hi all I’ll Keep it short. I’ve always had a high hairline and big forehead ever since I was a baby. However, even the slightest recession makes my forehead look that much bigger and it makes me self conscious. I’ve been on the big 3 for 1.5 years now and I’m ready to dish out money for a transplant. The pics uploaded are my currentl hairline and temples and I want tog et them both lowered.

I believe I do qualify since my pattern is shown as a horseshoe pattern and a nw2 pattern, with high hairline.

I can totally understand how you feel about the forehead appearance thing. I wish I had been on the big three when I was at your stage, so you're doing the right thing.
I'd say most ethical surgeons will say you are not a great candidate due to your age, as you could be fighting more battles after the transplant.
Have you been able to maintain, or do you still sense signs of further receding?
Other than the big three, have you considered microneedling? I'd say if you are not managing to stabilise, give that a genuine try for at least 6 months?

I'd say go for it - you deserve a better hairline for your age

You will run into different issues though, lack of density and may need a second Fue so that it blends well into the rest of the hair

Dont say your real age if not no docs are going to do it, say your 28 or so it's not like they do ID checks at the surgery room

Good luck and let us know how it turns out

I had 2 Fue the first one had shitty density but OK shaped hairline so I had another one
Still, the result is never going to have the density of your native hair so set your expectations right it's not like turning the clock back
