I have a really big, protruding forehead and a high hairline. Is this possible to fix? (Photo)

NKMM7Jun 24, 2017
Ideally I would want to flatten my forehead as it really protrudes and this is made worse by a high hairline that's receding too. I'd require the forehead flattened, hairline lowered and for a hair transplant too. Is there any help with this. I have zero confidence and always wear the same hairstyle.

You're right, a bone paste or other treatment could fix this possibly.  Another option is to slide in, endoscopically, a small implant that could fix the area.I'd suggest getting a CT scan of your forehead and then sending it to an experienced surgeon.

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

If you have a "big" forehead and would like a treatment options, see a doctor for a proper examination.  Your doctor can give you options such as hair line lowering surgery or hair transplant surgery.

If you always had a big forehead then it probably is not receding.  If you are seeing treatment options it is best to see a doctor for an examination.
