I'm 18 years old, and all my life have my hair been semi-long, so my forehead have been something I never truly cared about. I have started to grow my hair out long, and it was then it raised attention. I have no history of baldness in my family and my dad and uncle have full heads of hair and they are 60+ years old. However, my forehead is nearly identical with my mother. Both of my brothers 30+ have small foreheads. Is my forehead very high or am I going bald? There is no thinning by the way.

A large forehead can be reduced in two ways. In female patients, the hairline can be lowered using hair transplants or forehead reduction surgery. In male patients, the hairline can be lowered using hair transplants. Both work well, but have their own pros and cons. Be sure to see a hairline...

These bone protuberances are something I fix all the time. However, it would leave a scar on top of your head that would be visible unless you had longer hair.

The hairline can be altered through hair transplant procedures or through a forehead reduction surgery. In some cases, I will combine both techniques in a two-stage approach if needed. If a forehead reduction surgery is chosen, it is not typically performed only on a small area of the hairline,...
