Is it possible to have a hair transplant just to lower my hairline. I’m a 28 year old woman and have always had a rather high forehead. It would make life much easier for me if I could just move my hairline down by about an inch. I would love to pull my hair back like other women and not have to constantly wear bangs.
It is not uncommon for a woman to have the appearance of a high forehead due to an above than average hairline location. This high hairline location may have always been the case from a younger age or it could have receded as the patient got older or due to external factors such as medications. For whatever cause, this condition can be quite bothersome and stressfull. It certainly limits hairstyling options while trying to hide it. Medications are of limited use, but modern methods of hairtransplant surgery is the most effective form of treatment.
Assuming there is a sufficient donor hair amount, the desired hairline can be achieved by transplanting naturally occurring follicular units (single hairs in the front). If this is done with enough density and proper design, the new hairline will provide increased styling options even allowing the hair to be pulled back.
Below are two examples where we lowered the hairline and recreated a femminine hairline.

Hello there im a 23 year old male from scotland.Could you tell me how much it would be to have my hairline lowered? Just a rough idea?
Many thanks
Jamie
Answer: It costs about $8,000 (icludes all anesthesia and facility charges) for a hairline lowering procedure. The hairline lowering procedure is like a reverse brow lift and this is often the way women and men get a lower hairline.
A hair transplant could lower the hairline as well. This is the same procedure performed regularly with men. The fees are based on how much hair is moved (price per graft).
