<\/div>\nWhen skillfully and artistically performed, the procedure is associated with a very high level of satisfaction. Patients are usually thrilled and feel more comfortable styling their hair back, revealing their new forehead of normal height.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_global_section id=”280″][vc_column_text]\n
Is there a non-surgical option?<\/h2>\n
Aside from camouflaging the high forehead using hairstyles or hats, there is no non-surgical treatment that reduces the height of the forehead, and lowers the hairline. Forehead Reduction surgery is the only option that reliably accomplishes this.<\/p>\n
Who is a candidate for Forehead Reduction?<\/h2>\n
Patients who usually seek a consultation for Forehead Reduction are often younger patient, or occasionally patients in their 40\u2019s or 50\u2019s who did not have the opportunity previously. Patients who are bothered by a high forehead, avoid styling their hair back, or use their hair to hide their long forehead are candidates for this procedure.<\/p>\n
Will it affect the eyebrows?<\/h2>\n
No. During Forehead Reduction, Dr. Samaha moves the hairline down but does not move the eyebrows up.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_global_section id=”4992″][vc_column_text]\n
Does Forehead Reduction Leave Noticeable Scars?<\/h2>\n
All surgical procedures leave scars, but Dr. Samaha\u2019s surgical technique results in well placed, thin scars that are imperceptible.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the difference between forehead reduction surgery and a brow lift?<\/h2>\n
Forehead reduction surgery and brow lift are two distinct procedures that cater to different aesthetic needs. Forehead reduction surgery aims to decrease the size of the forehead, whereas a brow lift focuses on reducing the appearance of an aging forehead. If you\u2019re concerned with wrinkles or a heavy brow, you can learn more about brow lift surgery here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The procedure takes approximately 1 hour to complete, and patients are given time to recover in the clinic. Our Montreal forehead reduction patients go home within 1 to 2 hours following surgery. A bandage to protect the surgical area is placed and a drain will be placed in the incision to collect any fluid that may accumulate under the skin during the first 24-48 hours.<\/p>\n Patients return to the clinic for a follow-up appointment 24-48 hours after surgery, at which time the bandage and drain are removed. Dr. Samaha\u2019s nurse will then place a lighter dressing, which the patient can easily remove and replace at home according to instructions provided. Patients can wash their hair 72 hours after surgery.<\/p>\n During the second follow-up appointment (7-10 days following surgery) the Sutures are removed. At this point there is usually little or no bruising and very minimal swelling. Dr. Samaha examines the forehead, incisions, and overall recovery. It\u2019s at this point that many patients feel well enough to resume their normal activities, including work if their job isn\u2019t strenuous.<\/p>\n The worst of the swelling should begin to subside during the first week, at which point the initial result becomes apparent. Further \u201csettling\u201d continues in the weeks and months following surgery. Usually, within 2-3 months, the final result fully manifests, with scars significantly flattened, faded, and hidden in the roots of the hair.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”bcp-r2″]\n Most patients are in their 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s but the procedure can be performed at any age.<\/p>\n You should avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for about 10 days. Other maneuvers that require straining are also to be avoided, including bending forward. Otherwise, patients may carry out usual activities.<\/p>\n Approximately one week. Most of the swelling and bruising have subsided by that time.<\/p>\n No. Forehead reduction is not usually associated with any pain. Most patients do not need the pain medication prescribed.<\/p>\n Dr. Samaha\u2019s technique is minimally invasive in order to minimize swelling and bruising after surgery. As a result, swelling is minimal and resolves very rapidly. Some patients may have minimal bruising under the eyes, which gradually fades and disappears by the end of the first week following surgery.<\/p>\n The effect is permanent. No additional forehead lift procedure is necessary, even with age.<\/p>\n Dr. Samaha\u2019s is known for his natural results. The most important goal in all of his surgeries is to provide a noticeable improvement which avoids an operated look. People should not be able to tell that the patient had cosmetic surgery but should notice that the patient looks more refreshed and attractive.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We look forward to working with you to create the best forehead reduction results possible.
