Forehead Reduction

Forehead Reduction Surgery in Liverpool

With Mr Rob Laycock, Consultant Facial Plastic Surgeon at The Pinewoods Clinic

If you feel that your forehead appears disproportionately high or your hairline sits too far back, forehead reduction surgery (also known as hairline lowering surgery) can help restore balance and harmony to your facial features.

At The Pinewoods Clinic in Liverpool, Mr Rob Laycock, an experienced Consultant Facial Plastic Surgeon, offers bespoke forehead reduction procedures designed to achieve natural, long-lasting results with precision and care.

What Is Forehead Reduction Surgery?

Forehead reduction surgery is a specialist cosmetic procedure that lowers the hairline to shorten the height of the forehead. This helps create a more balanced facial appearance and a softer, more proportionate aesthetic.

The surgery can be an excellent option for:

• Individuals with a naturally high forehead or receding hairline
• Those seeking to improve facial balance and symmetry
• Patients wishing to restore confidence in their appearance

About Mr Rob Laycock

Mr Rob Laycock is a highly skilled Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon with extensive experience in aesthetic facial surgery. His expertise ensures that every procedure is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, expectations, and goals — prioritising safety, precision, and natural-looking outcomes.

The Procedure

Forehead reduction surgery is performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on the case.

• A fine incision is made along the natural hairline.
• The scalp is carefully repositioned and secured lower on the forehead.
• The incision is closed using fine sutures to minimise visible scarring.

The procedure typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, and patients can return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience mild swelling or tightness for a few days, with recovery taking around 7–10 days. The scar usually heals discreetly within the hairline, becoming less noticeable over time.

Results are immediate and long-lasting, giving the face a more balanced, youthful, and proportionate look.
