Whether it be Reese Witherspoon or Angelina Jolie, having a big forehead has become a kind of signature. However, many celebrities are still believed to have undergone forehead reduction surgery to shorten their foreheads. In this surgery, the surgeon marks and then removes excess skin from the forehead, stitching the skin back in a way that advances the forehead. Resultingly, this surgery shortens the forehead’s height. Keep reading to find out which celebrities with big foreheads embraced theirs and which ones got surgery. You can also explore more about the forehead reduction surgery and the upsides of getting this procedure.
👩 Celebrities Who Embrace Their Big Foreheads
Below, we are mentioning celebrities who are always seen flaunting their gorgeous high foreheads:
Rihanna
Whenever we talk about big forehead beauty standards, Rihanna’s name is the first one that comes to mind. The iconic singer and owner of one of the most successful makeup brands in the world, Rihanna, has never shied away from rocking her beautiful forehead, often being seen in pulled-back hairstyles.
Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks is another celebrity example. Many have speculated that she has undergone forehead reduction surgery. However, she has talked about how she suffered from alopecia areata, which resulted in a lot of hair loss for her. She was fortunately able to heal from the condition through natural methods. Although it seems that she had fixed her hairline via an FUE procedure to make it look more symmetrical.
✨ Celebrities Rumored to Have Had Forehead Reduction
Here are all the celebrities who have been rumored to have undergone the hairline-lowering surgery:
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen shared openly that she has opted for the hairline-lowering surgery due to hair loss from her pregnancies. She has been quite open about getting this surgery, especially since she posted a photo of her stitches on Instagram back in May of this year.
She had mentioned that her hair loss had made the hair in the front of her head thin out. This led her to wear extensions on red carpets for a fuller look.
Beyoncé
While it has never been confirmed whether Beyoncé has had a forehead reduction, her hairline now looks much fuller, and her forehead appears slightly shorter. Many speculate that she has undergone a small hairline-lowering surgery to achieve this look.
👩⚕️ What Is Forehead Reduction Surgery?
A balanced hairline plays a significant role in facial symmetry and aesthetics. A combination of a forehead reduction procedure and a brow lift is an effective solution to achieve this balance of facial features if it’s not naturally present.
Forehead Reduction Surgery and Brow Lift Combination
In simple terms, a forehead reduction is a procedure that lowers the hairline. Its indications include a naturally wide forehead or a high hairline. A brow lift aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the periocular area. It addresses cosmetic issues like sagging, drooping, or asymmetrical brows.
🔴 When performed in combination, these two cosmetic surgeries have a complementary effect on facial aesthetics. This combination enables surgeons to control the final facial proportions and avoid the need for multiple incisions.
Recovery Time
The early recovery period lasts 10 – 14 days. Depending on the surgical technique, most surgeons remove sutures by the 10th day. At the end of the two weeks, most people return to work and other daily activities. It may take 2 to 6 months to see the full and final outcome of this combination surgery.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Forehead Reduction Surgery in Turkey
An ideal candidate for a combination forehead reduction surgery is someone who has:
- High hairline
- Large forehead
- Adequate scalp laxity
- Adequate hair thickness
- No active hair loss
- Optimum health status
- No secondary health issues
- Non-smoker
- Realistic expectations
🔴 Very thin hair, active hair loss, or secondary comorbid conditions are not ideal for the successful outcome of a forehead reduction surgery.
💉 Non-Surgical Alternatives
Surgical correction of a large forehead is the last resort for many people. Non-surgical alternatives like bangs, fillers, or makeup contouring techniques are usually tried first. Although effective, non-surgical techniques are temporary, labor-intensive, and may cost more in the long run.
Bangs/hairstyling
Side bangs, or curtain bangs, are a good way to conceal the width of the forehead. This is especially true for people with good hair density and suitable hair texture. Many different types of hair bangs can be tried for this purpose. The disadvantage of bangs is their daily maintenance, tendency for forehead breakouts, buildup of oil, and difficulty during hot and humid weather.
Baby hairs are another effective way to conceal a large forehead. By framing the face with baby hair, a hairstylist can give the illusion of a fuller and softer hairline and take the attention away from the forehead. Shortcomings include limited coverage, a daily maintenance routine, and not being suitable for people with low hair density.
Fillers (temporal lifting for a subtle lift)
Dermal fillers are not a typical way to achieve forehead reduction. However, filler can improve facial symmetry and balance, which in turn will give the illusion of a more proportionate forehead.
Makeup contouring
Makeup is another effective, albeit temporary, way to achieve the illusion of a smaller forehead. By employing techniques such as forehead contouring, highlighting the lower face, and emphasizing the eyes and brows, one can achieve a forehead reduction non-surgically.
