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: Hair line lowering Hello, here are some options. 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: Hait Transplantation vs. Hairline Lowering Thank you for your question. Given your male pattern balding, you are a better candidate for grafts, as when you continue to recede, the advancement scar may be too noticeable.Best wishes

Answer: Hair transplant versus hairline lowering A hair transplant may be more beneficial for your hairline lowering concerns. Hair grafting can be performed to lower the hairline without the risk of a hairline scar. Given the progressive nature of hair loss, if your hairline is lowered surgically you risk the scar becoming exposed in the future. Hair transplant would allow for a moderate filling in and lowering of the hairline without this concern.

Answer: Hair Transplant is a better choice As you correctly pointed out, lowering your hairline surgically as opposed to a transplant would carry the risk of scarring in a more invasive surgery. You should consider hairline lowering if you have other reasons to want a brow lift, (eg droopy eyebrows, severe forehead wrinkling etc). Ordinarily, a simple hair transplant would achieve this task with minimal risk of scarring.
