I have a widows peak and some temporal recession. I read that it can only really be helped with hair transplants but then read that with a scalp expander the hairline can be used to close the widows peak and bring the hairline in vertically. I wouldn't want the centre of the peak lowered (the centre where the hair goes into a peak) but want to bring the sides in to 'close' it and make it round? Can this be achieved ?

Answer: Temples and sides can be addressed with a hair transplant procedure. A hair transplant procedure can narrow
A hair transplant can lower and soften your hairline. It would be in your interest to have a consultation with a doctor and understand your risks and benefits of each surgery. There are issues of scarring, shock hair loss, hairline shape, and many other factors that must be understood.
A forehead reduction surgery can lower the hairline up to 2-2.5 cm.The scar in front of the hairline fades away with time and can be concealed with micrografts.
