Should I go for a Hairline Lowering or Hair Transplant?

There are advantages and disadvantages of any surgical procedure.  It is best to see a doctor for a consultation to find out which type of surgery is best for your particular case. Scarring is one disadvantage of hair line lowering surgery but in most instances it is not significant.  

The ability to lower the hairline surgically relates to your scalp elasticity and the anatomy of your hairline.  The photos from the side view are a bit limited but it does appear that you have a little recession in the temple area.  This would then favor the use of hair grafting to lower your hairline.  

 Hairline advancement without a noticeable scar for a high hairline. Having  created the procedure for treating this problem 35 years ago we feel that the advancement is faster, cheaper, and does not leave a noticeable scar if properly done.  With one procedure the surgery can lower your hairline if there is enough elasticity in your scalp without using a tissue expander. How far the hairline would be lowered would be determined by the elasticity of your scalp. See a very experienced surgeon who does this and look  at his results of the hairline and you should not see a visible scar.  The results are immediate without waiting a year or more for hair to grow and there is no hair texture change as is seen with grafting.
