What would be the best way to reshape my hairline so that it is straight? (photos)

Question

I have always been extremely self conscious of my large forehead especially the sides where it goes even farther up. It's hard to even style my hair where I would be able to hide the receeding sides. I would like to fix this issue of mine in order to feel better about myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

High foreheads/receded hairlines can be fixed with dramatic results.Aesthetically, the issue is one of rebalancing the proportions of your facial thirds (upper/middle and lower)as well as stopping the inevitable progression with advancing age.Your hairline is above the transition from vertical forehead to horizontal scalp.This can be brought down safely depending on your scalp laxity and health.An inch is not uncommon.Patients who are good candidates for this procedure are extremely pleased; it can be "life changing".Hope this helps

The forehead is very high and high hairline .I do not believe a hair transplant would lower the hairline that much. Nor would simple surgery to advance the hairline. May require a tissue expansion of the hair bearing scalp first then advancement of the hair line

Your hairline can be lowered ,reducing the height of your forehead, and reshaping your hairline with the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision technique. This approach will give you a lower hairline with normal uniform thickness of the hair.

You can get a very nice correction with a tissue expanded hairline lowering process. Unless you have an exceptionally flexible scalp or desire minor change, a one stage operation would probably not work for you. Actual exination might result in a different opinion.
