Can a doctor lower, make the forehead and face look smaller and hairline rounder? Will it help overall appearance of the face?

Question

I'm asking cuss I'm looking for a doctor to talk to what to do about my weird shaped hairline that has gotten higher and square and not round like I would like it to be. It also seems to make my face look longer and forehead larger as well. My hairline also makes it so that when I put my hair over my ears it looks really bad from how my hairline is shaped and just looks bad overall for my face so I keep it tucked behind my ears and balding when pulled back. I'm female and 20 btw. Thank you

A hair transplant can help lower your hairline and round out the hairline but to understand how it may actually look or to understand realistic expectations, you need to see a doctor in person and have this conversation.A hair transplant can give you a natural and soft hairline as well as rounding of the temple corners.  Like all cosmetic surgery, how "natural" this may look depend on the artistry of the surgeon. Hair transplant surgery limitation is that the results are not immediate and the growth will not be as "full" as a forehead reduction surgery.You can see an example of a hair transplant surgery results in the VIDEO below.

Hello - we can certainly do this. In fact, I do this over 100 times each year typically.    We can adjust the hairline, adjust the forehead shape, contour the bone, move the eyebrows, and do anything required for this usually.I've actually just finished writing a chapter for a medical book on this very topic.Take a look at the video!

A hairline lowering procedure via FUE with help give you a more feminine appearance by rounding the corners.  We can custom design a hairline that compliments your facial features. A hairline should be designed by considering the proportions of the entire face.  When we create a natural hairline our plan is to make the face more proportional and bring balance to the face.

The hairline can be rehaped but you need to see an expert to find out just what it is that you don't like and then address options that may help
