Question:
I am female and I have this area on my hairline that is thinning on both sides by the temples from over processing. Will the hairline lowering procedure help with this problem? I am not experiencing any other balding and my hair is thick everywhere else except for the said areas.
Answer:
If your goal is to restore hair to the localized region in your temple areas and not to lower your entire hairline then I believe that hair transplant surgery is your best option. It is a far less invasive procedure than a hairline lowering procedure.
For more information on surgical hair restoration for women, I recommend reading the following article from our Hair Loss Q&A Blog, “When Surgical Hair Restoration is Appropriate for Women with Hair Loss.
