Female Hairline

Are there any surgical procedures to fix the shape of your hairline? If so, what are the options and how much would it typically cost to get done?

Procedure: Hair Transplant

Having a high hairline in women is not uncommon.. Some women wear bangs, a hat or hairband. An anterior hairline advancement procedure can bring an inch or two of hair bearing skin forward. Tissue expanders can be used to increase the hair bearing skin as well. Hair grafting from the posterior scalp to the anterior non hair bearing area can augment the hair crop in the front. I have done this procedure on a young woman and many older women with brow ptosis and a receding hairline( brow lift). I have several men whose before and after photos(hair replacement) are on the plastic surgery website that have had the advancement procedure. Cost can be under 10000.00. Good luck

The simplest and most effective way to deal with this is the use of individual hair grafts taken from the back of your head with a special machine. This will not leave any scars at all in the donor site or the recipient site. This may require from 300 to 2000 grafts of individual hair follicles depending on the defect. This is done by technicians working for the doctor and the cost could be from $3 to $8 per graft depending on the doctor that you choose. It is not painful and done while you are awake watching TV. That depends if you are a candidate for the procedure. I would simply would not have anything else done unless this is ruled out as a method. I am sure someone uses this method in Atlanta.
