Ive ALWAYS had a "windows peak" type hairline & it doesnt suit me very well. Im 19 & for the last year Ive been a lot more conscious about my hair & started maintaining it the best I could by using certain oils & shampoos known for helping hair stay thick & healthy. I plan to do this for a long time to prevent any [potential] loss or thinning. I know theres often a recommended older age for hair TRANSPLANT candidates, but hairline LOWERING is different. Can it be done now? Perhaps in 3-5 years?
Answer: Male hairline lowering I do not perform or recommend forehead reduction (hairline advancement) surgery in males due to the risk of hairline recession over time. In my opinion, the male hairline should be lowered using transplants. Even this should be delayed until the mid-20's so that the hairline is stable.All the best,

Answer: Hair line lowering Hello,It is hard to find doctors for forehead lowering since they need to be experts in 2 areas. First of all, doctors need to be experts in facial plastic surgery or plastic surgery to lift up the scalp area and advanced along the forehead. The galea is released during this. A key component is hiding the scar along the border of the scalp. The second component is being an expert in hair transplantation. The hairline is lowered and the scar is camouflaged through hair transplants. Look for a surgeon specializing both plastic surgery of the face and who does hair transplants. Best, Anil Shah

Answer: No For younger men (19 years old) the risk of a forehead reduction surgery is worse than a hair transplant surgery. If you go on to lose more hair as you age, you will be left with a long scar across your forehead.

Answer: 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,

Answer: Hairline lowering for male 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.
