Can I Widen My Forehead and Lower My Hairline For A Better Forehead Shape?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I want a more aesthetically pleasing forehead. I have a high hairline and a narrow forehead. What can I do?

A:Your goals indicate a desire for both forehead-temproal widening and hairline lowering. The problem is each one is contrarian to the other. Meaning they can not be done at the same time. When you augment the forehead-temporal area you limit how much, if any, the hairline can be lowered.  And vice versa. Thus to achieve both it needs to be a staged procedure. My recommendation  is to do the frontal hairline first which by itself will make the forehead look wider.
