The importance of the facial frame

Our hairline serves as a framework for the upper third of our face. An overly high forehead draws the attention away from the face making eyes and lips less noticeable. By lowering the hairline facial proportions become balanced and the focus subconsciously moves towards the face making its features more vibrant. Just as one admires a masterpiece without consciously noting the shade of its frame, a perfectly proportioned hairline allows the facial features to take center stage.

HALO surgery at a glance

Typically performed under twilight sedation, the surgery involves a meticulously placed, irregular incision that mimics the soft contour of a natural hairline. The hairline is then gently advanced, and the excess forehead segment is removed to achieve ideal facial proportions. While the procedure generally spans 60 to 90 minutes, Greg's philosophy remains the integrity of the tissue and the invisibility of the result over speed. Greg's commitment to master every anatomical nuance of this surgery led to his discovery of a previously unidentified ligament within the scalp—a testament to the academic rigor and ethical responsibility he brings to every surgical case.

Who benefits from HALO surgery

If you have felt restricted by wind, water, or a random camera lens in front of you, HALO surgery offers a permanent sense of aesthetic freedom. It is the definitive choice for those seeking a life-lasting result and natural hair density in a single session—refinements that are often elusive with traditional hair transplantation.
