Regular Member Cowhorns Posted March 6, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2014 I understand there's genetic relationship between the frontalis muscle and the hairline. If you have a high frontalis muscle and subsequently a high forhead, would it be unwise to transplant below the frontalis muscle? At this point you would be transplanting below the highest wrinkle on your forehead. For the purpose of the question, can we assume there's sufficient donor and the rule of thirds would not be breached. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnilsen2 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I know this is an old thread, but can anyone state their opinion on this? I have a high hairline but it is only .6 cm above my highest forehead crease. I know that doctors use this when deciding where to place a hairline. I'm leaning towards a hair transplant but I feel I won't be able to achieve much difference if this ultimately decides as low as I can go. Would a hairline advancement be an option in a situation like this so that I can further my result? Would the creases return after a hairline advancement?

Senior Member Speegs Posted September 17, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think it's a question of naturalism mostly, what will look like nature placed it there? The front of the scalp has loads of blood supply, so I wouldn't think it likely an issue of "safety" as the grafts in the front usually have high survival rates due to the generous amount of blood they get.
