The Corners of My Hairline Are Receding — Is It Maturation?

Hi. I’m a 20 year old male, soon to be 21. My hairline was fairly straight if I remember correctly, but now I’m taking notice of recessions on the sides of the hairline. The middle part that has not receded is pretty large. What are my odds of this being only hairline maturation? Thanks for your time.

It could be just a mature hairline developing, but I have no way to know that just based on your description. You’ll have to just keep looking at it over time (but try not to obsess about it). You can compare it to the mature hairline photos in this post. If you visited me or another doctor in this field, you’d likely get some help defining the problem you see.
