Forehead Reduction Surgery Procedure
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. An incision is carefully placed along the natural hairline, allowing the scalp to be advanced forward. Excess forehead skin is removed, and the hairline is repositioned to a lower, more aesthetically pleasing position.
Dr. Nikhil Angre uses meticulous surgical techniques to ensure minimal visible scarring and natural-looking results.
Recovery After Forehead Reduction Surgery
Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort during the initial recovery period. Sutures are typically removed within one to two weeks, and most individuals can resume routine activities shortly thereafter.
As healing progresses, the scar becomes less noticeable and is usually well-concealed within the hairline.
