Hairline lowering surgery or hair transplant? (Photos)

Asked By:rossy2122 in Ireland, IN

I have been trying to make up my mind if I should go for hairline lowering surgery or having a hair transplant to reduce the size of my forehead? I feel that the scarring from hairline lowering will be very noticeable compared to if I have a hair transplant as there is no scarring and I could have a fuller looking head of hair at the front, any suggestions?

Answer: If you have signs of genetic hair loss you would not be a good candidate for forehead reduction surgery.
