Hair Transplants for Hairline Lowering? (photo)

What is better for me, surgery or transplants? Pros and cons of a transplant? I have curly hair, am I a good candidate? How long before they are "bang's/fringe" length? I am trying to ask as many questions as I can before making an appointment. Thank you

FUE Hair Transplant to Improve Hairline

For maximum aesthetic outcome and minimal scarring, I recommend you look into FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant. Your hair does not appear to be so curly that it would make you a poor hair transplant candidate; however, candidacy would need to be assessed in person, with additional tests to determine the cause of your hair loss. For a case like yours, donor hair would likely be taken from the rear scalp/nape of the neck. Post-transplant, this hair would continue to grow at the... more

In this procedure, we take the hair from the sides and the... more

Hairline lowering--transplants or surgery

We invented the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Lowering procedure 35 years ago. This is much less expensive, immediate and more natural than grafts. We have done more than a thousand of these and find patients are much happier with this than grafts which we do as well.

Hairline lowering versus grafts

I am a bit prejudiced towards a surgical hairline lowering procedure for your condition as it is one of the major things I do. Your bangs, if you already have them, will be about an inch lower the day after surgery. The result is essentially immediate. Hair transplants are also a surgical procedure and it might take as many as 3000 grafts to lower the hairline 2.5 cm. The transplants take about 9 months before they are long enough to contribute to your hairstyle. The density of the... more
