Hairline reshaping, not lowering. And what is bossing? (photos)

Question

All I can find info on is hairline lowering. I don't think I want my face any shorter, just a smoother outline. Plus, can someone explain forehead bossing to me and if I would benefit from it?

Hair transplant surgery may be an option to reshape your hairline. Hair transplant surgery does not leave a scar on the forehead. It actually can give you a natural and soft hair line as well as rounding of the temple corners. Like all cosmetic surgery, how "natural" this may look depend on the artistry of the surgeon.

The recessions at the corners of your hairline could be filled in with hair transplants. A result can also be done with a variation of the hairline lowering operation wherein the center of the hairline is lowerered minimally by removing a small piece in the center so the lowering is more prominent in the corners. Bossing usually refers to a bulging of the forehead bone at the level of the eyebrows. You appear not to have a problem with this.

This is something we perform routinely on women. Hair transplantation is the way to do this. Special skills are critical to point the hairs properly, as women do not have hair direction as men do in the very frontal part of the hairline when it is properly positioned.  See web reference below for examples of this process,
