I am a female that has always had a big forehead but I am too afraid of permanent shock loss after hairline lowering, so I've started researching hair transplantation and I soon found out that the risk it also exist in this procedure, could anybody tell me which of both procedures is less risky in therms of hair loss? Because if it is the same I think hairline lowering is better for what my goals are, also because I have a lot of skin in my forehead and quite low brows.
