Question

If an individual has a widow's peak hairline in the shape of a V, can hairline lowering surgery turn one's V-shaped widow's peak into a straight hairline?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

A hair transplant can change the shape of your hairline. The overall success of a hair transplant surgery depends on: (1) artistic and technical skill of your doctor and team (2) communication between you and your doctor to establish a realistic goal.

The presence of the widows peak reflect a recession of the hairline such that it leaves this genetic remnant.  Making it go away is just requires a hair transplant to surround and bury it, something that is frequently done when a hairline is lowered. This is shown in the picture of a woman below that had a widows peak where we lowered the hairline.

With the Irregular Trichophyic Hairline Incision Technique that we described many years ago we can raise the brows if necessary and change the position, asymmetry, and contour of the hairline to meet the needs of each individual patient.
