If you’ve ever wished your forehead was smaller or your hairline a little lower, you’re not alone. A high or receding hairline can affect facial balance and confidence—especially in men and women with genetically larger foreheads or those who’ve experienced early hairline thinning. In Turkey, forehead hair transplants offer a surgical solution to restore facial harmony through strategic hairline advancement and graft placement.

What Is a Forehead Hair Transplant?
A forehead hair transplant, also called hair grafting for forehead or forehead hairline lowering, is a procedure that uses your own hair follicles to reconstruct or lower the hairline. It’s commonly used to create a more proportionate forehead or fix a receding frontal hairline.
This differs from surgical forehead reduction (which involves removing skin from the scalp). Hair transplantation is less invasive, leaves no scalp excision scar, and delivers more natural, customizable results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
- People with a genetically high forehead
- Men or women with frontal hairline recession
- Individuals seeking to balance facial proportions without major surgery
- Patients with stable hair loss and good donor hair density
For some, a forehead hair transplant is combined with hairline lowering surgery for more dramatic results.
How Hair Grafting for Forehead Works
During the procedure, hair follicles (usually 1,500–3,000 grafts) are extracted from the back of the scalp and carefully implanted along the new, lower hairline. Surgeons design a natural-looking curve based on facial symmetry, age, and ethnic characteristics. Grafts are placed at precise angles to replicate natural growth.
This method can reduce the forehead by 1–3 cm on average, depending on the hairline design and available grafts.

Can a Hair Transplant Reduce Forehead Size?
Yes. A hair transplant to lower the forehead can visually reduce forehead height without altering the bone structure. By bringing the hairline forward, the face appears shorter and more balanced. This effect is especially transformative for patients with a prominent forehead due to genetics or aging.
Best Technique for Lowering the Hairline with Transplants
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the preferred method for forehead hair implants due to its precision, minimal scarring, and natural hairline design flexibility. DHI may also be used in some cases, depending on density goals and graft control needs.
At Estenove, both options are priced equally and tailored to your facial features.
