Hairline Lowering/forehead Reduction for a Male?

Dear ccblue,

Thank you for your post.  I would strongly advise against a hairline incision at this point.  You are only 19 and have may have a receeding hairline in the future.  Look at your family if there is any balding or receeding hair on either your mom's side or father's side of the family.  If all have a full head of hair with no receeding hairline, then you may choose to have hair transplant to fill in your hairline. however, expect it to take 2 + procedures to get you to the density as the rest of your hair.  aboud 30 follicles per square centimeter is the max that can be done in one session, and your normal hair has 70-140.  This doesnt mean that you need 140, but something in between, at least two sessions of 30. 

Best Wishes,

Lowering of a hair line in a male should be done with hair transplants. not with a hairline lowering surgery not a surgical advancement surgery because as hair loss is progressive, if recession occurs after the surgery, a scar becomes apparent.  A male who is over 25 can have a hair transplant because if you do develop hair loss behind the hairline and develop balding behind the corrected hairline, you can get more transplants and still look normal. If you get a hairline advancement surgery you will see a scar. If you have a hair transplant before your balding pattern become evident, then you will be chasing hair transplants for the next decade.
