What is best for me? Forehead Reduction or Hair Transplant? (Photo)

Question

Hello doctors, I did some research and came across Forehead Reduction. But since I want a very minimal change, I am a bit afraid of the forehead going to be too low. My forehead is also a bit assymetrical and I have widow's peaks (coves on the sides of my hairline). The hair is thin in that area. For these reasons maybe hair trans plant would benefit me more..? I can't do both as I can not afford financially. I really like the results of the Forehead Reduction also. What do you think?

Considering your desire for minimal change and concerns about a low hairline, a hair transplant may be a more suitable option for you. However, it’s crucial to consult with a skilled hair transplant surgeon who can evaluate your unique situation and provide personalized recommendations.

Best of luck !

Forehead reduction will provide more advancement then probably hair transplant.  Your forehead is very high.  It is best to be examined to make a final decision between the two techniques.

Best Wishes,

There is no doubt, based on these photos, that lowering your forehead height, would improve overall balance of your face. Incision is placed along the hairline in zig-zag fashion and is barely visible with your skin type. One can expect around 2-3 cm. reduction of forehead. Hope this helps.
