What are my least invasive options to raise a hairline?

July 13, 2016
Asked By:godspeed50 in Nashville, TN

I don't want to add any big scars. I had a hair transplant. The corners are appropriately recessed but the center 3rd of my hair would look more natural if it were higher. Especially if my hair thins further. I have very elastic skin and can push it higher easily over a cm by using my finger and lifting my hairline. What are my surgical options that do not include using fue to remove grafts or laser/electrolysis or a large cut behind my hairline? I'm in my late 30s.

Answer: It is difficult to remove or undo a bad hair transplant. You may consider electrolysis but you would need to see a doctor
