Default High forehead blues

I have to say i find what everyone has to say very interesting and informative.

I have a similar problem in that my forehead is too high for my face. I'm 30 years old and I don't appear to have suffered any hairloss which seems to perplex many hairloss sufferers as to why I would look towards grafts.

If we're to be honest folks it's all aesthetics really isn't it, with its symmetry and harmony at its core?

As well as having a high forehead I have wild curly hair AND a double crown. Believe me, I have even shaved my head (which doesn't suit me btw) so that i wouldn't have to fixate on this problem, but it ruins my looks (If I could pull off that look I would but I can't). So instead I grow it out but that too doesn't do me any favors as my cranium is quite circular which makes it look like my hair is kind've sitting on my head. This too could be avoided with a clever hairstyle but as I said, curly AND a double crown, which requires and obsessive amount of maintenance which I am not willing to do (anymore). I know i've hair and i appreciate it but it feels like coming second in a race.

So, I have been looking into FUE to lower it by 1cm-1.5cm which seems the best option as I would like to keep it short. The hairline lowering is absolutely out of the question especially due to being male and not knowing how my hair will be in the future.
I have been in talks with Transmed (Turkey) who tell me it looks like it could be 2400-2600 grafts approx to achieve this.

Anybody know of Transmed?
Is that amount of grafts too abrasive for FUE?

Any advice it would be much appreciated and please don't hesitate to educate me

If you really want it I suggest you get it. I knew something had to be done with my forehead since the age of 15. I am 29 and I am in the beginning stges of the process. I have been researching this procedure for 5 years now. If your forehed is big at 19 I say get it now cause it won't magically get smaller by 30my only regret is thatI did not get this procedure sooner. Styling options only do so much they are temporary and in my case have cause even more problems. Only you know how you feel and I say go for it :-)
