Hi, I am a 27 year old male and I have a widow’s peak. I was wondering if there was any way to lower it with out grafts, such as in a hairline lowering procedure. If it is possible, could you please tell me the cost of it(range) and approximately what is the maximum length (inches or cm) that could be lowered. Also what are the success rates of lowering a widow’s peak without grafts as well.
Thank you
Without a hair transplant surgery, the only other alternative is a hairline lowering procedure which can be thought of as a reverse face lift. It can cost anywhere from $7000 to $15,000 depending on the surgeon.
The maximum length you can lower the hairline can be variable, but 1/2 inch to 1 inch is attainable. In women where balding is rare, the procedure is more common. In men who MAY bald, there is great risk if balding kicks in after the hairline is lowered, as the hair behind the hairline may be lost to genetic balding and then you would be back to square one with a scar on your head. The recovery process is shorter (1-2 weeks with instant hair) than a hair transplant procedure (4-8 months to grow hair) and like all surgeries a hairline lowering procedure carries its own set of risks.
