While it is possible that you won’t advance beyond a Norwood class 3 hairline, I don’t trust doctors who give eyeball opinions for predicting hair loss. There are some good tests (miniaturization mapping and better yet, bulk analysis) that will tell you with some certainty if you are balding. The decision to take drugs like […]

Great question. I assume you are a male. This makes a difference, as females with this problem can safely have a hairline lowering procedure, as they will not lose the hair above that was moved down. A male with active hair loss will most likely lose the lower hairline and be no better off (possibly […]
There are procedures to move your hairline forward which work very well, such as forehead reduction or hairline lowering. There are doctors who specialize in these procedures, but at 15 years old, you need to get the support of your parents on such a decision. There are photos at Dr Aharonov’s site if you’re curious […]
There are 2 techniques for hair transplantation — the strip method (with the linear scar) and FUE (where you are left with small punctuate scars in the donor area). There’s no surgical procedure without some level of scarring, though trying to minimize the scarring is the best we can do. Everyone scars differently, and closure […]
The galeatomy has been around for years. For those of you who do not know, above the skull lies the periosteum (the living membrane above the bone) and then the galea. Above the galea lies the scalp, which is very mobile (try to move your scalp around and you will see just how mobile it […]
You have chosen non-surgical, hormonal treatments for eliminating your male hormones. Dutasteride, although not yet FDA approved for regular male pattern baldness, is studied and believed to be more potent than Propecia (finasteride) for prevention of male pattern baldness. You are right in that using other anti-androgen medications are also important to slow down the […]
Having an unbalanced hairline is not as uncommon of a situation as you might think. Lowering the hairline could be a good option, particularly for women who have a high hairline to start with. This procedure is done by some plastic surgeons and some hair transplant surgeons, though it is not a hair transplant. In […]
Everyone is different. I have transplanted quite a few transgendered people. The main issue is whether or not you have male patterned hair loss. If you do not have male genetic patterned hair loss and your testicles are surgically removed, then you will not bald and the hairline lowering procedure might work well if all […]
The Juri flap has been out of favor for some years now. The inventor has apologized for this surgical procedure, and to me that says a great deal. In the old days (prior to 1992 or so), there were many radical procedures for treating hair loss and most have been abandoned today in favor of […]
A receding hairline after the late 30s is unusual, but it happens. You may take after your father and recede later in life. Using Propecia is one thing that allows you to be more proactive about hair receding, rather than waiting for completion of the hair loss, but you must have a proper diagnosis so […]
Other than hair transplants or possibly a hairline lowering procedure, there is not much that can be offered to you. These types of surgeries will cost possibly around $10,000. I can’t be more specific on pricing averages without seeing you first. Wigs of varying types are often the solution used for many women in your […]
I don’t have any personal Scotland-based recommendations, but I would check the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS) site at ISHRS.org. Use the physician search section to look up doctors in the UK. You can then call and get a direct referral from someone within the United Kingdom.
Hey, I’m 18 years and I want to reduce the height of my forehead. Never had hair loss, Do you guys think I can use a hair transplant to move the hairline to the blue line or I’ll have to do forehead reduction surgery? Absolutely, do not do this because if you develop male patterned […]
Lowering a male hairline is a role for a hair transplant if you are over 25 years of age. I would not seek a hairline advancement surgery (another solution to high hairlines) because male pattern balding (genetic balding) might cause you to lose hair behind the surgery site and expose a scar: https://baldingblog.com/had-a-hair-transplant-at-21-now-at-22-he-has-more-hair-loss/. I would […]
1. Hair densities and thickness of the shafts can change with age. In some very elderly men, we see a condition looking like diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), which produces a see-through appearance of the donor area. Some doctors refer to this as senile alopecia. 2. Nothing that can be done with diet or lifestyle to […]
