I want a LOWER HAIRLINE but my doctor won't give me the level I want? Could forehead botox to solve it?

Question

I had a FUE surgery done to my hairline hoping that my doctor will lower it to the level I wanted but She refused saying if she does my hairline would move every time I'll raise my eyebrows !! She clearly decided that after she asked me to raise my eyebrows and explained that I had my hairline last time of FUE to the level of last forehead wrinkles showed with raised eyebrows (Frontalis ms. ruined it for me)

Thank you for your question. Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle then can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. Botox can be placed in the frontalis muscle to relax the muscle and reduce the horizontal lines seen when you raise your eyebrows. If hair is placed lower than the natural position the hair line might move every time the eyebrows are raised. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your question and as always, we recommend that you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine what your options are.  In India, you have incredible hair transplant surgeons and by finding one of the derms or plastics who also understand Botox, you may find with some injections in the forehead and in the edge of the HT, you may see the improvements you are looking for.  Best of luck.

I believe that Botox is your answer. If you inject with Botox, your forehead movement will subside and your hair won't move as much. It might require injecting into the hairline depending on how low you go with the hair.

Thank you for
your question Sundus. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Botox is
a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. When Botox is placed in the frontalis muscle in the upper forehead it will relax this muscle and reduce horizontal lines seen when one raises the brows. If hair is placed lower than its natural position the hair line may move each time the brows are raised. Please consult with
a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
