I am comfortable with my hairline at my temples and would like the top part of my hairline to match my temples more closely since right now there's quite a big difference. I measured it and it's about an inch. How many follicles would I need to be transplanted and how much would that cost? Also, if I get the procedure is it inadvisable to wear a fabric headband to cover the transplantation site? I'm assuming the answer will be yes, but I'm unsure. I've heard that hats are okay to wear.

Answer: Hair line Lowering hair lines can take 1000-2000 grafts depending on the size of your follicles. Also, a touch up is often needed for final density increase.

Answer: Female lowering of the hairline There are two types of procedures for lowering a woman’s hairline. One, is a surgical excision of the upper forehead followed by the downward advancement of the hairline up to an inch from where it was prior to the surgery. To accomplish this, the entire scalp from the frontal hairline to the very back of the crown, is lifted up and pulled forward. When this is done by an experienced surgeon, the hairline can often be advanced about 2/3rd – 1 inch if there is enough looseness when this lifting process is done. This procedure is often complete in one surgical session; however, it may not address receded corners of the hairline if the corner recession is significant. A great advantage of this surgical approach is the immediate impact of the procedure on hairline location with healing usually complete in a week or so. Sometimes this procedure produces a scar in front of the hairline, and if this is this is the case, a hair transplant in front of the hairline can address the scar. If there is corner rounding that is not addressed by the surgical lowering, then hair transplants can address this very well. Hair transplants take 7-8 months to fully grow out. The second type of hairline lower procedure is done through hair transplantation. The number of sessions varies by the thickness of the hair. For women with other than fine hair, they might do this in a single session. With finer hair, it often takes two sessions. The time to see the impact of a hairline lowering hair transplant procedure is 7-8 months and if a second session is required, it will take another 7-8 months to wait for full growth. See web-references below for four excellent sets of photos of this process on four women. I would guess that it would take about 1300 grafts to lower your hairline 1 inch.
