Hairline Lowering, Natural Results?
I have viewed a lot of results of scalp advancements and hairline lowering procedures on the internet and most of them i feel look very un natural, like as if someone has stuck a wig on the persons head. I think i have seen 1 or 2 natural results..Is the reason for this because it is only the centre of the hairline which is lowered producing a straight line and because the temporal/sid regions are not lowered along with this? I hope someone can explain

Hairline brow incision
A hairline brow incision is done to keep the hairline where it is or slightly lower. Because the incision is right at the edge of the hairline, it can sometimes look unnatural. Micro hair grafts can be placed if this is the case.

Open BrowLift
Yes, you are correct. There are some technical pearls to advancing the scalp in an open forehead lift. Staggering the incision so it is not a straight line but somewhat irregular, the cut of the scalp hair to allow for hair growth up and threw the incision, pattern of hair line desired post-operatively, etc. are some of the keys to the appealing result.

A properly executed forehead lift with hair advancement leads a natural result.
And infrequent but aesthetically useful brow lift involves advancing the hairline anteriorly when the vertical height of the forehead is too great. After the scar heals it becomes fairly inconspicuous. The result should be natural and in my experience patients have been very pleased with the procedure.

Hairline Advancement Scar
Your observations on hairline lowering are essentially correct for some but not all patients. The center of the hairline is advanced more than the sides in every hairline procedure. Most of the scars do heal very well but it is impossible to have anything but a near straight line when it heals no matter how irregular the closure pattern is done.

Hairline lowering leads to great results
A hairline that is too high can be very problematic. The hairline lowering procedure leads to beautiful results with minimal to no noticeable scar. The results appear natural and if there is post operative concern about the hairline appearance, hair transplantation can make it appear more natural.
