21, female & hairline is lacking - forehead lowering or hair transplant? (Photo)

misshmxJul 22, 2023
Hi there, 21 year old female. No history of hair loss. I have always had a high hairline but after years and years of scraping it back into a high ponytail and extensions my hairline is lacking. I also shave my windows peak. I think it's a really weird shape but now grows back stubbly & weak. Should I go do the hairline transplant route or forehead lowering? Thank you!

I have tried lasers for this problem with limited improvement. I would recommend that you find a person who performs medical tattooing and let them tattoo this area. It may need several treatments.

Irregular Trichophytic Forehead Lift with or without Hairline Lowering Should not be too low and should be minimally noticeable. I invented this and have done more than 5000. The photo you show has NO hair growing thru the scar to hide it. Look for a surgeon who can show you a better result.
