Is it possible to have a forehead reduction operation after already having a hair transplant?

Question

The hair transplant means the hair is less dense at the hairline, would this mean the scar would not be well hidden? (Female, 26)

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Forehead haight reduction is performed with scar placement along the hairline. Although hair loss is minimal, it can be more visible if hairline is entirely made of hair folicle grafts. Additional hair grafting may be needed in some cases. In person evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in this procedure is recommended. Good luck.

Irregular Trichophytic hairline advancement with or without browlift will NOT leave a noticeable scar since the hair grows thru it! It has natural density without the kinky texture of translucented hair! See actual patients who have had this with the hair pulled back.

Cengizhan Ekizceli, MD · Answer

Yes, it is possible! Many unsatisfied hair transplant patients are coming after for Forehead Reduction surgery and they get the best result. The good quality hairline will be lowered according to your face proportions and transplanted hair will be removed. And it doesn't affect the scar, it`s barely visible with proper aftercare. Thank you so much for your question. Hope it helped!
