What is a lowered hairline?
A hairline lowering is a surgical procedure in which the hairline is moved forward by a few centimeters. This visually reduces the size of the forehead and creates a more feminine proportion between the hairline, eyes, and face.
For many transgender women, a high hairline is one of the most visible masculine features. Lowering the hairline gives the upper part of the face a softer appearance and enhances the feminine shape of the forehead.
The treatment is often combined with forehead recontouring to achieve an optimal feminizing result.

Who is a lowered hairline suitable for?
This treatment is suitable for patients who experience a high hairline or large forehead and wish to refine their facial proportions.
High hairline
When the forehead is perceived as too large or too dominant.
Transgender women
A highly requested treatment within Facial Feminization Surgery.
Combination with forehead recontouring

Patients with sufficient scalp elasticity
Good elasticity enables optimal lowering of the hairline.
A feminine face starts with the right proportions.
The position of the hairline has a major influence on how a face is perceived. A lower and more rounded hairline is often associated with feminine facial features.
By shifting the hairline in a natural way, a softer transition is created between the hairline and forehead without the result looking artificial.
At o2 Clinic (2pass Clinic), we pay close attention to symmetry, proportion, and natural contours so that the new hairline perfectly complements your facial structure.
Recovery & Aftercare
After a hairline lowering, swelling, mild tenderness, and a tight feeling in the forehead may occur. These reactions are normal and gradually decrease during recovery.
During the first few weeks, we provide close guidance and monitor the healing process during follow-up consultations. The scar line is typically located along the hairline and becomes less visible over time.
The final result becomes visible once the swelling has subsided and the new hairline is fully integrated into the natural hair growth pattern.
