Hairline lowering surgery or hair transplant for naturally high forehead? (Photo)

January 31, 2015
Asked By:Gigi_LP in Nashville, TN

I have always had a high forehead that bothers me, particularly in photographs. I am now considering either hairline lowering surgery or a hair transplant. I would prefer surgery but my main concerns are the scar of the hairline lowering surgery, if a hair transplant will look natural, if the hair will in fact "take" (since hair does not naturally grow on my forehead), the ability to manipulate transplanted hairs with keratin treatments and blow dryers, and the number of transplants necessary.
