Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted March 13, 2006 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2006 Recently Dr. Sheldon Kabaker, a very highly regarded facial cosmetic surgeon, reminded me of a surgical technique that he has successfully provided to his patients for over twenty years. It is called a forehead reduction and it works particularly well for women who want to either reestablish or lower their hairline with optimal density (that can be hard to establish even with dense packing). Essentially this two hour procedure involves excising tissue in front of the receded or high hairline and then bringing the forehead tissue up and under the hairline. By using a trycophetic closure the scar become hidden behind the hair growing in front of and through the thin scar and is thus virtually undectable. In addition to lowering the hairline the patient also gets a bit of a brow lift as well. I think this procedure is particularly well suited to women like Dr. Kabaker's forehead reeducation patient shown below. Dr. Kabaker also performs follicular unit grafting and is based in the Oakland California area. Never Forget - It's what radiates from within, not from your skin, that really matters!

Regular Member mxm Posted March 13, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 13, 2006 I would imagine this procedure would not be well suited for males, seeing that mpb would eventually take in and the hair covering the scar would be lost, thus exposing it.

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted March 13, 2006 Author Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2006 MXM, That's a very good point. I think that's why this procedure is primarily done for women who were born with a hairline that is so high that they simply do not like their hairline so high (like the woman in the photo). I think in her case it really did improve her look. Never Forget - It's what radiates from within, not from your skin, that really matters!

Senior Member GuitarPlayer Posted March 14, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2006 Very impressive work. Dr. Kabaker seems to be another surgoen who does not get his due online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's frustrating to see how much this happens. I would have to agree that this is probably not the best of ideas for males, but for females that are self-conscious about their naturally-high hairline, it can be a real breathe of fresh air. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rocky Posted March 20, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2006 Gee, and i thought scalp reduction was frowned upon by our experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HK500 Posted February 6, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted February 6, 2007 I know this is an old post I'm reviving here .... I have a female friend who now has a very high hairline due to a face/brow lift, would this procedure work even though there are some kind of clips left in place holding the muscles under the skin?
