What is Doodream Forehead Reduction Surgery?

Reduce a wide forehead and correct the hairline at the same time!! Doodream’s forehead reduction surgery reduces the length of the forehead by making fine incisions along the hairline and pulling the scalp downward.

It can make a face that appeared long and large due to a wide forehead look smaller. Because hair roots are preserved at the incision site, hair naturally grows through the scar later on, making it even less noticeable.

Candidates for Forehead Reduction Surgery

✓ Those who are afraid of hair transplantation or have not seen results after surgery

Features of Doodream Forehead Reduction Surgery

✓ Forehead reduction and hairline correction in one procedure

In addition to reducing a wide, long forehead, it can also correct an uneven hairline and M-shaped hairline.

✓ 45° incision that preserves hair roots

 The incision is made at an oblique angle in consideration of the direction of hair growth, helping to avoid damage to the hair roots.

✓ Reduced sensory loss through preservation of the supraorbital nerve

Preserving the supraorbital nerve, which is responsible for scalp sensation, reduces decreased scalp sensation.

✓ Use of bone tunnel fixation 

Because no fixation device is used, the risks of foreign body sensation, palpability, and infection are reduced.

✓ Faster recovery with disinfection and shampooing the day after surgery

Recovery is faster because disinfection, gauze removal, and shampooing are performed the day after surgery.

✓ Hair loss care – Laser treatment

Laser treatment is provided to help prevent scalp hair loss.

✓ Hair loss care – Scalp care spray

In addition to reducing a wide, long forehead, it can also correct an uneven hairline and M-shaped hairline.

FAQ

Q. Is hair transplantation possible even if the donor area at the back of the head has low density?

A. Hair transplantation is possible even if hair density at the back of the head is low. However, compared with individuals with higher density, the number of hairs available for transplantation may be limited, so the resulting density may appear lower. In many cases, the number of transplanted hairs is within the normal range, making surgery sufficiently feasible.

Q. Does strip hair transplantation leave a scar?

A. To safely harvest a large number of healthy follicles, the incised scalp must be sutured after harvesting, and the suture line may remain as a scar. However, it is hidden among the hair and is not easily visible externally.

Q. Do I need to continue taking hair loss medication after transplantation?

A. Transplanted hair is not affected by hormones and is therefore not related to hair loss, but hair loss may continue in the remaining native hair. Over time, even if the transplanted hairs placed between the native hairs do not fall out, the density may appear reduced due to loss of the existing hair from hair loss.

Q. How many hair transplantation procedures are needed?

A. It varies depending on the patient’s condition. Many patients are satisfied with one procedure, but some undergo two to three procedures.

Q. Will transplanted hair not fall out?

A. Yes, but hair loss may progress in areas other than the surgical site, so it is better to combine the procedure with medication therapy.

Q. When will the hair begin to grow normally?

A. Transplanted hair begins to shed from 2 weeks after surgery and may continue shedding until 3 months. It then gradually begins to regrow. It takes 9–10 months to achieve a reasonably satisfactory result.

Q. What are the advantages of non-incisional hair transplantation?

A. Non-incisional hair transplantation leaves almost no wounds, has a faster recovery period, and causes less pain. It also produces natural-looking results, resulting in high satisfaction.
