Hairline Lowering Surgery: A Confidence-Boosting Transformation in Houston, TX
A high or receding hairline can affect your self-esteem and confidence. If you feel frustrated by how your hairline impacts your appearance, you’re not alone—and there’s a solution.

This treatment can help restore a youthful, natural hairline, giving you the confidence boost you’ve been looking for. It’s not just about looks—it’s about feeling like the best version of yourself.
What is Hairline Lowering?
Hairline lowering surgery involves lowering the position of your hairline to reduce a high or receding forehead. The procedure includes a carefully placed incision along your scalp (usually within the natural hairline) to remove excess forehead skin. Dr. Chattha then repositions the hairline lower on the forehead, creating a more balanced, youthful appearance. For optimal contour, he may also reshape the scalp or forehead, with minimal visible scarring once healed.
Procedure Duration: The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 2 hours.

What’s the first step?
The journey to a more balanced, youthful hairline begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Chattha. During this meeting, he will assess your unique hairline, listen to your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for hairline lowering. Dr. Chattha will explain every step of the procedure, including pre-operative instructions to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.
What to Expect on the Day of Surgery
On the day of your hairline lowering surgery, Dr. Chattha will administer general anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. It typically takes around 2 hours to complete. After surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to promote quick recovery and help you enjoy your new appearance.
Incision Location: The incision is made in the pretrichial region (near the hairline), and while some scarring is expected, it is usually well-hidden by the hair, making the final result look natural. The most common complaint is the scar, but with proper scar care, it fades well over time.
Hairline Lowering Based on Facial Proportions: Dr. Chattha uses your “facial thirds” to determine the degree of hairline lowering. For females, the ideal hairline should be 5.5–5.8 cm from the top of the forehead, while for males, it should be 7–8 cm.

- Full recovery takes 1–2 weeks, with most patients able to return to normal activities after 2 weeks
- Temporary numbness or tingling around the hairline is common but resolves in a few months
