Bill - Seemiller Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Dr. Kabaker, That's a real nice example (and probably the best I've seen) demonstrating your hairline lowering procedure.

Senior Member Sparky Posted January 20, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 20, 2010 Looks like a really nice job, can see some very slight scarring at the front though, will there be any fue going in to cover that?

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted January 20, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted January 20, 2010 Dr, can you explain the advantages of performing this procedure in a female with no history of hair loss compared to a traditional strip procedure (where potential scarring would be in the back of the head, most likely covered up, compared to the hairline)? Nice result too!!

Regular Member Sonia Posted January 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted January 22, 2010 Excellent result Dr. Kabaker. I just wanted to know how long it usually takes for the scar to fade? I read it is harder to surgically lower a hairline if there is a cowlick involved. Can this procedure be done on any person who does not have a family history of thinning/ receding?

Senior Member Dr. Sheldon Kabaker Posted June 5, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2010 The scar take 3-6 months to mature. The scar is usually hidden as downward growing hair actually grows through the scar. A cowlick, when it exists, presents a slight problem as one side of the hairline has its hair growing backward so the scar might be seen. When this condition is noted , I always inform the patient of it. I tell them that if after 6 months the scar on part of the hairline is a concern, they might need a few hundred follicular unit grafts to completely camouflage it. I have only had only 5 patients who actually had grafts done. This proceure can be done on almost anyone who has a high hairline without a history of hair loss or thinning. Those with tight scalps need scalp expansion making it a 2 stage procedure for them. This is not a procedure for those with progressive pattern baldness . I have done this surgery on quite a few African-American women with traction alopecia secondary to use of relaxers and tight hairstyles Dr. Sheldon Kabaker is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
