Hairline Lowering
Hairline lowering surgery is designed to reduce the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline to a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing position. This procedure can improve facial proportions while maintaining a natural-looking appearance.
Dr. Amra Olafson believes successful hairline lowering should create harmony between the forehead, eyes, nose, and lower face. Her goal is to achieve natural-looking results that complement each patient’s unique facial anatomy.
