The Advantages of a Hair Transplant for Hairline Lowering with Hair Thickening Treatment

A gentleman had a high forehead since birth. He wants to know the benefits of a hair transplant and forehead reduction surgery.

Dr. Amiya Prasad, a hair restoration specialist explains that a “pluggy” appearance after a hair transplant is a result of loss of native hairs around the transplanted hair leaving the individual grafts. It is not because the hair transplant was not done properly. In addition, the patient may not have taken medication such as finasteride to try to slow down the hair loss progression. They might have never responded to the drug or had a drug side effect causing the further loss of hair.

Forehead reduction requires an incision that can be camouflaged very effectively when there’s hair. If the hair were to recede, then the incision could be apparent. For younger patients, they have to think of the future and be prepared for the consequences of making a decision. If their family history has lots of thick hair and no one recedes, then the discussion about their options should be a balance of what would happen if for any reason they did have some recession. They have to make a choice between an incision scar or the presence of grafts.

In Dr. Prasad’s practice, he tends to lean towards doing grafts. He uses a method called Hair Regeneration which has a vaccination effect and prevents the progression of hair loss in the area where the grafts are placed. In addition, Hair Regeneration maximizes the benefits of the grafts. During a hair transplant, not all grafts will survive and that’s a limitation considering the donor area is very limited. When he does a transplant, he combines it with Hair Regeneration to preserve existing hair as well as to maximize the survivability of the hair grafts.

If someone wants to lower their hairline, they should be prepared for two surgical procedures in order to achieve the optimum density that will give them the results that they desire. Nature creates a type of density which is fantastic and beautiful. From a surgeon’s perspective, recreating that with one transplant is challenging and it has to be done in a way that is natural and dense. Dr. Prasad has found that it takes two procedures to do that. This gentleman’s next step is to meet and have consultations with doctors who perform both procedures and learn about his options. He should think about the future possibility of hair receding and how it may impact his appearance.
