Can I lower my widows peak to fill uneven hairline? (photo)

Question

I am insecure about the shape of my hairline. It goes higher at the middle and looks quite unattractive. I have been considering hairline lowering surgery for the specified area and maybe fill in where the hair is thinner at the edge. My concern is it looking abnormal or unusual after the surgery can I just fix that part or will the entire hairline need to be corrected? How much would I pay to fix a smaller area as such? Please help!

The hairline can be altered through hair transplant procedures or through a forehead reduction surgery. In some cases, I will combine both techniques in a two-stage approach if needed. If a forehead reduction surgery is chosen, it is not typically performed only on a small area of the hairline, and will usually require an incision across the entire hairline.Be sure to see an expert who can offer both options, show their own before and after photos, and review the choices in detail.All the best,

You can correct your hairline with a hair grafting transplant. It would be in your interest to have a consultation with a doctor and understand your risks and benefits of the surgery.

The best way to handle this is to put hair to the sides of it thereby lowering the hairline. This is something we do all of the time (see below)
