What are my options to deal with this? Hairs in widow's peak area grow out sideways (Photo)

Question

Hi so over 2 yrs ago I had a HT around my hairline. Ever since I've been having to shave a few hairs in the very front (widow peak area) because the hairs grow out sideways and they cannot stick up. My doc was suppose to take them out but I moved. Now every doctor says I need to have a 1000 graft minimum surgery or something so feeling stuck. This’ll make my hairline straight too so that's a plus. The pic isn't good because I literally just shaved it but I've got the time to post

Hello and thank you for your question. This boils down to how bad this is bothering you. You could try FUE but this could scar or another transplant to lower your hairline. My advice is to give it some thought and if you want to proceed find a good surgeon. Best of luck to you.

I think you can try taking the concerned hair follicles out by using FUE, which will of course leave you some white dotted scars on the forehead. However, if the scars are quite invisible and you're happy with the result then you can stop it here.
However, if the scars don't look good. You can undergo another hair transplant to lower your hairline just enough to cover the scar and make sure with the surgeon that he/she does the correct hair direction per your request.
