Many women complain of a high forehead (long forehead) or a high hairline. This is the situation where there is a greater than desirable distance from the eyebrows to the hairline. This distance is ideally between 5 and 7 centimeters.

When there is a high hairline, the face can look elongated and/or attention is given to the forehead rather than to the eyes and the rest of the face. Also, as aging occurs and the brows droop, the high forehead (long forehead) or high hairline becomes still more pronounced. Hair stylists recognize this and invariably style the hair with bangs. This is usually effective in framing the face in attractive proportions. In some cases where the hairline is very high, bangs can be ineffective.

Inflations are performed every three to five days during the next four to eight weeks, until the desired amount of stretching has been achieved.
