Hi, I have a large forehead, and at the age of 25 I’m seeing some recession of the corners of the hairline, I’m probably progressing from norwood 1 to norwood 2. I heard that conducting a forehead reduction is risky due to the fact men experience male pattern hairloss, but, it may be appropriate if the doctor can recognize the exact pattern of hairloss, my question is, what would be appropriate, givin my age, and still, fairly strong hairline:Forehead Reduction or hair transplant?
