Hello I was thinking about whether it was possible to have hair replaced in my hairline without seeing scarring. My hairline goes back a bit and makes me feel paranoid. How much would it cost? Thank you, Debbie.
Debbie, It is certainly possible to re-establish a lower hairline with hair transplantation or surgery. Especially for women it is critical to achieve a high density of hair in the hairline since it is not natural for women to have a thinning look in the hairline. Thus if you do hair transplant surgery you will probally need at least two surgical sessions to establish the density and thickness in your new and lower hairline to make it look natural.
Best wishes for achieving the hairline you want.

Hey I'm just wondering how old do u have to be to get A hairline lowering
I'm 17 going on 18 on January
Rosalie,
At your age, you're far too young for any sort of hair restoration procedure. Frankly, you still have plenty of time for your facial shape and hairline to change, and you need to wait before investigating surgery.
I hope this helps!

I'm 13 with a VERY high hairline. I'm absoulutley desperate to lower it. I've tried bangs and nothing works for me. Is there any way at my age I can get this done? And would it make me have hair loss? Also who would you recommend in West Virginia?
-Thanks.
John,
Because of your age, it's essentially impossible to tell how hair loss could affect your native hair at this point. Additionally, it's likely that for a male patient, lowering a hairline via hair transplant surgery is a better option.
Feel free to review our recommended hair transplant surgeons (http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-loss-doctors.asp) for more information.
I hope this helps!

Hello,
I am 18 male and have read about the forehead reduction and hair transplant procedures. I wud like to lower my hairline and will not mind either procedure. The males in my family have good history with very little cases of balding. I would like to know if you know of any good places to get this procedure done in Australia, and if not, which overseas places u recommend? Also would it be okay to shave my head after teh procedure is done and i have recovered?
Hippy Chick,
While I'm uncertain whether or not there are any surgeons performing the hairline lowering procedure in Canada, we do recommend excellent hair transplant surgeons in various regions of Canada who may be able to recommend someone or effectively lower your hairline through follicular unit transplantation: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-loss-doctors-NorthUS.asp
Additionally, you may want to consider contacting Dr. Kabaker regarding a recommendation, consultation, or information about general pricing: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/doctors.asp?DrID=138#page=page-1
Good luck!

Hi,
I'm 24 and always had issues with my big forehead. Would there be a posibility to get it done either in Ottawa, Canada or Montreal, Canada? If yes, at what cost?
Please advise
Josephine,
Since this type of procedure would be more of a plastic/reconstruction case, I'm not sure where to refer you (unless you were interested in another hair transplant procedure, which may help: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-loss-doctors.asp).
You may want to consider obtaining a plastic surgery referral from your primary physician. Good luck!

Hi Jo,
Essentially, there are two ways to effectively lower a hairline or mask a 'high forehead:'
1. To undergo a hairline lowering procedure like the one described in the above post called a forehead reduction.
2. Is to undergo a hair transplant procedure where the hairline is lowered to a more aesthetically pleasing level by removing hair grafts from the back of your scalp and implanting them in front of your scalp to lower the hairline region.
Dr. Sheldon Kabaker (http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/doctors.asp?DrID=138#page=page-1) in California is the surgeon I would recommend if you're interested in forehead reduction, but, because he's further away, if you're interested in hair transplantation, we recommend quite a few excellent surgeons in Canada:
