Big foreheads are seen as a sign of beauty in certain cultures, and in others, it is seen as a sign of wisdom. However, for some people, a big forehead can be a source of discontent and insecurity. Ultimately, big foreheads are usually a result of genetics, while some develop a big forehead for other reasons, such as a receding hairline. Even in Hollywood, we sometimes see male stars rocking their big foreheads with confidence. However, there are some celebbrities who reduced the size of their foreheads via different aesthetic procedures. Today, we will be going through the list of male celebs who embraced their natural foreheads and those who opted to get their big foreheads reduced.

✨ Male Celebs Who OWN Their Big Foreheads
Let’s start off with famous men with large foreheads who absolutely embrace their look with style. It only makes sense to start with Ryan Gosling. This Hollywood heart-throb has a long, glowing forehead that perfectly complements his long face and soft features. Chris Hemsworth is another handsome male celebrity who owns his big forehead. Additionally, a celebrity we can’t miss is Will Smith. His big forehead and buzz-cuts have become his signature style.
✨ Male Stars Who MAY Have Gotten Forehead Reduction
Now let’s have a look at all the male celebrities who have gotten procedures to lower their hairline and reduce their forehead size:

Elon Musk
Elon’s hairline transformation is one of the most obvious despite him never coming out and openly accepting whether he has gotten treatments for it. When we look at Elon Musk’s pictures from the time when he established PayPal in the 90s, his hairline looked significantly different from what it does today. It seems from these pictures that he had gone through significant hair loss, especially in the temple areas, where the hairline had recessed significantly. This hair-thinning had increased the length of his forehead as well. You can also see some thinning in the front, but the crown of the hair is largely unaffected and has good hair density.
On the other hand, the Elon we see today has much denser hair with a forehead that has reduced in length as well. His transformation seems to be a result of a hair transplant, the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) method to be precise. The main sign of getting an FUT hair transplant is the long scar it leaves. The scar is a result of taking a long strip of skin from the back of the head (the donor area) and using it to extract individual grafts. Elon has a similar scar that extends from the back of his head to his temples.
Tyga
One of the most successful singers, rappers, and songwriters, Tyga, now rocks a dense and full hairline. However, this was not always the case. His older pictures show a much longer forehead due to a receding hairline. Furthermore, after the hair transplant, we can clearly see that his hairline looks fuller with clean edges and has moved a few inches forward.
Tyga was very transparent about his hair transplant and even named the doctor who performed it. His dense hairline seems more a result of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. The estimated grafts are 2,500–3,000, and in this type of hair transplant method, each graft is extracted individually from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient area.

LeBron James
An icon in the world of basketball, LeBron James’ hairline has gone through a significant transformation. When we analyze his photos from 2014 onward, we can see visible hair thinning in the front of his head. However, in recent years, LeBron James’ hairline looks denser and much sharper than before. While Lebron James has never confirmed or denied it but his restored hairline is a very clear sign of a hair transplant.
While he does have scars on the back of his head, they seem more shapeless, which leads us to believe that they are not hair transplant scars. His full hairline seems to be more a result of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method.
👩⚕️ Is There a Surgical Way to Reduce the Size of the Forehead?
The forehead reduction surgery, also known as hairline-lowering surgery, is a surgical solution to reduce the length of the forehead. In this procedure, the surgeon advances the hairline to make the forehead shorter and balance out the rest of one’s facial features. This surgery is ideal for both men and women and requires a highly skilled surgeon for the patient to get their desired results safely.
Steps of the Forehead Reduction Surgery
The first step is a consultation, during which the surgeon examines the patient’s scalp and hairline. Furthermore, the surgeon also answers any questions the patient might have, examines their facial structure, and educates them on what they can expect from the surgical outcomes.
Before the surgery, the surgeon will administer general anesthesia to put the patient to sleep for the surgery. The surgeon will begin the procedure by making an incision close to the hairline. Now, the surgeon will eliminate a tiny strip of skin depending on the aesthetic needs of the patient and their overall facial structure. And then, the surgeon pulls the hairline lower and brings it forward. Next, the surgeon sutures the incision.
🔴 While the incision for the Forehead Reduction Surgery is a long one, the resulting scar is not. Since the incision is made along the hairline, the resulting scar also gets concealed by the hairline.
👩⚕️ Can Men Opt for the Forehead Reduction Surgery?
Men can choose the Forehead Reduction Surgery to bring their hairline lower to achieve a smaller forehead. In fact, this surgery is ideal for men as it can offer natural results that will also make their features look more sculpted and masculine.
