The woman's forehead surgery healing journey

She captioned the post, confirming the impressive transformation: "This was a 3.5+ reduction, without expansion balloons." In the comments section, @superficial.fitness explained that the procedure aims to reduce the height of the forehead to achieve greater facial proportion. She added that when the hairline is moved lower, it creates the illusion of curves. The woman shared her journey with no mention of informed consent or medical advice from qualified professionals.

What is a forehead reduction procedure?

Forehead reduction is a surgical procedure that addresses an excessively high hairline, often caused by genetic factors or hair loss. By moving the entire scalp forward and removing excess forehead skin, one can correct the disproportionate look that can cause self-consciousness. According to Medical Hair Restoration, the operation costs are around R30,000 (excluding VAT), but the price is subject to the amount of surgery one needs and the amount of hairline that needs to be lowered. The hair experts note that the operation takes 1.5 to 2 hours under sedation.
