When you look in the mirror,
your forehead seems unusually large.
In photos, your face appears longer than your friends.
Often, this is due to forehead proportions.
Because of concerns like these,
more people have been seeking forehead reduction surgery.
And the first question most people ask during consultation is,
“How much does forehead reduction surgery cost?”
Cost is important,
but there are three essential points
you should know before the surgery.
"What Is Forehead Reduction Surgery?"
Before explaining the three key points,
let’s first look at what forehead reduction surgery actually is.
✔️ The face is ideally divided into a 1:1:1 ratio
among the upper, mid, and lower thirds.
However,
the ideal proportions differ for each person depending
on head shape, eyebrow position and nose length.
A forehead that is too wide or a hairline
that is uneven can disrupt facial harmony.
Forehead reduction surgery is a procedure
that restores balance when these proportions feel off.
"Point 1: Design"
The core of forehead reduction surgery
is not simply reducing the forehead.
It is creating proportions
that match your facial shape and features.
Just a few millimeters can completely change your impression,
which is why a delicate design is essential.
If not designed properly, it can result
in a harsh look or features that appear cramped.
Therefore, the angle of the skull, eyebrow position,
nose length and jawline must all be considered
to form a natural, cohesive design.
"Point 2: A Systematic Approach"
The reason the cost of forehead reduction differs
among clinics is the level of detail and surgical skill involved.
Incision placement, suturing techniques, internal fixation methods
and the precision of the hairline curve all influence the final outcome.
This is why it is more important to check
whether the clinic offers detailed design work
and a structured scar-care system
rather than focusing solely on price.
"Point 3: Postoperative Care"
Recovery management determines
more than 30 percent of the final result.
Healing of the incision,
scar softening and the process of blending the hairline naturally
all vary based on the clinic’s aftercare expertise.
At Luho Plastic Surgery Clinic,
four aftercare treatments are performed
to enhance recovery speed and final results.
1. Regeneration and swelling-reduction lasers
(Healite, Omega Light)
2. PRP injections for hair-loss prevention
and scar care (when forehead reduction is performed)
3. Forehead Botox for scar prevention
4. Scar-treatment injections
