Can Hair Be Transplanted Anywhere on the Body?

Dr. Rassman,

Is it possible to graft hair onto tissue that is not known to be actual “scalp” tissue?

I have a naturally high hairline, which is unflattering enough that I am considering surgical intervention to lower it. I am not certain about the extent to which MPB has raised it even higher, so I don’t really know where forehead ends and scalp begins. Is it possible for hair that is implanted in the “forehead skin” to grow, or does “scalp” provide the only possible growth environment? I’d only want it lowered by an inch or so.

Yes, you can transplant hair into the forehead or even on the end of your nose and it will grow.
