How to achieve a smoother hairline/ remove cowlick? (photos)

Question

I've done tons of research online, yet nothing seems to address the concern I have. My hairline/ forehead is not very smooth, I cannot do a middle part or any part because my hairline & baby hairs tend to get in the way. Also, my hairline is very box-like and I have a cowlick. I do get my hairline threaded, but it still is not even. I am trying to achieve a smoother hairline (like Selena Gomez/ Kim Kardashian) and a rounder forehead. Is there a procedure that might work?

A very difficult and not-so-common problem we face as plastic surgeons. It would be difficult to redirection your hair without a visible scar. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

It might be possible to remove a small arc of your hairline and stretch the forehead upward.  However, posterior growing hair of the cowlick may not allow for an "invisible" scar. If the hair direction in the center of your hairline grows downward, this forehead advancement may work well for you . You really need to be seen in person.
