Forehead Reduction Surgery or Hair Grafting?
Are you considering hairline restoration but unsure whether to opt for hair grafting or forehead reduction / hairline lowering surgery?
Let's dive into the nuances of each procedure to help you make an informed decision.
Hair grafting, a technique where hair follicles are transplanted from the back of the scalp to the front, offers the advantage of creating any desired shape without leaving a scar. However, there are drawbacks to consider. The transplanted hair may differ in density and texture from your natural hair, potentially feeling too thick or coarse in the frontal area.
On the other hand, forehead reduction / hairline lowering surgery, while leaving a scar, utilises existing scalp tissue to lower the hairline. This approach maintains natural density but may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with high hairline recessions and limited scalp laxity.
The key lies in finding a skilled surgeon who can tailor the approach to your specific needs. Some cases may benefit from a hybrid approach, combining hair grafting with forehead reduction / hairline lowering surgery to achieve optimal results.
Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your choice should be based on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Consult with a qualified surgeon to explore your options and determine the best path forward.
