FOREHEAD REDUCTION
& HAIRLINE LOWERING
Developed by Dr. Mayer, M.D., F.A.C.S. Refined for natural results.
Dr. Mayer pioneered the Hairline Lowering procedure more than 50 years ago -- documenting it in his medical textbook, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery of the Scalp, which is now considered a foundational resource for scalp surgery worldwide.
What Makes His Technique Unique?
-
Dr. Mayer created the Irregular Trichophytic Incision, a method that allows hair to grow through and in front of the scar, making it virtually invisible.
-
His technique has been used on actors, influencers, pageant winners, and models across the globe.
What Hairline Lowering Can Address:
-
A naturally high hairline, whether from genetics or previous surgery
-
An unbalanced facial ratio, making the forehead appear overly large
-
A masculine or aging appearance caused by a receding hairline
How the Procedure Works
-
The hairline is surgically advanced to a lower, more proportionate position.
-
It can be performed on its own or paired with a forehead/brow lift.
-
When more stretch is needed, a Tissue Expander may be used:
-
Inserted beneath the scalp and gradually filled over time
-
Once ready, the expander is removed and the hairline is advanced using the scar-camouflaging incision
-
The Result?
A natural, feminine hairline—minimal visible scarring, maximum confidence—crafted by the surgeon who literally wrote the book on it.
FOREHEAD / EYEBROW LIFT
Brighten the eyes and smooth the brow for a more youthful, rested appearance.
As we age, the forehead and brows begin to descend, causing the upper eyelids to appear heavy and the eyes to look smaller. Deep lines and forehead grooves can make a person look tired, angry, or stressed - even when they’re not.
A forehead or eyebrow lift gently raises the brow and improves the upper face, often restoring a more open, youthful expression.
What this procedure addresses:
-
Drooping brows that create heaviness in the upper eyelids
-
Hooding of the eyelid skin that makes eyes appear smaller
-
Frown lines between the brows and horizontal forehead creases
-
Tired or “angry” appearance due to deep grooves
Our Approach:
-
In patients with good brow position, only excess eyelid skin may be removed for a refreshed look
-
In patients with low eyebrows, the best results come from lifting the brow with or without eyelid skin removal
Hairline Considerations:
-
For patients with a very low hairline, a coronal lift is performed with the incision hidden inside the scalp
-
For the majority of patients (about 90%) with high or normal hairlines, we use a special technique to camouflage the incision along the hairline, preserving or even lowering the natural hairline position
This procedure not only lifts the brows but also helps soften forehead lines and relax frown lines, offering a rested and naturally rejuvenated result.. never surprised or overdone.
ORBITAL BONY CONTOURING
(FOREHEAD CONTOURING)
Refine the brow bone and soften the upper face with a discreet, natural finish.
This procedure reduces the prominence of the brow ridge by reshaping the underlying bone, helping to create a smoother, more balanced forehead. It is commonly chosen by patients seeking a more refined, youthful upper facial contour.
Procedure Overview:
-
Performed under general anesthesia
-
Takes approximately 1½ hours
-
An incision is made at the hairline to access the brow bone
-
The bone is carefully contoured and the forehead is repositioned and secured at the hairline
Our Signature Technique:
Dr. Mayer uses the Irregular Trichophytic Incision, a method that allows hair to grow through and in front of the incision. During closure, the scalp is turned under slightly to bury hair follicles, so after about three weeks, new hair grows through the incision, making it virtually undetectable.
Recovery:
-
A bandage is worn overnight
-
Sutures are removed at six days
-
Most patients are able to fly home the same day their sutures are removed
This advanced technique delivers natural results with minimal visible scarring, preserving your hairline and restoring smoothness to the upper third of the face.
