Forehead Reduction (African American Male)
I have a very high forehead that makes my head look long and was wondering if there is a procedure out there that can reduce it. I heard about hairline transplants and some type of reverse brow lift procedure. Can you tell me what procedures are out there to correct this problem? Also I'm not sure if I'm showing signs of a receeding or if my high forehead just gives the illusion my hairline is receeding. But anyways i wear a size 8 hat so my head is large dont know if that plays a factor.

That way if and when it does recede further back you will not be left with an unsightly result. These procedures need to be done like the surgery is being done for the future. If you just put some hair in front of the current hairline in can look...

Forehead reduction or hairline lowering.
We invented the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline lowering for patients like you IF you will not have any future hair loss. If you are going to have future hair loss then you would need hair transplants or the Fleming-Mayer Flap.
