Can I Get A 2cm Frontal Hairline Advancement?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to do  also an hairline advancement. So advance the hairline about 2 cm and make it straight.

A:Certainly one can have a frontal hairline advancement at the same time as frontal bossing reduction as the two procedures are synergistic both in terms of technical execution as well as their aesthetic effects. You never know the exact amount of frontal hairline advancement one can achieve until you’re actually doing the procedure. Does it cannot be predicted before hand whether the line you have made can be reached. Based on my experience I suspect that amount of frontal hairline advancement is a bit over enthusiastic as to what can actually be accomplished. You certainly can reach 50% of that advancement and likely more. I just would not count on reaching 100% or 2 cm of advancement.

Also be aware that a frontal hairline advancement is not likely to make it straight. The advancement will largely follow the existing shape of your hairline.
