SURGERY PLAN TRANSCRIPT:

So today we are doing a forehead reduction, also known as a hair lowering procedure, as well as a forehead lift. Our patient's forehead is at 9 cm, meaning that the distance from in between the brow to the forehead or hairline is 9 cm. And she obviously wishes for that to be shorter.

So today we are doing a forehead reduction, also known as a hair lowering procedure, as well as a forehead lift. Our patient's forehead is at 9 cm, meaning that the distance from in between the brow to the forehead or hairline is 9 cm. And she obviously wishes for that to be shorter. The normal for a female is about six to six and a half centimeters. So if I can remove an inch of skin and obviously fat from this area, I can advance her forehead forward. So to do that, we're gonna make an incision in front of the hairline. We're gonna keep some of the hair follicles. And once I get to her skull, I'm essentially gonna be elevating the scalp over the bone and then advancing it forward, and that's going to be our forehead reduction. She also wants a forehead lift because her brow position is at the rim of the orbit. This is called the superior orbital rim, and in a female you really want it to be higher by 1 to 1.5 centimeters. So what we're going to do is that we're going to utilize this incision again, go all the way to the bone, elevate everything to the brow, and then lift it up this way and reposition her brow at a higher position. So essentially using one incision to achieve two surgeries and two outcomes. One is to reduce the forehead and two is to do a forehead lift. There you go.

9 MONTHS FOLLOW UP TRANSCRIPT:

Okay, we're nine months out from a forehead lift and a forehead reduction, and she has the most beautiful scar that healed so well. It's hidden in her hair because her hair is growing through the incision.
