FFS - Forehead Feminization

orbital bony contouring

(forehead contouring)

Create a softer, more feminine forehead by reducing prominent brow ridges.

One of the most defining differences between masculine and feminine facial structure lies in the forehead. Masculine foreheads tend to have a heavier brow ridge, while feminine features appear smoother and more open in the upper third of the face.

What the procedure addresses:

Prominent or protruding brow bones
Heavy, masculine appearance of the upper face
Lack of smooth contour between forehead and orbital area

What to expect with Dr. Mayer:

Orbital Bony Contouring (also called Supraorbital Bone Reduction) is paired with a Forehead Lift and Hairline Lowering for dramatic results
Dr. Toby G. Mayer, M.D., pioneered this trio of techniques over 50 years ago
His method encourages hair to grow through and in front of the incision line for a concealed, natural-looking result

Together, these procedures transform the upper third of the face and bring it into feminine harmony—without visible signs of surgery.

forehead lift

(BROWLIFT)

Lift the brows and reduce forehead height to create a softer, more feminine look.

This procedure raises the eyebrows and brings the hairline forward, helping to shorten the forehead and open the upper face. It’s commonly paired with Orbital Bony Contouring to further smooth the brow area and reduce masculine angles.

Why choose Dr. Mayer’s technique:

Combines Forehead Lift and Hairline Lowering into one surgery

Hair grows through and in front of the incision to conceal any scarring

Designed for a balanced, natural result—not an artificial look

In cases of advanced hair loss, other hair restoration options may be recommended alongside this procedure.

hairline lowering
(forehead reduction)

Shorten the forehead and refine the hairline with a natural finish.

Dr. Toby G. Mayer, M.D., pioneered this technique over 50 years ago and published it in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Scalp. His method uses an Irregular Trichophytic Incision, allowing hair to grow through the scar for virtually undetectable results.

Why patients trust Dr. Mayer:

Over five decades of experience with Hairline Lowering
Frequently chosen by performers, models, and public figures

Seamlessly blends surgical precision with aesthetic artistry

This procedure is often combined with a Forehead Lift for a full upper-face transformation.

TISSUE EXPANSION

Create room for hairline advancement without visible scalp tension or scarring.

When a patient’s scalp is too tight for immediate advancement, Dr. Mayer may recommend tissue expansion. This allows the scalp to gently stretch over time, making room for a lower, more feminine hairline.
