A hairline correction that lowers the forehead to bring the overall facial proportions into balance.
Wide forehead correction goes beyond simply narrowing the forehead. It analyzes the proportions between the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and chin together to design a natural-looking impression.
How far to lower it is decided by facial proportion, not by the amount of hair. We first settle the point where the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face balance, then calculate the follicles that height needs.
MOLIV carefully adjusts the transplant angle, density, and direction to match facial proportions, including the design of natural baby hairs along the hairline edge.
Effects
- A wide forehead is naturally reduced, improving facial proportions
- An angular hairline is softened into a gentle curve, creating a more approachable impression
- Baby hair expression ensures no visible transplant traces for a natural result
- As the hairline position and curve change, the overall impression becomes softer
Recommended for
- A wide forehead that makes the face appear elongated
- The hairline shape makes the overall impression feel rigid
Process
Facial Analysis Consultation — We comprehensively analyze your face shape, proportions, and current hairline condition.
Hairline Design — We design the optimal hairline considering proportions and facial impression.
Precision Transplant — Grafts are placed with carefully controlled angles and density according to the design.
Follow-Up — We monitor graft survival and the formation of a natural-looking hairline.
Precautions
- Final results can be assessed approximately 6–12 months after the procedure
- Direct contact with the transplant area should be avoided for 1–2 weeks after surgery
- This differs from forehead reduction surgery; the distinction should be clarified during consultation
Related FAQ
Is youthful hairline correction available for men?
Yes, hairline correction tailored to forehead proportions and facial impression is available for men as well.
How long until the results look natural?
You can typically see natural-looking results approximately 6 to 12 months after the procedure.
How is this different from forehead reduction surgery?
Forehead reduction surgery pulls the scalp forward to reduce the forehead, while hairline correction uses hair transplantation to create a natural-looking hairline.
How does recovery progress?
Mild swelling may appear for the first 2–3 days, and scabs fall away naturally over 7–14 days. Transplanted hairs shed temporarily between weeks 2 and 8, new growth begins around months 3–4, and the result matures over 6–12 months. The head doctor reviews your progress together at each follow-up visit.
What graft survival rate can I expect?
It varies with scalp condition and the treated area, but through a process designed to minimize follicle damage from extraction to placement, you can generally expect a graft survival rate of 95% or higher.
When can I wash my hair?
Gentle washing usually starts on day 3–4 following the method we guide you through, and from about a week on you can wash as usual. We help you with the first wash in person when you visit.
