Question:
I am a 21 year old black male born with a high hairline and it has a really negative impact on my social life. I have not suffered from hair loss as far as i can tell. Is it possible to lower my hair line? If yes, how much can it be lowered?
Answer:
While the short answer to your question is, “yes”, there are
many factors to consider. Prior to operating on you, an ethical surgeon will
want to determine your potential for future hair loss. While you may not be
exhibiting the signs of male pattern balding yet, you are still very young.
If
you are a candidate, your physician will help you determine a reasonable design
for your new hairline, taking into account your hair and scalp characteristics
among other things.
There are two methods to lowering a hairline. One is through
a standard hair
transplant procedure and the other is known as a hairline
lowering procedure. The hairline lowering procedure is typically reserved
for female patients but may be performed on males in certain situations.
If you are interested in hair
transplant surgery, I recommend that you consult our interactive
