Ruby Forehead Reduction
A micro-incision along the hairline lets the scalp be moved down, reducing a wide forehead and making the face look smaller.
Hairline micro-incision
After an incision along the hairline, the scalp is moved down.
No waiting for growth
Unlike a hair implant, there is no need to wait for hair to grow.
Less scarring burden
Hair that grows in later covers the scar, reducing the burden.

Easing the complex of a wide forehead~
A natural forehead in proportion to your face
A wide forehead can be corrected to suit your facial proportions, creating a natural, refined forehead line.
Endoscope to minimize vessel, nerve, swelling and bruising issues
Surgery with an endoscope reduces damage to blood vessels and nerves, lowering the burden of bleeding (varies from person to person) and minimizing swelling and bruising.
Immediate forehead reduction, quick recovery
Unlike a hair implant, you can see an immediate forehead reduction effect, and quick recovery is possible.
Forehead diagnosis tailored to the golden ratio
The facial golden ratio is 1 to 1 to 0.8 for the upper, middle and lower face. If the upper face is long, we reduce it to balance the proportions.
45-degree incision preserving hair roots
The hairline is incised at a 45-degree angle and sutured delicately to preserve the front hair roots.
45-degree incision and suturing
The hairline is incised at a 45-degree angle and carefully sutured.
Hair root preservation after suturing
The scar is covered by hair and is hard to see.
Forehead reduction surgical process
After deciding the degree of forehead reduction and the incision line, the hairline is incised and the scalp is pulled forward to reduce the forehead. Later, hair grows at the incision site and covers the hairline scar, which can reduce concern.
Before surgery
A state in which the forehead is wide and out of proportion to the face
Hairline incision
A fine incision is made along the front hairline.
Dissection
The scalp area is dissected delicately so that nerves and blood vessels are not damaged.
Moving forward and excising skin
After the scalp is pulled forward, a certain amount of the overlapping skin is excised.
Fixation and suturing
The rear flap is pulled and fixed, and sutured so that no scar remains.
After surgery
A wide forehead becomes narrower and improves toward a balanced forehead.

Hairline and Surgical Method
Frequently asked questions about moving the scalp and the hairline incision approach.
How is it distinguished from a hair implant in consultation?
Moving the scalp through an incision along the hairline is different from a hair implant, where you wait for new hair to grow. The suitable method is discussed after checking your scalp and hair condition.
How is the hairline incision site planned?
The hairline area is incised obliquely and sutured. The actual incision scope and the scarring and recovery pattern vary by person, so they are confirmed at your consultation.
Post-Surgery Precautions
Side effect information: Complications that can generally occur after surgery, such as bleeding, infection and inflammation, may vary in degree from person to person, so caution is needed.
