How a Facial Framing Procedure Can Help You Get Your Confidence Back

When you think of hair restoration, chances are you think of baldness – a solution to gradual or sudden hair loss, getting hair back that has been lost due to one of a variety of hair loss causes.

In recent years, Bosley has also pioneered hair restoration techniques and procedures not just to restore hair that has been lost, but also to flatter and enhance facial features. Facial framing procedures are increasingly popular among women and men who wish to feel more confident in their appearance. We spoke with Dr. Ken Washenik, Chief Medical Officer of Bosley Medical Group, to learn more about facial framing and its benefits.

If you’re interested in learning more about a facial framing or hair transplant procedure, book a free consultation with a Bosley hair restoration expert. They’ll perform a free scalp and hair analysis and answer any hair restoration questions you may have.

What Is Facial Framing?

Dr. Washenik puts facial framing simply: “It’s a cosmetic procedure that can be used to reduce the appearance of a large or too-high forehead.” This can be done through a facial framing hair transplant.

Facial Framing Hair Transplants

Facial framing hair transplants work similarly to traditional hair transplants. A facial framing hair transplant involves extracting healthy hair follicles from the back of the head and transplanting them individually to frame the face, along the top and sides of the hairline. Bosley doctors are experts at creating natural-looking, flattering hairlines, both for individuals who have receding hairlines and for people who simply wish to change the look of the hairline they’ve always had.

Who Is Facial Framing For?

Facial framing is a great option for anyone who’s dissatisfied with their current hairline or forehead size. Dr. Washenik says, “There are a good number of patients who haven’t officially lost a lot of hair from their scalp or around their face, but they feel like their forehead is too high, or too large, or they’d prefer their hair to advance on their head in a way that makes their face look smaller.” Facial framing has become increasingly popular among women.

Facial Framing Case Study: Britany

Britany came into Bosley for a hair transplant, not because she was dealing with significant hair loss, but because she had never been thrilled with the shape of her hairline.

In a YouTube interview, Britany said, “We forget that this is a cosmetic thing and there are other reasons for doing hair transplants besides just hair loss. That’s a really big and important one, but there’s also instances in which you can reduce the size of your forehead, or change the shape of your face. That plays a really big part into how you look – it goes alongside injectables, facelifts, eyebrow restoration, and all of that stuff. You can contour your face with your hair, too!”
