Transform Your Forehead, Elevate Your Confidence
Do you feel your forehead is too wide, making your face look long? Or are you bothered by an M-shaped or uneven hairline?
At Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, we design the ideal forehead line for each person, considering facial proportions and harmony. You no longer need to hide your forehead under hats or bangs — we'll help you confidently show it off.
What is Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Forehead reduction surgery shortens the length of a wide forehead to create better upper-face proportions. We design an incision along your hairline, remove a section of forehead skin, then move the scalp forward and suture it to match the new length.
Slimmer, Smaller Appearance — By bringing the hairline forward, we shorten the vertical length of the face, creating the visual effect of a smaller face and a more refined, well-balanced facial shape.
Fresher, More Refined Look — If a wide forehead gives you a closed or heavy impression, forehead reduction can open up your look and make it feel brighter and more approachable.
Reduce Forehead Length Without Hair Transplants — Unlike hair transplants, this surgery directly shortens the forehead using skin removal and repositioning. It's faster, with an immediate and visible shortening effect.
You May Be a Good Candidate If:
- Your forehead is wide and makes your face look long
- You have an M-shaped or uneven hairline
- A wide forehead makes you look older or gives a heavy impression
- You lack confidence in hairstyles that show your forehead
- You want to achieve balanced, golden facial proportions
Why Choose Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery?
1. Experienced Plastic Surgeon, Custom Designs — Dr. Tak personally handles your consultation, surgery, and follow-up. He goes beyond simply shortening the forehead, creating a customized hairline that enhances facial balance and individuality.
2. Minimal Scarring with Precise Hairline Incisions — We use angled incisions that follow natural hair growth patterns to avoid damaging follicles. Hair grows through the scar line, making it nearly invisible over time.

4. Post-Surgery Care for Fast Recovery — We offer tailored aftercare, including swelling management and scar treatments, to help you return to daily life quickly.
Things to Consider Before Surgery

- Aftercare — Following post-surgery care instructions is key for optimal healing.
- Surgeon's Experience — This is a delicate, high-precision procedure, so choose a surgeon with proven skill and results.

Forehead Reduction + Brow Lift for Maximum Balance
Forehead reduction alone can be very effective, but in some cases, combining it with a brow lift creates an even greater improvement. A brow lift is ideal if you have drooping eyebrows, deep frown lines, or want to open up your eyes while reducing forehead length. At Dr. Tak Plastic Surgery, we assess your features and goals to recommend the best option for you.
