Hair transplant to lower hairline after browlift?

Question

I recently had an endoscopic brow lift and now my hairline has risen and my forehead looks very large and unpleasing. I already had a receding hairline to start so this has made it even worse. Can a hairline transplant to lower the hairline be done to fix this?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Yes, but you need an exam by a doctor to establish a diagnosis (make sure there will be no further hair loss), before considering surgery.  In general, hair transplant surgery works well for what you describe.

Yes, it's possible to get a hair transplant after the browlift.  I have a lot of experience treating and hiding scars in patients who had facial plastic surgery elsewhere and wanted treat their scars.

This is something I have done many times as the forehead gets too wide and the women (usually women) want a lower hair line and the brow lift itself may restrict the hairline lowering surgery. This is a standard procedure that we do almost every day in some form as shown in the photos of 4 women on our website below in the web reference who had it done (none had a brow lift however).

It makes a difference if you are male or female. In women we can restore the hairline with a one stage hairline lowering operation. A male with a prior receding hairline is best treated with hair transplant grafts.

This is one of the complications of an endoscopic brow lift. Transplants can be used but a better technique is the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision procedure that we described many years ago. This approach will provide immediate improve with hair of normal uniform thickness and texture which gives the patient total freedom of hair styling

Today’s new advanced Ultra Refined Follicular Unit hair transplant allows thousands of hair follicles to be placed in one to two sessions with the lateral Microslit grafting technique. This technique requires high-powered microscopes to divide the donor strip into its natural follicular unit. The microscopes are used to dissect and remove excess tissue attached to the hair follicles, therefore eliminating the skin gaps or dead space. Also by using very unique, small and customized needles for each individual client, Hair transplant specialist is able to make the recipient sites in very close proximity to each other in its natural orientation. This unique technique requires more skill, artistry and attention to be performed properly. These very small and minimally invasive incisions enable the surgeon to rebuild the hair line, dense pack the frontal hairline and  give the utmost cosmetic results.
