Would you recommend hairline lowering with Expander or Transplants? (photos)

Asked By:AshleySchaeffer in Hamburg, DE

I'm a 26 year old male with a high forehead & protruding upper forehead bossing. I'm going for a hairline lowering surgery, combined with burring of the excess bone. Ideally, my hairline would be lowered by 2.5-3cm. I have 1cm of scalp laxity, so a standard hairline lowering procedure would only achieve 0.5-1.5cm of advancement. In order to make up the rest of the advancement with good density, would you recommend a scalp expander (6 weeks) or instead, hair transplants? Thanks in advance
