A high hairline can occur due to genetic factors, ageing, or previous hair loss. While some individuals are born with a naturally high hairline, others may notice their hair receding over time due to hormonal changes, stress, or certain medical conditions.
A high hairline can impact self-esteem, often making the forehead seem disproportionately large in relation to the rest of the face. Many feel that the imbalance detracts from their facial harmony, leading to insecurities and a desire for a more proportionate appearance. Hairline lowering surgery offers a long-term effective solution for those seeking to improve facial balance and confidence.
Hairline lowering surgery is a precise, highly individualised procedure that typically takes place under general anaesthesia. Before the surgery, Mr Wilson carefully evaluates the patient’s facial structure, hair line, and hair density. He marks the new hairline position to achieve a natural, aesthetically pleasing result. An incision is placed along the natural hairline, which is strategically placed to ensure minimal visibility of scars, blending seamlessly into the surrounding hair. The scalp is carefully advanced to the newly marked position by removing excess skin to shorten the vertical length of the forehead. The repositioned scalp is anchored with the Endochor device (carpet gripper) to prevent any tension and ensure long-lasting results. Special care is taken to avoid disrupting hair follicles, which helps maintain healthy hair growth. The incision is meticulously closed with fine sutures to minimise scarring. Post-surgical instructions are provided to aid proper healing and recovery.

Post-Operative Recovery
Following hairline lowering surgery, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the incision area. These symptoms are normal and typically subside within the first 1-2 weeks. A headband or light compression may be recommended to support the healing process.
The incision line will initially appear pink but will fade over several months to blend naturally with surrounding hair. Mr Wilson’s expertise in scar minimisation ensures that any scarring is as discreet as possible. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in facial proportions, with full results becoming apparent after swelling subsides. While healing times vary, most patients can return to daily activities within 7-10 days. A follow-up consultation will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure satisfaction with the results.
