A well-balanced hairline plays a crucial role in framing the face and enhancing facial harmony. Whether due to genetics, hair loss, or a naturally high forehead, an uneven or receding hairline can make the face appear longer or older. At WJ Wonjin Plastic Surgery Clinic in Seoul, one of Korea’s premier cosmetic surgery centers, hairline correction surgery is performed with artistic design and surgical precision to restore both aesthetic balance and self-confidence.
Through customized hairline lowering or reshaping techniques, WJ Wonjin helps patients—both men and women—achieve a youthful, proportionate forehead and natural-looking hair growth.
What Is Hairline Correction Surgery?
Hairline correction surgery (also known as forehead reduction surgery or hairline lowering surgery) is a procedure designed to:
- Reduce the height of the forehead
- Bring the hairline forward
- Correct asymmetries in the hairline
- Refine the shape of the hairline (e.g., from M-shaped to round)
At WJ Wonjin, this procedure can involve:
- Surgical hairline lowering – Physically repositioning the scalp forward
- Hairline transplant (FUE/FUT) – Implanting new hair follicles along the frontal scalp
- A combination of both, depending on the patient’s anatomy and goals

WJ Wonjin can combine surgical lowering with hair grafting (FUE/FUT) to fill in corners or refine density—especially useful for patients with thin hair or low scalp laxity.
Hairline Correction Surgery Techniques at WJ Wonjin
1. 🔹 Forehead Reduction Surgery
- An incision is made along the existing hairline
- The scalp is gently advanced forward
- Excess forehead skin is trimmed, and the incision is closed with fine, hidden sutures
- Results in a lowered, natural hairline and a shorter forehead
Best for patients with:
- A high forehead and good scalp elasticity
- Thick hair around the hairline
- No significant hair loss
2. 🔹 Hairline Transplant (FUE or FUT)
- Individual hair follicles are harvested from the back of the scalp
- Implanted into the frontal scalp or temples for reshaping
- Allows creation of a softer, more refined hairline
- Excellent for shaping widow’s peaks, temple points, or correcting scars
Best for patients with:
- Fine or uneven hairline
- Hair loss history or poor scalp laxity
- Need for density, not just lowering
3. 🔹 Combined Method (Hybrid Approach)
