Making the right choice
There are 2 approaches to lower the hairline and reduce the size of the forehead which includes:
- Hair transplant
- Scalp Advancement
The former one is the same as that of a hair transplant procedure which includes transplanting hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another in which the hairline area needs to be relocated.
In the other method, long incisions need to be made in the hairline and the forehead skin portion needs to be removed. Consulting a qualified and skilled surgeon is going to help you choose the best treatment for you.
Hairline lowering with hair transplant
Hair transplantation or hair grafting is a common method for hairline lowering. This option is the best for the people who have thin hair at the hairline or their hairline is not even. Before you choose to get this treatment, it is important to wait till the time hair loss stops. If you have the issue of progressive hair loss then it will ruin the desired outcome of the treatment. If you do not consult the surgeon correctly, then you need to get more than one surgical procedure.
Hair transplantation is the best option for individuals who have large foreheads. However, these people will not have an uneven or thin hairline as they choose to undergo the hair grafting method to add hair on the front of the scalp as it allows them to have a narrower forehead.
Hair transplant – The best option for hairline restoration
During hair restoration, the hair follicles can be transplanted from one part of the scalp to another. The best part of this method is that it does not leave a scar on the scalp even if the hair grafts are transplanted or extracted.
Undergoing this method can help the patients to get the desired and natural-looking hair growth. To see the desired results you need to wait for 10 to 12 months.
Forehead reduction with scalp advancement
The second choice is the surgical method which is known as scalp advancement. During this method, the incision is made along the hairline from temple to temple area. After that, the skin portion is removed which is around 3 to 5 centimeters in width, and the scalp is pulled so that it can be reattached to the remaining forehead skin by using the sutures.
The suitable candidate for this surgery includes females with high hairline along with men and the patient should not have a history of hair loss. Also, the patient should have good elastic skin as it is the most important part of this surgical method. After the surgery, the hairline is lowered and forehead size is reduced. But the problem is that scarring is the problem with this surgery which is not the best site for any person.
