The forehead is an important part of the body

that plays a major role in a person’s impression.

Depending on the size and line of the forehead,

it can leave a variety of impressions.

A bumpy forehead can give the feeling that

even with neat styling, something still looks

unfinished, and a wide forehead can make the

face seem larger than it really is, even if the

face itself is small. Many people think that

correcting the size and shape of the face is

a matter of bone-cutting surgery, but in fact,

even neatly correcting only the hairline can

change the face shape without surgery.

Recently, not only hair loss patients but also

women with a wide forehead or an unshaped

hairline have been visiting our clinic often.

Many people are receiving hair loss treatment

together with hairline correction, so today I

would like to talk about hairline correction.

There are cases where the forehead becomes

wider due to hair loss, and cases where it is

naturally wide. Because the hairline greatly

affects a person’s impression, many people

are receiving hairline correction surgery and

mini hairline correction.

The forehead that determines a person’s impression

Hairline correction is sought not only by hair

loss patients but also by people with a wide

forehead or an unshaped hairline. Since the

forehead is located in the center of the face,

its shape, width, and position can completely

change a person’s impression.

Women with a wide forehead that does not

look attractive often wear bangs to cover it,

but when the weather gets hot, the bangs can

lose volume due to sweat and may cause skin

inflammation, which can lead to acne.

On the other hand, a style with the bangs

pulled up and the hair neatly tied back gives

the image of a confident and self-assured

career woman.

Therefore, it is the hairstyle most preferred by

job seekers and one of the hairstyles many

women dream of.

Types of hairlines

Wide, angular forehead: This refers to a state

where the forehead is wide and formed in an

angular shape, similar to the M-shaped

hairline on a man’s forehead. It can give a

masculine image, so hairline correction surgery

is often performed.

M-shaped forehead: The forehead is not wide,

but the hairline has an M shape like a man’s,

which can give a masculine impression.

Some women also worry about hair loss due to

the M-shaped forehead, but compared to men,

women rarely experience hair loss in an M shape,

so there is usually no need to worry too much.

Wide, round forehead: This is a forehead that

is naturally wide, and if the bangs are pulled up,

the face may look longer and larger,

potentially giving a rough impression and the

undesirable effect of looking older than one’s

actual age.

Monkey forehead: The monkey hairline refers to

a rounded circular shape with an appropriate

forehead width and a beautiful hairline.

It is the hairline many women seek, and it is

the method most commonly applied in forehead

line correction procedures.

Hair loss treatment methods

M-shaped hair loss is a type of hair loss in

which the hairline gradually recedes into an

M shape, causing the forehead to become wider.

If treated early, treatment can help prevent the

hairline from receding further and make the hair

look fuller without a hair transplant.

After visiting the clinic and checking the

condition, medications such as finasteride,

dutasteride, and minoxidil are used to suppress

the progression of hair loss, and follicle

injections that directly inject ingredients

helpful for hair growth into the affected area

can be combined to suppress hair loss, strengthen

the remaining hair, and help new hair grow.

This can support thinner hair in growing thicker

and stronger, leading to good results when these

treatments are used together.

In addition, Lim Eiseok Theme Dermatology Clinic

offers treatment options suited to early M-shaped

hair loss correction after checking the patient’s

hair loss progression, including Hair Cell,

which helps prevent hair loss and improve hair

thinning; scalp regeneration laser, which helps

improve scalp damage and supply nutrients to the

hair roots; scalp Botox, which suppresses hair

loss and promotes hair growth; and the ReActiva

hair loss procedure, which helps create fuller

hair with just one treatment.

Female hairline correction surgery

What Are the Methods for Hairline Correction? image 6

Female hairline correction is customized after

carefully examining the customer’s forehead

shape and condition.

Hairline hair transplantation, performed as

hairline filling, is more expensive than the

price of hairline hair thickening procedures or

semi-permanent hairline procedures, but it is

characterized by a natural look that feels like

it is your own.

"What is the female hairline correction method

for those worried about a wide forehead?"

For a wide forehead hairline, hair transplant

surgery can be considered as a hairline

correction method.

It involves transplanting hair from the back of

the head, which generally has more hair and is

less likely to experience hair loss, to the

forehead line. The effect of the hairline

procedure is not only to narrow the forehead,

but also to make the face look smaller and

restore facial balance.

It used to be a procedure mostly received by

people with a naturally wide forehead, but

recently it has become the preferred female

hairline style for female university students

preparing to get jobs in service industries such

as hotel staff and flight attendants.

"What is the hairline correction method for

those worried about an M-shaped or angular

forehead?"

If the forehead is not wide but has an M-shaped

or angular line, a natural-looking hairline can

be created through hair removal, and if the M

shape or angular shape is wide, hair transplant

surgery can be performed together with hair

removal.

