London26 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I am a female from the UK, i am born with a natural high forehead and want to get it lowered with hair transplant. Can anyone recommend UK based clinics that perform this procedure or know of any patients who had it done?? I am not suffering from hair loss.

Senior Member Balboa Posted November 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2009 if your adament about the U.K the farjos are the only aption. however your female and will probably be best going for Fue to aviod the Strip scar, no clinics in the uk are good enough at FUE at the moment. do some long and hard reaserch do not go with the first doc you see. you will have to travel to get the best outcome, however you may not need to go anyfurther than europe.

Senior Member Maxxy Posted November 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2009 As Balboa said, the Farjos' really are the only clinic in the UK worth considering in my opinion. There is also the BHR Hair Transplant Clinic in Brussels, other than that I'd personally recommend travelling further a field. Edit: I have just checked and the Farjo website is down, however, you can get some info and contact them via this link Farjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London26 Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thank you for the suggestions. I am considering Dr Bijan Feriduni in Belgium, i have seen some photos and the results are impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Maxxy Posted November 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2009 You would be in excellent hands with Dr. Bijan Feriduni, as you would with the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 London26, As a female with a naturally high forehead and no hair loss, I think it's important to consider and research all your options thoroughly before proceeding. While some women consider state of the art hair transplant procedures to lower their hairline, others have undergone female hairline lowering procedures. Both come with a long list of pros and cons but I want you to have all the information before making a decision. For a recent interesting topic on hairline lowering / forehead reduction procedures, click here. As you can see, opinions vary on this procedure, but it may be worth doing some research on. In the UK, I strongly recommend Coalition members Dr. Bessam Farjo and Dr. Nilofer Farjo. Despite Sparky's claim that you should avoid hair transplantation in the UK, the Farjo's have a proven track record of performing state of the art hair transplants with excellent results. Since you mentioned him, Coalition member Dr. Feriduni is also doing excellent work and certainly worth considering. All 3 of these surgeons (amongst several others) have met our high standards for the elite Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. They've also been visited and observed in live surgery by Patrick Hennessey, publisher of the Hair Transplant Network. To view the highlights of these and dozens of other visits to leading hair transplant clinics, click here. If there's anything else I can do to help you, don't hesitate to contact me.

Regular Member Goldilocks Posted November 15, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I am a female and I had a transplant procedure performed in 2007 by a Coalition doctor to lower my hairline a tad, but mostly to fill in my genetic fronto-temporal recessions. I was born that way so I haven't suffered from hairloss as I never had hair there to begin with. If you'd like me to send you a link to my online album, please let me know. I'd be happy to do that for you. (I prefer to share it with individuals as opposed to on a forum. ) Edited May 2, 2010 by Goldilocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Goldilocks, If you've posted your album online already, how come you object to linking to it on the forum? You've been providing a great service to other women considering hair transplant surgery themselves. If you're afraid of being identified, you can always crop the photos so your face isn't seen. I'll be happy to help you with that if you'd like. If you want help, feel free to send me your photos at help@hairtransplantnetwork.com. All the Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted November 17, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have previously helped one female from England with lowering her hairline. For us, a quicker, cheaper, and faster option is to use a trichophytic browlift approach, and instead of raising the brows, we excise forehead skin and advance the hairline down. It is about an hour procedure and the hair is there immediately. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.

Regular Member Goldilocks Posted November 22, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted November 22, 2009 London, I sent you a private message asking you for your email address so I can invite you to view my online album. Bill, I have my reasons for not wanting to post my album on the forums. Maybe in the future, but I'm not yet ready to take that step. I know I know, I can block out my face, but that just doesn't seem to be enough. I guess maybe I'm a little insecure...or paranoid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Goldilocks, No worries at all. But if you are willing, I'd like to see your results at least privately. Feel free to send me a private message or email me at help@hairtransplantnetwork.com. All the Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ventuoguy Posted December 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hello- I think you should look into Sr. Samuel Lam in Dallas Texas. He has videos of female hairline lowering and it's one of his interests. Look at www.hairtx.com thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
