Different from a hair transplant. I have a big forehead, not just a receding hairline. I want to get it done to reduce my forehead size

Can a guy get this done?

Yes men can get it done as long as you don't have male pattern baldness. This is from a website that does it:


Side effects from forehead reduction surgery often manifest due to the inexperience of the surgeon. For example, is the hair density of the scalp is relatively low, any stretching of the scalp can further reduce hair density, making the hair appear as if it is thinning.

Obviously it can happen but if the surgeon is good and your hair is dense, you should be fine.

I do have male pattern baldness and also a huge forehead.

How big is the scar that is caused by the surgery? Apparently it's permanent

It goes across your hairline. It's big but you can try to cover it with a hair line transplant. But with a scar, no guarantee the hair will grow thick in that area.

Get opinions from various doctors who do both.
