Hairline Lowering Procedure for Men?
I have always had a high forehead which combined witha ralativly narrow face spoils an otherwise very attractive face. wearing a fringe or hat – simulating a lower hairline dramatically increases the balance in my face and makes my face look much more attractive. I have other striking features and work hard on my phsyique, being attractive is important to me and I would like to model in the future. I have been told with a few slight alterations this ambition could be a success!
My hairline starts above the point where my forehead begins to curve back to join my scalp and recedes a lot above my temples.
I am relativly young, 23 and male – with no history of balding anywhere within my family, and feel that even if I were older hair transplants would be unsuitable as I wish to wear my hair short and the thin/unpredictable growth patterns I have seen from transplants is not the look I am looking for.. I am wishing to improve my asthetic not correct a baldness problem, thus the overall result would have to look good and be virtually undetectable.
My question is, have hair line lowering operations (forehead reduction?) being carried out on men, and with what degree of success? How dramatic is the scarring – can it be made undetectable even with short spikey hair? Does this kind of procedure alter the direction of growth of the individual folicles – causing a somewhat ‘wild’ appearence of the hairline?
Most of the information I have been able to gather reagarding this surgery has related to older females, although I have seen that such surgery has been popular with transexuals, and the results here – in younger people – seem to be very positive.
Id appreciate if you could email me any help you can give me!
Thanks

Hairline lowering procedures work as well for men as they do for women. The problem is that 50% of men will experience some form of balding, most in the front of their heads. With a successful hairline lowering procedure, what do you think will happen when the hairline recedes from male patterned genetic hair loss? The answer to this question is that you would bald from the incision (scar is minimal usually) backwards, losing all of the benefits of the hairline lowering procedure. This is especially worrisome for the young man, because the ability to predict hair loss in a 23 year old is difficult, near impossible. You would be taking a risk if you have your hairline lowered now. If, however, you go the transplant route, the look is impressive and totally normal and can be followed with more transplants if balding should occur. One of the reasons that hairline lowering procedures works well in gender changing situations is that the testicles are taken off, so the risks of male genetic hair loss is obviated.
See this previous blog entry for photos of a hairline lowering procedure with transplants in a woman with coarse hair.
I too have always had a high forehead, which recedes above the temples. Otherwise I have attractive facial features. I’ve done some modelling, but have been told my high forehead is limiting how far I can take it.
It makes me very self-concious, and I don’t feel like I can be myself because I’m paranoid of what other people think. I get depressed alot and don’t want to be seen.
I can get away with looking normal with certain hairstyles but I desperately want my hairline to look correct.
Its affecting my life far too much than it should, but the only way I am going to be happy is if something is done to lower it.
There is no evidence of pattern balding in my family, and I would rather take the chance now. If it does eventually fall out I would just shave it all off.
Please give me some advice on what to do. Does hairline lowering surgery leave noticeable scarring?
thanks for any help
As an 18 year old, I have suffered with an extremely large forehead ever since I was little. My whole family (except for my dad) have big foreheads but I have the biggest of them all. My little brother and sister have more regular shaped foreheads while I’m stuck with a huge one. I have been forced to wear hats and grow bangs to hide my forehead ever since I noticed how big it was in middle school. I have a very attractive face, attractive body, but my forehead really hurts my looks.
My father has experienced hair loss around 33-35 and has lost a lot of hair now in his 40’s. However, I really want to just live my life without worrying about my bigger than 5-inch forehead. Please, is there any way a procedure can be done with a very low risk of side affects like when women get a lower hairline? Because I’m starting to save up thousands right now just to lower my hairline.
I think its crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy that you have to have your testicles taken off to prevent balding. lmfao. i shoulda had my balls cut off along time ago. just playing but my head is enormous. i need my head fixed but it will probably cost me alot of doe!!!
