Hair Transplant to fix uneven widows peak since birth. How realistic is it to fix this in my late 20s? (photo)

Question

Ever since I was a kid I've always had a widows peak which is something I grew to like, unfortunately one side of my peak has always been higher than the other. It looks like one side of my head is receding but I've had this my whole life, maybe now that I'm older(27) it is actually receding a bit but I don't think so. Would it be possible to give me a straight hairline and eliminate the peak all together?

Hair transplants are a great option for those seeking to bring their hair line forward. While hair transplants to restore the hair line are used most often by those with a receding hair line, they are also a great option for those with cosmetic or genetic hair line traits they don’t like. Having an even, more forward hair line as opposed to a set-back or receding one makes the forehead appear smaller and gives a more youthful appearance. In order to determine if you are a candidate for hair transplant surgery, you’d need a consult to evaluate your hair thickness, density, and the scalp donor and recipient areas. I encourage you to meet with an experienced hair transplant surgery who specializes in hair lines.

Many men and women have hair transplant surgery to fix uneven hairlines. If it bothers you, it is best to see a doctor for a consultation.

Lucified  thank you for the pictures and questions.  An in person consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action.  A hair transplant can be utilized to fill in the missing partial peak and the surrounding areas to bring down the hair line.  When you lower the hair line, you cannot always achieve comparable growth to the surrounding hair in one sitting.  One other option is to eliminate the peak with laser hair removal.  Make sure you speak with a hair transplant surgeon who offers both services so you can better  gauge what will be best for you.

One of the options you may have to even out the widows peak is to have a hair transplant. Hair grafts may be planted anywhere you may see fit and fill in the areas where there is no hair.
