At Kalos Hair Transplant in Atlanta’s Buckhead district, we help patients reshape not just their hairlines — but how they feel about themselves. For many women in Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and surrounding areas, a high or receding hairline can create a sense of imbalance or self-consciousness. Our forehead reduction surgery, performed by Dr. Benjamin Stong, blends precision surgery with artistry to create results that look and feel natural. A double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with over a decade of experience, Dr. Stong is recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 11 consecutive years and brings a rare combination of aesthetic talent and reconstructive training to every case. At Kalos, we prioritize education, honest guidance, and personalized care — because choosing forehead reduction isn’t just about appearance; it’s about regaining confidence and feeling more at home in your skin.
As a woman, I never thought I would even consider a hair transplant but I noticed I was starting to get a widows peak. Since I pull my hair back a lot, I decided to ask my girlfriend who her husband used to get a hair transplant. He was very happy with the results he got with Dr. Stong. So, I went with Dr. Stong and it turns out more women than I expected get hair transplants. That was reassuring and now I have my hair back to the way it used to be. So pleased. Thank you Dr. Stong
Why Atlanta Women Are Seeking Forehead Reduction Surgery
High foreheads or receding hairlines can be genetic, age-related, or caused by hairstyle-related traction (like tight ponytails or braids). In Atlanta’s vibrant and professional community, many women seek facial procedures that help them feel more confident and refreshed — and forehead reduction is a natural choice for those seeking a softer, more youthful frame to the face.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Georgia ranks among the top 10 states for cosmetic procedures annually, and interest continues to rise in non-traditional areas like hairline correction. At Kalos, we’ve worked with hundreds of women across metro Atlanta to deliver personalized outcomes that respect their natural hair growth, ethnicity, and aesthetic goals.
What Does Forehead Reduction Involve?
Forehead reduction, or hairline lowering, typically involves:
- Surgically moving the hairline forward by 1 to 2 inches
- Balancing the upper third of the face with the mid and lower thirds
- Optional pairing with a brow lift or eyelid lift for cohesive rejuvenation
In cases where a more substantial reduction is desired, we offer scalp advancement techniques and tissue expansion over time. This staged approach ensures the hairline looks natural — never artificial or overly lowered — and accommodates those with tighter scalp mobility
