no, scalp reductions are horrible and old.
It's good you came here and asked, but this should prove as lesson to ask about the procedure before asking about the price.
I have had successful graft procedures I'm very happy with, and know the exact prices and told people where to get them, until you read this post and others, you are a prime target to get totally mutilated by a "surgeon."
Scalp reductions are an extremely barbaric procedure, along with strip grafts and scalp flaps. I won't describe them because they make my stomach sick. Anyone here will vouch for this. Worst of all, the are perfectly LEGAL. Every doctor will tell you he/she has the most advanced techniques.
Plastic surgeons either do follicular unit extraction (expensive) or take a strip from the back. Either way, they transplant only individual follicular units of 1-3 hair into tiny slits they poke in your head in a random pattern that looks likes the rest of your hair. It is not dectectable if done right. A good surgeon will charge $3.50 to $5.50 per micro graft, depending where you go and how many you get. Some decent micrograft doctors will do $3.00 flat rate, such as Dr Lehr. I recommend Dr. Keene in Tucson because she uses fantastic magnification on 19 inch monitors. Google both of them and go to their site and educate yourself.
If your brow is 17 cm wide, and you want to lower it 1 cm, that is 17 cm sq. You can only do 30 per sq cm per 6 months. You will need at least 50 to be happy, so 2 procedures and happy in 1.5 years after they fully mature. That's enough time to take my topical advise and regrow your hair for less than the cost of surgery if the loss is recent. Anyway, 17x4x30 = $2000 x two sessions = $4000. And hair transplant docs won't tell you my regimin because they want you to take propecia and keep your hair but not regrow it so you don't need them. For the temples, you might need transplats, though.
It is a good thing that price was enough of a concern for you that you hesitated to do a procedure before coming here and asking questions. If you had money you would be on here crying about how someone mutilated you already. Shopping for the lowest price before you even know what the procedure is. YoungNDumb is sucidal because of what happened to him, and he actually let the Doctor work on him again to "fix" the work. No improvement, just worse.
Avoid mini grafts, slot grafts, bunch grafts, etc, or any place that even offers this for part of the procedure to anyone. I wrote a beautiful post in the surgical hair restoration forum about picking a good FUE Doctor. At the bottom is info you could use. Why do newbies keep putting up posts instead of reading the good replies? And larger grafts tend to "donut", which means the inside hairs don't get blood and die.
