# Forehead Lowering Surgery in Sydney

Forehead lowering surgery, also called hairline lowering, hairline advancement, forehead reduction, or scalp advancement, reduces the vertical height of the forehead by moving the hairline forward. The procedure suits patients with a constitutionally high hairline who feel their facial proportions would be improved by a shorter forehead. It is distinct from [brow lift](https://drturner.com.au/procedures/eyes/brow-lift/), which repositions the eyebrow rather than the hairline itself. At consultation, Dr Scott J Turner, FRACS, assesses scalp laxity, frontal hair density, hair loss pattern, brow position, facial proportions, and expected scar appearance before recommending forehead lowering, brow lift, hair transplantation, or a non-surgical alternative.
