My hairline is too high and I need help with options

The cost of hair transplant surgery differs from doctor to doctor / from clinic to clinic.  It is best you see different doctors for consultation and varying fees in your area.

Without looking at pictures, its hard to tell.  That being said, it also has to do with the amount of scalp laxity and forehead laxity that you have.  I saw a young patient in yesterday with the same concern, and while they may have benefited from 1.25-1.5cm of lowering, the laxity present simply would not have yielded that in the long term.  Make sure you go to someone who is comfortable with either procedure and there are a variety of different things that need to be discussed prior to choosing one vs the other.  Best of luck.  

I recommend you visit with a clinic either in person or on-line, sharing your photos to address your concerns.
