Scalp Flexability
View the video examples that we encourage those considering hairline lowering to could make and
e-mail that could help us determine whether one is a good candidate for a one stage hairline lowering / forehead reduction.

|
The movie shows what I think is good scalp flexibility on myself and my assistant surgeon.
This would allow us to lower a hairline (if one has one) at least 2 and probably 2.5 cm. |
| Pinch Test - Type 1 |
|

|

|
| Excellent - Scalp / forehead inch test which should allow about 3 cm of shortening of the forehead (lowering of the hairline) |
| Pinch Test - Type 2 |
|
|
|
| Good - Scalp / forehead pinch test for forehead / scalp flexibility. This amount should allow for 2-2.5 cm of shortening of the forehead (lowering of the hairline). |
| Ruler Measurement Test |
|

While pressing down firmly, pull up on a point below hairline as high as possible and set that point of the fingertip at zero |

Push fingertip as far downward as possible and take measurement of the movement.
We like to see 2 cm or more of excursion |
