Will lowering my hairline drastically effect my hair (thickness etc). Will the scars on side of head be covered? (photos)

November 18, 2016
Asked By:ANM11 in Los Angeles, CA

I am nervous about my decision to get hairline lowering surgery bc I keep reading reviews about losing hair & having your hair thin. I love my hair it's very thick and long with no extensions etc & I dont want it to be ruined or look different. I also am nervous about the scars on the side of the head because I like to wear my hair up in a pony regularly. I want a smaller forehead bc I do think it takes away from my face but am concerned about hair/scar issues and want to make sure its worth it!
