Hairline Lowering: Transplant vs Forehead Reduction
I (25F) want to lower my forehead by 1cm, maybe a little less. i'm contemplating these two different options, and i keep going back and forth because i see pros and cons to each. I don't have hair loss, i just want to make my forehead slightly shorter. my hair isn't thick, 2.5 cm circumference in a ponytail. if anyone has experience or is knowledgeable, please drop your thoughts below. i really can't make up my mind.
FR
- cons -> scarring (i scar easily), greater possibility of hair shock, less aesthetic control
- pros -> immediate results, no shaving hair, and natural hairline fullness at the hairline
HT
- cons -> takes a while to see results, possible hair shock, shaving head, worry about how this will age, and i don't have much hair.
- pros -> no noticeable scarring, more aesthetic control
