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
Answer: Hair line lowering Hello,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.

Answer: Hairline lowering If you were a female with no family history of hair loss, you might choose either one. Sin you are a male, you need to consider hairline advancement surgery more carefully. Your hairline is really not that high. you simply have more of a slope on your forehead. I would be very cautious about being too aggressive. You are only 24. Do you have a family history of hair loss? If so, I definitely would not consider an advancement with or without an expander. Even if you don't have a family history, i would be more cautious since you are a male. Males are far more likely to experience androgenic alopecia. The last thing you want is a more advanced degree of hair loss, a very low hairline, and a permanent scar on your hairline that might limit your ability to raise the hairline by relocating grafts later on in life.
