hi, i’m a female with a high forehead. I want to do a lower forehead surgery. I have some questions about the surgery.
- will it be local anesthesia or will i be put into sleep.
- how long will it take to look normal after the surgery.
- will the scar be obviou during the recovery period?
- will people notice that i did a surgery if i go out one week after the surgery?
- do you have any recommendation for doctors in toronto area?
Thank you very much for your time.
I will answer your questions as if you mean the hairline lowering procedure through excisional surgery, and not hair transplantation.
- This procedure is usually done under local anesthesia with some sedation.
- The effects are immediate, although there is swelling for up to a week. There is a scar at the hairline, so if you have bangs you should use them to cover the hairline scar. These scars are usually detectable for a few weeks. A small number of people will develop a white scar at the surgical site which can easily be treated with a limited hair transplant.
- Yes, the scar may be obvious while healing, but most patients can cover it pretty well with their existing hair.
- It depends on your art of styling that you use to cover the incision area and the lower hairline. As I said above, the use of bangs is a good idea because the new lower hairline should be introduced slowly so that the change will be more transparent. In a hair transplant, the change is so slow that no one usually notices it, but with this more radical surgery the final results of the new hairline is instantaneous. If you want to pull the hair back, the incision could be seen.
- No, unfortunately I do not have a recommendation in Toronto. Check with a good plastic surgeon in your area. Look for recommendations online, I suppose.
