There are two types of procedures for lowering a woman’s hairline. One, is a surgical excision of the upper forehead followed by the downward advancement of the hairline up to an inch from where it was prior to the surgery. To accomplish this, the entire scalp from the frontal hairline to the very back of […]

Decisions like this are made between the doctor and the patient. As for whether any surgery would look fake, I suppose that depends on the skill of the surgeon. But if your doctor is recommending you not have a procedure, I’d defer to him. If you want a second opinion, I am unable to give […]
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 […]
Everyone is different and there’s no way I can tell you about success or failures without at least an examination. The texture of your hair doesn’t rule you out, though. If you are talking about actually lowering the hairline with a brow-dropping procedure then you need to be evaluated by a surgeon that does these. […]
I have never done a hairline lowering procedure on a man because of the risk of further balding, but there would be no difference in the technique between this procedure on a male or on a female. On Dr. Sheldon Kabaker’s site, he’s got just 2 male patients out of 32 patients shown, likely because […]
You have every right to question the things that are unknown to you. It is a surgery on YOUR body that you will carry for the rest of your life. Different doctors will have their own opinions, as doctors are human and they tend to ‘sell’ what they do best. My point is that there […]
I can’t say for sure either way about the keloids or whether you’re a candidate for surgery, but I do know that Dr. Robert Bernstein in Manhattan would be the person to see in New York. I have worked with him for more than 10 years and we co-authored Hair Loss and Replacement for Dummies.
Your age is typical for hairline lowering procedures, but you need to be examined to determine if your scalp is loose enough to lower it to the degree you wish. Also, your hair should be strong and not in the process of thinning for a good result. Alternatively, hair transplants work well to accomplish a […]
Any surgery like you describe (since it is stressful) could kick-start hair loss in men. With that being said, I generally recommend that the hairline lowering procedure (where a piece of forehead is removed and the hairline is brought down) is not a procedure for men. On the remote possibility that there is late onset […]
For men who can continue to bald as they age, hair transplantation is a better solution than a hairline lowering procedure to reduce the forehead size (its like a reverse brow lift). If the balding continues after a hairline lowering procedure, the scar will become evident and a transplant sooner or later will be needed. […]
Hairline lowering procedures should only be done on women or on men who do not contain the balding genes. That means that men wanting this surgical option should be genetically tested first, perhaps using something like HairDX. For women who do not usually lose hair (as they do not have patterned baldness), the hairline lowering […]
We don’t list a price for that type of procedure on the NHI site, so I assume you’re talking about a past posting on this site. The cost of the hairline lowering surgery is around $15,000 plus the cost of the balloon expander (usually about $1000). This includes multiple visits per week for balloon inflation […]
It may be true. Many brow lifts (just the reverse of hairline lowering) will stretch back. As we get older, the skin loosens and stretch-back may occur to some degree.
Hair can be relaxed prior to a hair transplant procedure. A hair transplant is your own naturally growing hair, just moved from one place to another. You can perm, color, or relax transplanted hair just as you would your normal hair. You should wait about two to four weeks to relax your existing hair after […]
The amount of lowering is about an inch, depending on the looseness of your scalp. A hairline lowering procedure is similar to a brow lift, excepting instead of pulling the scalp higher, it is lowered. Recovery is very fast and within a week. You should be able to have your hair styled, but there are […]
