Does Forehead Reduction/hairline Lowering Look Natural?

Designdays
I'm considering a forehead reduction, but after researching before and after pictures and reading up on it, I'm not sure anymore. It seems the best candidates are ones with a thick hairline, and my hairline isn't very thick. That and in most of the after pictures I've seen the hairline looks almost plastic, like you can easily tell that it's been lowered. Is it something that changes from doctor to doctor, or do all procedures have this affect? Is a hair transplant a better option for me?
