Hairline Advancement in Cancun

Improve your hairline and regain your confidence

Hairline advancement is a surgical procedure performed to reduce a high forehead or receded hairline. This procedure involves advancing the scalp forward to lower the hairline, achieving a more youthful and balanced appearance.

This procedure is applied to patients with a broad, high, or disproportionate forehead, and basically involves removing a strip of skin approximately 2.25 cm wide from in front of the hairline and repositioning the hairline in a more harmonious and shorter location.

It is important to complete the surgery with a hair transplant, which is performed one to two weeks after the frontal advancement using various techniques depending on the patient’s needs or characteristics. The most common technique, known as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), involves removing a strip of hair from the back of the head and implanting individual hairs with a pencil-like instrument, carefully managing the angle, density, and distribution necessary in the area, typically 800 to 2000 hairs. After the procedure, it is necessary for the patient to avoid wearing hats, sleeping face down, and washing the head until the implantation is considered mature.

The other technique is FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery), where a strip of hair is removed from the back of the scalp, and follicular units of one, two, or three hairs are extracted and grafted into the required area, typically 1500 to 2500 follicular units.
