Would I Benefit from Hair Transplantation to Reduce Forehead? (photo)
I always had high forehead, but after health problems I lost more hair due to general anastasia and antibiotics. I'm using Minoxidil now 2% for 3 months and it's getting a little better, but still I would like to do hair transplantation to reduce my forehead later. Do you think I will benefit from it and the results will be natural, without visible scars? How much approximately will it cost in my case? *In the picture attached I drew the line to show how much I would like it to get reduced

Advancing the Overly High Hairline - Hair Grafting and SHA
There are two techniques for advancing the overly high hairline- hair grafting, and the surgical hairline advancement (SHA).
The SHA technique is a 2 hour procedure performed usually under local anesthesia with some oral sedation (but if desired, can be performed under intravenous sedation) that involves making an incision along the hairline and advancing it, lowering it by as much as 1 ½ inches (3.5 cm) or more in a single procedure, removing the excessively high forehead skin, with...

Lowering the hairline with a scar-less hair transplant
Hello, I'm Dr. Gary Hitzig, Dr. Prasad's associate specializing in hair restoration .
First of all, depending on the way you wear your hair and because you have enough volume of hair, you certainly can disguise your high forehead. I see from the way you pull back your hair, you’ve lost the U-shaped hairline. A man has an M-shaped hairline and a female has a U-shaped hairline, but yours goes too high up and curves around which draws attention to it.
I know you’re using Minoxidil...

Hair Transplant for Hairline
From the photos, it appears that a hair transplant would achieve your goals. Follicular unit extraction is the ideal technique for hairline procedures due to the expanded donor hair options (i.e. nape hair) to execute the most natural-looking result. FUE also minimizes scarring. However, a consultation would be necessary to further evaluate your hair loss, the quantity of grafts necessary, and your general health (for example, your prior reaction to anesthesia and medications could pose a...

Hair Transplants for a Woman's Hairline
Hair transplantation would be beneficial to your forehead aesthetics. This would produce the least amount of scarring (donor hair scar in back of scalp; well hidden by hair). Forehead skin/scalp procedure would place a potentially more visible scar at the hair line. Addition, one must consider what this procedure would do to the eyebrow aesthetics. Hair transplant cost vary from surgeon to surgeon and region to region. Range may be from $5000.00 to 12,000.00. I would...

Lower hairline after hair loss.
I would wait at least one year after starting the Minoxidil and would recommend using 5% but only after consultation with a doctor who has some background in hair loss or hair restoration. It should definitely be determined that you are not continuing to lose hair before considering any type of hair or scalp surgery.
If surgery is to be done whether it be transplants or a hairline advancement procedure or a combination of both, you are looking at $7,000 to $15,000 of costs. Noticeable...

Forehead reduction surgery vs. hair transplantation
Yes, you can do either a forehead reduction (also known as a hairline lowering procedure) or a hair transplantation procedure. The forehead reduction procedure has decreased in popularity over the past 5-10 years possibly due to the success of follicular unit transplants (which can give an outstanding, natural appearing result). Doing some online research is your first step. Your next is to schedule an in-person consultation with an experienced hair transplant surgeon so...

Forehead reduction with hair transplant
Yes, you could benefit but you should be seen in person by an MD for an evaluation in person. Also, it is important to look into FUE vs FUT options. Plastic surgery also does forehead reduction as a surgery but the scar may be different.
