Correction for a Wide, High Forehead,
What Makes a Good Hairline Correction Clinic?
For individuals with a wide and high forehead, the choice between hairline correction surgery and forehead reduction surgery often comes with hesitation. Some worry that forehead reduction surgery might not lower the forehead enough, leading to an unnatural hairline, visible scars, or even hair loss. On the other hand, concerns about reduced hair density when significantly lowering the forehead with hairline correction surgery are also common.
So, what’s the truth? At MO&LINE Plastic Surgery, we’re seeing an increasing number of patients coming in for hairline correction surgery after undergoing forehead reduction surgery, due to issues like noticeable scars, loss of baby hairs at the hairline, and a forehead that wasn’t lowered as much as expected.
Now, is it true that if you lower the hairline too much for individuals with very high foreheads, the density of the new hair will decrease? Some patients have experienced this. Many of the patients who come to us for revision surgeries after previous hairline corrections do so either to improve the shape of their forehead or hairline or to increase hair density. So, what are the standards for choosing a good hairline correction clinic?
First, the key is determining the most suitable height and width of the forehead, along with the hairline shape, for each individual. While many patients with wide, high foreheads want to significantly lower the hairline, it’s important to consider factors such as the overall harmony with the face, including the eyes, nose, mouth, and jaw, when deciding on the ideal forehead shape and size.
Since the hair transplanted once will last for a lifetime, it’s essential to think carefully. Be sure to check whether the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in facial surgery and a strong aesthetic sense of facial proportions, and whether they have demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes in a variety of hairline correction and revision cases. At our clinic, we use a 3D scanning program to allow our plastic surgeons to design hairlines with greater precision.
When performing a large-scale hairline correction for a wide, high forehead, it is crucial to ensure that the density of the newly growing hair does not decrease. This requires the technique of high-density transplantation, adjusting the angles and directions according to the thickness of each hair strand.
We first design the fine slits for follicle transplantation, following a gradient from baby hairs in the front to finer hair and then thicker hair. Since each follicle grows at a different angle and direction, these factors must be carefully considered when creating the slits to ensure that the transplanted follicles are aligned correctly.

Our unique Dual Slit Transplantation Technique, developed to overcome the limitations of traditional slits, allows for the precise and efficient placement of each follicle. The surgeon carefully checks the condition, thickness, and curl direction of each follicle before transplanting, minimizing issues such as hair curl problems or follicle damage. This is especially important for high-density hair transplants in scarred areas, where the scalp has become hardened due to fibrosis. We perform scalp optimization treatments before the transplant to increase blood flow and improve follicle survival rates in scar tissue.
Whether you’re considering FUSS(FUT), FUE, or hybrid methods, it’s important to carefully evaluate whether the clinic has a proven track record with diverse clinical results in hairline correction.