If the upper part of the forehead is angular,

hair can be transplanted to reduce the size of

the forehead while creating a rounded hairline.

If the hair on the sides of the forehead has

receded backward, the forehead line can be lowered

and the hairline can be neatened to create a more

attractive forehead. An M-shaped forehead can

have the deeply recessed hairline filled in with

a diagonal zigzag shape, or it can be narrowed

by hair removal to the point where slicked-back

styles become possible, allowing a smaller-looking

face effect. This is a female hairline style that

can create that effect.

Male hairline correction surgery

"A masculine straight-line hairline"

If you are concerned about M-shaped hair loss

or a bumpy hairline, the hairline can be corrected

into a straight shape to create a masculine image

and a neat impression. In the case of M-shaped

hair loss, the receded sides of the forehead are

filled in with hair taken from the back of the

head, making the face look smaller and tidier,

and it has a more natural appearance than a male

hairline tattoo.

After male hairline correction, you can try a

variety of hairstyles that were previously hard

to style, such as pomade styles and rounded

styles, so the straight male forehead line has

become a popular choice recently.

"A rounded hairline that gives a soft impression"

If you do not want a change toward a masculine

image, the hairline can be corrected into a

rounded shape that gives a soft and kind impression.

After designing a hairline that suits each patient,

hair is harvested from the back of the head,

bumpy hairlines are tidied up, and the empty areas

are neatly filled in.

Unlike a masculine straight line, it can give a

softer impression, so it is recommended for those

who prefer a kind-looking image.

Without bone-cutting surgery, the line can be

neatened, the face can look smaller, and the eyes,

nose, and mouth draw more attention, which also

creates a facial contour correction effect.

Hairline hair transplantation

What Are the Methods for Hairline Correction? image 8

Hairline hair transplantation, which has almost

no side effects and creates a natural hairline

correction, is performed using one of two methods:

hairline incision method or hairline non-incision

method, depending on which is suitable for the

patient. If a large amount of hair needs to be

placed in the surgical area, the incision method

is used; if only a small amount of hair

transplantation, around 2,000 grafts, is needed,

the non-incision hairline method can be chosen.

The price of hair thickening procedures may be

somewhat higher than the cost of hairline tattoos

or semi-permanent hairline procedures, but since

it is a surgery that transplants one’s own hair,

it has the same hair texture, growth pattern, and

growth cycle as the existing hair. Therefore, after

the grafts take root, it looks very natural, and

because the patient’s own follicle cells take root

and grow again, there are almost no side effects.

Gangnam hairline correction hair transplantation

is all about delicately placing fine, medium, and

thick hairs to create a natural and attractive

bang hairline suited to the hairline.

Lim Eiseok Theme Dermatology Clinic performs the

procedure with skilled staff who can separate

follicles without damaging them, and with medical

staff focused on hair transplantation, making it a

hairline clinic capable of hairline transplantation

that is natural and maximizes graft survival,

which is one of the procedures with high patient

satisfaction.

Precautions for hairline correction surgery

What Are the Methods for Hairline Correction? image 9

Compared with the overall facial proportions,

some people have a somewhat wide forehead or

want hairline correction for cosmetic purposes.

For hairline correction, it is recommended to

proceed after carefully examining the individual

forehead condition and shape. Among the patients

who visit our clinic, there are people who ask

to have it filled in completely simply because

their forehead is wide. While this feeling is

understandable, in the case of the hairline, it

may naturally recede as you get older, and hairline

revision surgery may become necessary. So rather

than filling it in excessively, a natural procedure

that considers how it will look 10 years later is

important.

Today, we talked about the types of hairlines and

correction methods.

The forehead is also a place that symbolizes wealth

and good fortune in physiognomy, and there are

even stories that many successful people have a

wide forehead and a beautiful hairline. However,

many young women feel stressed and embarrassed

because of a wide forehead and often cover it.

In severe cases, their confidence in their appearance

can decline, and even their self-esteem can drop,

making it difficult for them to carry on normal

social life.

To help these people regain their confidence,

Lim Eiseok Theme Dermatology Clinic presents a

beautiful forehead through precise hairline

correction surgery. In particular, hairline

correction is performed strand by strand, so

patient-specific customized treatment based on

extensive experience is important, and the hairline

must be designed while anticipating changes due to

physical aging 10 to 20 years from now, not just

for the present.

As the clinic marks its 25th anniversary, it has

performed hairline correction surgeries for a wide

range of types with abundant clinical experience,

and based on that experience, it provides

individualized treatment for each patient. It also

provides intensive care to prevent various side

effects and aftereffects that may occur after the

procedure.

If you are now feeling stressed because of an

unattractive hairline and keep wearing bangs,

Gangnam hairline correction

Lim Eiseok Theme Dermatology Clinic will help you

regain your confidence and self-esteem.
