Hairline Correction Surgery: Redefine Your Face Frame with Precision and Confidence

Your hairline plays a critical role in framing your face and influencing your overall appearance. A receding, uneven, or overly high hairline can make the forehead appear larger or create an unbalanced facial profile. That’s where Hairline Correction Surgery comes in—a refined, permanent solution to reshape your hairline and boost your self-confidence.

Whether you’re looking to soften a masculine hairline, create a more youthful frame, or correct congenital asymmetry, hairline surgery offers natural, long-lasting results. With South Korea leading the global field in hair restoration and facial aesthetics, it’s a top destination for anyone seeking safe, customized hairline correction.


🧠 What Is Hairline Correction Surgery?

Hairline Correction Surgery, also known as hairline lowering surgery or forehead reduction with hair transplantation, is a cosmetic procedure that repositions or reshapes the front hairline using follicular unit hair transplantation (FUT or FUE). The goal is to create a more flattering, symmetrical, and harmonious facial appearance.

This procedure is commonly used to:

  • Lower a naturally high forehead
  • Reshape a square or M-shaped hairline
  • Correct uneven or asymmetrical hairlines
  • Feminize a hairline (facial gender affirmation)
  • Restore hair lost due to traction or scarring

✨ Key Benefits of Hairline Correction Surgery

  • Customized Hairline Design
    Each hairline is designed using digital imaging to suit your facial proportions, age, gender, and preferences.
  • Natural-Looking Results
    When performed by skilled surgeons, the transplanted hairs mimic natural growth patterns and direction.
  • Permanent Solution
    Unlike temporary treatments or hairline tattoos, this surgical option provides a lasting transformation.
  • Improved Facial Balance
    A well-positioned hairline enhances harmony between the forehead, eyes, and jawline.
  • Boost in Confidence
    Many patients report feeling more youthful, attractive, and confident in social and professional settings.

🧑‍⚕️ Who Is a Good Candidate?

Hairline correction surgery is suitable for both men and women, particularly those who:

  • Have a naturally high or receded hairline
  • Experience forehead disproportion or large facial ratios
  • Desire a softer or more feminine hairline shape
  • Have stable hair loss patterns (in males)
  • Are in good health with realistic expectations
  • Have sufficient donor hair (typically from the back of the scalp)

🔍 Procedure Overview: How Hairline Correction Works

  1. Consultation and Digital Hairline Mapping
    Your doctor assesses facial proportions, hair density, and skin laxity. A natural-looking hairline is designed digitally.
  2. Donor Hair Harvesting
    Hair follicles are extracted from the back or sides of the scalp using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Strip Method).
  3. Recipient Site Preparation
    Tiny incisions are made along the new hairline design to prepare for graft placement.
  4. Graft Implantation
    Individual hair grafts are implanted meticulously at specific angles to replicate natural hair growth.
  5. Recovery and Aftercare
    You may experience mild swelling or scabbing for a few days. Initial results begin to show in 3–4 months, with full results in 9–12 months.
