Will hairline lowering surgery affect the results of my hair transplant?

Question

I’m 4 months post op from an fue hair transplant(1500 grafts around temples). I’m interested in a hairline lowering procedure but am worried if the surgery will damage the final results of my hair transplant. Should I wait a full year until undergoing the procedure? Thank you.

Hi there! I think that waiting at least 1 year is a great idea. You don't want to cause any disruption of the temple hair. Have a conversation with your hair transplant surgeon to find the best course of action. Certain hair supplements like Nutrafol may help to prepare your hair for the procedure. Hope that helps!
