Which one suits a high forehead?

Forehead reduction shortens the forehead; a forehead lift raises lowered brows. The surgeon decides at the examination which one fits.

Brow and forehead lift, forehead reduction

A forehead lift raises a lowered forehead and brows through small incisions inside the hairline, using an endoscope or an open approach. Forehead reduction shortens a high forehead by removing skin along the hairline. AVANT lists both.
