Hello,

Yes, a hair transplant can be an excellent solution for reducing the size of your forehead by bringing your hairline forward. Advancing the hairline by 1–1.5 cm is achievable with proper planning and precise graft placement to ensure a natural appearance. During a consultation, we can assess your hairline, scalp laxity, and donor area to create a personalized plan tailored to your goals. This procedure can help balance your facial proportions and provide the look you’re aiming for.

Thank you for your question regarding the potential of a hair transplant to lower your hairline and reduce the size of your forehead.

Assessment: You are interested in reducing the size of your forehead by lowering your hairline by approximately 1-1.5cm and are considering a hair transplant as a possible solution.

Hair Transplant for Lowering Hairline:

Feasibility:

Hair transplants can be an effective method for lowering the hairline and reducing the appearance of a large forehead. This procedure involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp) to the front hairline.
The success of the procedure depends on factors such as the density and quality of your donor hair, the skill of the surgeon, and your overall hair health.
Procedure Considerations:

During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your hairline, scalp laxity, and donor hair availability. They will also discuss your goals and expectations to ensure they align with what can be realistically achieved.
The surgeon will design a new hairline that suits your facial proportions and looks natural. The placement of the transplanted hair follicles will be planned meticulously to mimic the natural growth pattern.
Results and Expectations:

A hair transplant can provide a permanent solution for lowering the hairline. However, it is important to have realistic expectations regarding the density and appearance of the newly transplanted hair.
The final results typically take several months to become fully visible, as the transplanted hair follicles go through a growth cycle.
Alternative Options:

In some cases, a combination of surgical hairline lowering (also known as a forehead reduction surgery) and a hair transplant might be recommended to achieve the best results.
This combined approach can provide immediate reduction in forehead size with surgical lowering, followed by hair transplantation to refine the hairline and ensure a natural look.
Conclusion: A hair transplant can be an effective way to lower your hairline and reduce the size of your forehead by 1-1.5cm. It is essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or hair transplant surgeon to discuss your goals, evaluate your suitability for the procedure, and develop a personalized treatment plan.

I hope this information helps you make an informed decision. Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance.

Hairline lowering with transplants vs. an Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Advancement..Hair Transplants give kinky hair that doesn’t return to natural texture. You can ask your hairdresser about this. also, it does not allow for any elevation of the brows. The capital ITHA procedure that I invented and have done more than 5000 will lower your hairline as well as raising your brows. Should you want this without any change in the hair texture and minimal scar -because hair grows through the incision so no scar is seen. Make sure you see it experience surgeon for this who can show you many examples of the hairline after with the hair pulled back.

Absolutely yes! Hair transplant can reduce your forehead height 1-1.5 cm for sure. But I think you look very beautiful at the moment already.

FUE hair transplant can be an option for forehead reduction,  correcting  receding hair line and asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock. I advice you have a FUE with 1800-2000 grafts; you would achieve the desired hairline in just one session of dense packing hair transplant.
