Is Hairline Lowering for Men an Option?
I have a high forehead but I don’t want a hair transplant surgery. I found on the Internet that Dr Gal Aharonov in Beverly Hills California is offering hair line lowering or forehead reduction surgery. His results look impressive and I saw him on the Doctor show. It seems great for women with a high forehead but what are your thoughts on men?
I have seen Dr Aharonov’s patients personally and the results are indeed impressive, but there will always be a fine scar at the hairline if you look close enough. Most of the time, the scars are well hidden and are difficult to pick up. There is also an option to take the extra scalp (from the surgery itself) and use the hairs for a limited hair transplant surgery in front of the scar. This will maximize the aesthetic value of the surgery and softens the hairline.
This sort of procedure is more commonly seen in women (that don’t have that same risk of MPB that men have), but with respect to hairline lowering surgery in men, we must first establish that there is no risk of male pattern hair loss or hair recession.
You can find more on Dr. Aharonov’s site here.
I’ve also seen Dr. Kabaker successfully do hairline lowering on women with traction alopecia at the hairline.
