Forehead reduction vs. Hair line correction

Which one is right for me?

Most people often think of hair line correction or hair transplant to reduce their size of foreheads.
However, you cannot overlook your own size of forehead or volume according to your face proportion. Showing off your forehead by buns or updo hairstyle is often seen in recent Korean entertaining programs and dramas.

Then you might wonder which procedure is right for you between hair line transplant and forehead reduction.
Incisional hair transplant needs time for the hair to fall out and new hair to be grown from the scar. After the hair transplant surgery, you need to wait for a certain time to do an updo or ponytail style.

Dr. Moon Seok Kang, the chief surgeon at Wonjin, said, “It doesn’t really matter if the size of hair loss area is not that big and partial area can be covered by partial hair transplant. Partial hair transplant can be operated if the size of hair loss area is not big but if there’s a wider gap between forehead and hair line, it would be better that you get a forehead reduction rather than a hair transplant”.

“There are plenty of women who are very sensitive with their hair design before and after. However, it is necessary to get sufficient consultations before the surgery to get the best result. Recently the number of young men patients with M-hairline balding caused by stress and partial hair loss got increased”, he explained.

Dr. Kang’s research paper on forehead reduction is registered on KSPRS (Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons). He explained in his paper that “It is possible to put down your natural hairline to cover which minimized the scar on the area of forehead and hairline border and it minimizes the damage of scalp and hair. By using Entodine, it creates the most natural and soft looking hairline and it holds the minor movements from the scalp. It requires a short time of recovery. You can leave the hospital on the surgery day and allows returning to everyday activity on the very next day.

He advised to get consultation with many different clinics and carefully decided for a skillful specialist if you are considering getting a hair line correction or a hair transplant.
