Dear Wbob1,Thank you for submitting your question.  Creating your own hairline is absolutely possible.  An experienced hair restoration surgeon can help you do exactly that.  There are some principles which should be adhered to so that the final look is a very natural one, but in terms of designing the hairline, time should be spent by your hair restoration surgeon to help you come up with the hairline that you desire.  Sometimes I will just hand the grease pencil (what I use to draw the hairline prior to surgery) to the patient and have them draw in what they’d like.  If you find a surgeon who is not flexible with the design of your new hairline, then I would look for a different surgeon.  It’s your hairline, so you should get what you want.  Sometimes patients will ask me to create a hairline that I know will look unnatural, and if that’s the case, I discuss the principles of hairline design with them.  My main concern is that it looks natural.  Exactly where the hairline is or the shape of the hairline is more or less in my patients’ hands.  I hope this information is helpful to you.

You can create your own hair line.  You just need to inform your doctor and your doctor has to be agreeable.  Some doctors may be very accomindating.  Some doctors may not be.

I'm not completely sure that I am answering your question correctly, but when we perform a hairline lowering procedure via a surgical forehead reduction or via hair grafting, the new hairline is drawn in prior to the procedure while you are still awake.  You would then verify that you like the new position and the new shape.  If not, we would change the line until you are happy as long as it is in the acceptable range for what is normal.  Hope this helps.

However, the real question is where you are in the balding process if you are a man. If you are a 40 year old male without balding and want to create a new hairline, this is easy. A hair transplant with a good doctor will allow you to design a hairline and the doctor will build it. I have done this on non-balding men with great success as well as women who did not like their hairlines.
