Hairline advancement (hairline lowering) surgically moves the hairline forward to reduce forehead height and create a more feminine facial proportion — with immediate, permanent results.
Hairline advancement (also called scalp advancement or hairline lowering) surgically repositions the frontal hairline forward — reducing forehead height and creating a more feminine facial frame.
A feminine forehead is typically smaller in height (4–5 cm) with a rounded hairline shape. Hairline advancement achieves a permanent, immediate result that hair transplants cannot — by actually moving the existing hairline.
This procedure is commonly combined with frontal bone remodeling and brow lift as part of a comprehensive facial feminization plan.
Dr. Chung surgically lowers the hairline for a more balanced, proportional face — with naturally integrated, permanent results.
Patients with naturally high hairlines who want a more proportional facial balance — not related to hair loss.
Patients whose hairline was elevated as a result of previous facelift surgery.
One of the key procedures in FFS — lowering the hairline significantly feminizes the upper face.
The irregular hairline edge and post-surgical hair growth create a completely natural appearance.
Unlike hair transplants, the result is immediate and permanent — no grafts or multiple sessions needed.
Often combined with forehead contouring or brow lift to address both the hairline position and forehead shape.
Dr. Chung and his team accompany you throughout your entire recovery to ensure the best possible results.
Hairline advancement moves the existing hairline forward immediately with a single procedure. Hair transplants add density but cannot move the scalp — they take 12+ months to show results and may require multiple sessions.
The incision is made at the hairline — where hair growth disguises the scar effectively. Dr. Chung places the incision in an irregular pattern that blends with the natural hairline. Scarring is minimal and well-concealed.
Typically 1–3 cm, depending on scalp laxity. Dr. Chung assesses your scalp flexibility at the consultation to determine the safe and effective advancement distance.
Yes. Hairline advancement is frequently combined with forehead bone remodeling, brow lift, and other FFS procedures for comprehensive facial feminization.
Most swelling resolves within 10–14 days. The scalp may feel tight initially, which is normal. Most patients return to work and social activities within 1–2 weeks.
