Can I Lower My Naturally High Hairline with Hair Transplant Surgery?

I’ve been considering follicular unit extraction (FUE) as an option to lower a naturally high hairline by maybe 1-1.5cm, would this be my best option.

Yes, hair transplant surgery can be used to lower a naturally high hairline. However, whether or not this is a good idea in your specific case will depend on a number of factors like your age, where your hairline is now, where you want it placed and your potential for future hair loss.

As you may know, we have a finite number of donor hairs to draw from. If your family history indicates that you may experience hair loss in the future, then creating a juvenile hairline now would not be a good idea. You could run out of donor hair for future procedures and be left with an unnatural appearance.

To provide useful feedback we would need to see a photo of your current hairline and details about any existing hair loss and family history of balding.

Your best bet is to consult with one or more recommended hair transplant surgeons.
