Can I get a forehead reduction after having a hair transplant?

This is between you and your surgeon, so follow their advice on this. I would suggest my patient hold the isotretinoin (even low dose) prior to an aesthetic procedure, especially forehead reduction given the visibility of the scar.

Thank you for your question about getting a forehead reduction or a hair transplant. As a plastic surgeon and a hair transplant surgeon, I would suggest hair transplantation.
