natural look of your hair since you were born.
In the past, there was no solution for fixing a prominent forehead. But today there are effective solutions for lowering female hairlines. You can achieve this by having a scalp advancement operation, or a hair transplant for lowering the hairline.
Scalp Advancement Procedure
One of the known operations for lowering the hairline is the scalp advancement method. The doctors flex the scalp of the patient forward to lower the hairline. It is possible to flex the scalp up to one centimetre.
What determines the possibility of flexing the scalp is the flexibility of the patient’s scalp. If you have a scalp with good flexibility, then the doctors will be able to flex it further. It is possible to stretch the scalp up to two centimetres if your scalp is really flexible. You can find out about the possible results that you can get by consulting your doctor.
Just like every surgery that involves incisions, this operation leaves some scars too. But they are very thin and usually easy to conceal by using basic makeup. However, if you do not want to cover it with makeup every time you want to go out, then you can have a hair transplant for covering the scars of the scalp advancement permanently.
Hairline Lowering by Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is another way to lower your hairline. And when you compare it to the scalp advancement procedure, it is a milder procedure. Because the hair transplant involves millimetric incisions that do not leave any marks after the surgery.
How it works is easy to explain. The doctors take hair grafts from a donor area in your body. And then they open tiny channels for placing them in the target area. And then they implant the hair grafts in these channels that they have opened.
Chances of experiencing complications after a hair transplant for hairline lowering is quite rare. And almost any women or men can undergo this operation. If you want to know whether you are suitable for it or not, you can consult us. We will fill you in with the details of the procedure.
Also, when the doctors perform the hair transplant operation for lowering the hairlines, it usually takes less time than a general hair transplant. You also need less hair in the donor area because there is no need for a large number of grafts. Recovery time is shorter than the scalp advancement operation as well.
