Can a Hair Transplant Be Used to Create a New Hairline (Not One That Has Receded)?

Yes, it is certainly possible to transplant hair follicles to reconstruct your hairline so that it is lower.

I do so using This can be done with advanced FUE technique using the uGraft 

Hair follicles can be harvested directly from areas of the head. And in cases that require additional donor supplies, body hair follicles can be used. These grafts are then inserted into the forehead region.

It is essential that the doctor knows how to replicate natural looking growth patterns. The hairline is what others people notice since it frames your face. Therefore, the hairs should not be too thick as this will create an abrupt looking effect. The shape of the hairline should also be considered.

Good Morning,Thank you for your question!  If you are interested in reducing the size of your forehead, hair restoration is an option, however, there is a surgery that more specifically targets this concern.  It is called a Hairline Lowering Surgery.  This consists of removing a portion of the forehead skin and moving the scalp forward.  There are pros and cons to each of these surgeries.  With the Forehead Lowering Surgery, you receive immediate results but it takes time for the incision to heal and fade. With FUE Hair Restoration, there is no scarring but it takes time for the hair grafts to grow.I hope this has been helpful!

The hairline can definitely be lowered with hair transplants.  The surgeon should plan the hairline very carefully to ensure that the shape and location are natural and age-appropriate.  The surgeon should also be knowledgeable about graft density and orientation to create a natural hairline.  I recommend seeking out a fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon.
All the best,

Hair lowering through the art of hair transplantation is a very common procedure.  Grafts can be taken from the back of the head using automated FUE (NeoGraft) to avoid a linear scar.  Be sure to seek out a doctor that understands aesthetics.

You can create a brand new hair line with hair transplant surgery.  That is the beauty of cosmetic surgery.  You can have a new hair line that you have always wanted.  It depends of course on your exam and how realistic your goals are.

Yes, that’s the beauty of follicular unit grafting. We can create a lower, natural-looking hairline through this procedure by harvesting hair from the back of your head and placing it in individual units to achieve a less visible forehead. When designing a new hairline, we take into account several factors to deliver the most aesthetically pleasing result including ethnic variations and future aging patterns and we place sentinel hairs – the thin, fine hairs that naturally occur just below the hairline. It definitely sounds like this could be an option for you.
 

There are actually two techniques for advancing the overly high hairline- the most common is hair grafting, the other is the surgical hairline advancement procedure which involves a single stage advancement of the entire hairline through a single fine line incision. The concern when performing these procedures on men is that it may not be advisable to lower the hairline too much, given that as one gets older the hairline may appear too low, and/or with future hair loss there can result a rather unaesthetic appearance. These are issues that can be addressed by an experienced hair surgeon.

Of course, that is often the reason patients are seeking a hair transplant.  Remember that the art of a hair transplant involves creating a new hairline that is natural and will look natural when you are 30, 50 and 70 years old.  For this reason, the hairline should be conservative.  It should start about 7-8 cm above the brows and should extend back with some temporal recession.  A juvenile appearing hairline might look good initially, but will look bizarre over the years.  The density of hair per square inch, the angle as the hair emerges from the skin and the location of the hairline itself are all part of the artistry that factors in to hairline design.  

A hairline can be lowered with a hairline lowering procedure or hair transplantation.  Please check my website for access to my article on hairline lowering.  I also discuss this in my book chapter on hair restoration.  Most other flap procedures have been completely abandoned.

Yes, the hairline can be shaped and/or lowered with hair transplants or with the Fleming-Mayer flap. One should consider the future loss of hair before proceeding.
