Male, 26 years old. Should I get hairline lowering surgery + FUE ? (Photo)

YoshiiJun 8, 2020
Hello, I want a smaller forehead and hairline lowering surgery seems to be very interesting. I'm taking dutasteride 0,5 everyday because I have male pattern hair loss (my father is bald norwood 7). After the hairline surgery, I intend to recover the scar with FUE. What do you think of my strategy ? Thank you.

I have developed a simple procedure that allows the removal of forehead osteomas under local anesthesia. I make a small incision behind the hairline then use a rhinoplasty rasp ( same as a file) to remove it by feel. It takes about 15 minutes. Some surgeons use an endoscope and a drill to do...

I'm not aware of any non-surgical ways to lower a hairline. We can lower hairlines with forehead reduction surgery or with hair transplants. Forehead reduction tends to be the better option for most patients in my experience.Best,
