Am I Suitable For Hairline Lowering Surgery? (photo)

Hairline lowering in young males
If you are not balding and thick hair throughout life is a family trait amongst the males, you might be a good candidate for lowering the hairline. The scar is rarely a problem in my experience.

I would be oh so careful in having surgery outside the country.
