Is it possible to create a more rounded hairline through a forehead reduction?

nlm0062
I have a very square hairline along with a large forehead. I have heard that a forehead reduction can lower the hairline but that hair transplants would be needed as well to round the hairline out. Is it possible to round out the hairline with just a forehead reduction (by taking the forehead down/in more on the sides)?
