Hairline lowering after failed transplant? (Photo)

July 2, 2022
Asked By:Katie012345 in Sydney, AU

20 years ago I had my forehead reduced with a hair transplant. Was not happy with the appearance. Could never tie my hair back. I topped up the transplant with more hair but I'm still unhappy. It's course, snaps easily and doesn't look thick and natural. Is it possible to have my scalp surgically lowered and still get a great result even after transplant? I will the surgeon find all my baby hairs? Can I reuse some of the transplant hairs?

It is impossible to give you meaningful answer without in person evaluation or at least a series of good photos. Generally speaking, reduction of forehead height and limited bone contouring may be achieved in the same surgery. Hope this helps.
