I am considering a hairline lowering procedure to reduce my forehead by at least 1.5 inches. What are the chances of a linear hyper tropic scar developing at the suture site? I obviously don't want an obvious scar. Will occlusive dressings like tegaderm help to prevent this? And at what point can I start this? I am African American if that helps. Also for physicians that specialize in this

Answer: Consider hair transplant If scarring is a major concern, you might consider a minimally invasive hair transplant to your forehead. In my office, I use NeoGraft. This is a machine that allows us to harvest individual hair follicle units from a donor area in the back of your head and transplant this hair to your forehead. There is no linear scar and very minimal downtime.

Answer: Scarring in hair line lowering procedure Scarring occurs 100% of the time with a hair line lowering procedure; however, the question more properly asked is will the scarring be visible. This is more an individual consideration on how you heal. If scarring becomes a problem, then a hair transplant in front of the hairline works well to hide the scarring. Alternatively, you can do a hair transplant hair line lowering procedure as shown in the web reference below
