Which procedure is best for me to correct a widow's peak and uneven hairline? (photos)

It is best to consult with a doctor in person if you are considering a cosmetic surgery.  If you want t a pointy widow's peak a hair transplant surgery may be a better option.

The hairline can be lowered his hair transplants. However a better choice in my opinion for most women is a hairline advancement using the Irregular Trichophytic Incision  with possible brow lift if needed. With this procedure you can be totally finished and back in social settings in one week and do not have to wait for several hair transplant procedures or the hair to grow. There is no texture change as occurs with transplants.  See a surgeon who is very familiar with this technique and look at his results. You should not see a visible scar. 

Both are excellent options for lowering your hairline. Traditionally, the high hairline has been addressed by hair transplantation. Hair grafts can look very natural here but may require a number of procedures, depending on the density and the amount of lowering required. Hairline lowering or advancement (also known as forehead reduction) is a great method of reducing the forehead with immediately noticeable results. The ideal patient for the hairline advancement procedure is typically female who is born with a high hairline and no personal or familial history of progressive hair loss.

To select appropriate candidates for this procedure, a thorough examination of the scalp must be performed with a focus on scalp laxity, direction of hair exit, and frontotemporal points and recessions. These key elements are important for selecting appropriate candidates for hairline lowering surgery. Forward-growing hairs at the hairline allow for hair growth through the scar and the highest probability of scar camouflage. Patients with backwards exiting hairs at any point along the hairline (as seen in those with cowlicks) should understand that they might require future hair transplantation to disguise the scar and achieve optimal results. Hair grafting can be performed for individuals who desire coverage of deep temporal recessions or advancement of the downward-facing temple hairs. 

Adequate scalp laxity can be determined by the relative ease of moving the hair-bearing scalp forward and backward and the pinching of forehead skin. For patients with relatively tight scalps, massaging the scalp in a backward-forward movement for a month before the surgery can improve the forward advancement achieved.



In order to determine which procedure is ideal for you, a proper examination by a hair expert is necessary.
