Hairline lowering surgery vs Hair transplant

[JamesHowlett]

What’s the difference and why would you do one or the other?

I’m getting a hair transplant since it’ll allow me to get a horizontally narrower forehead as well. While hairline lowering can only vertically shorten my forehead.

So hairline lowering does nothing for the temples? I saw before and after pics on google that showed the temples being narrower too

Is it basically:
- Tall forehead + thick hair = Lowering
- Tall forehead + thinning hair = Transplant

Does hairline lowering do anything for temples/hairline width?

Could you show it? Most results I’ve seen only vertically shorten the hairline, leaving the temples as is.

That’s the one I saw, aren't the guys temples better?

No, in the first one his hair’s just slicked back revealing his temple while in the second picture his hair isn’t as slicked back so it’s covering his temple.

Basically, yes. I have high thick hairline, I need lowering + a bit of HT to get narrow temples but idk if it'd look unnatural on me tbh

Hairline lowering isnt recommended if you suffer Male pattern baldness or might since it tightens the scalp more
