QUESTION: Hello, I am 18 and have been in contact with a few doctors who don’t seem interested in my case. I’m not losing my hair, I just have a high hairline naturally – more like a big forehead, and I would like to lower it. Can this be done?? Thank you
ANSWER: Hello, thanks for sending in your question. The doctors you have contacted are likely being cautious, as it is difficult to predict at your young age how, when, and if male pattern baldness will occur. A hair transplant could actually speed up your onset of balding. I would suggest having a miniaturization study done of your scalp. This would allow you to see if the balding process has started. And provide your doctor with a clearer indication of what your future hair loss will look like. Finally, once you have considered all of the risks at hand with the surgery, you could make the decision to undertake the transplant.
