Surgical hair transplant and hair replacement procedures

As you have stated that you have a broad forehead since childhood, unfortunately little can be done about it. This is probably a feature that you have inherited from your parents. Sadly it is not possible to grow hair in an area that previously never had it. However there are various hairstyles that you could try out, they are specially designed for people with broad foreheads. For example, you could consider getting bangs (fringe); this will help in covering a part of your forehead, giving it a smaller appearance. Another alternative remedy would be to go in for hair replacement or hair transplant surgery, but this would be a more expensive option.  This will help in reducing the size of the forehead and in turn will boost your self-confidence. But please bear in mind that the results may not necessarily live up to your expectations. Before you take the decision of getting surgery done, think very carefully about what you choose to achieve and then discuss your expectations with a hair transplant surgeon.

Remember that all types of hair replacement techniques involve the use of your existing hair. As the name itself suggests, it simply involves moving a strand of hair from one location and placing it in another. The basic aim of this surgery is to use already existing hair in the most efficient manner possible. You are considered to be a good candidate for this technique you satisfy any of the following: your hair loss or scanty growth is on account of hereditary factors i.e. it has been inherited from your parents, you have suffered from burns or trauma causing you to lose hair and lastly there is healthy hair that is growing on the side and back of your head.

Surgical hair transplant or replacement procedures, basically involve taking hair from areas where one has it and then surgically moving the hair to an area where it is absent. Thus, in order to carry out this treatment it is important that one has a healthy growth of hair on the sides as well as the back of the head. Areas, from which the hair is taken, such as the back of the head, are referred to as donor areas. It is important to note that your hair texture, color, degree of curliness or waviness could all affect the final result. Before you go in for this treatment it is important to get extensive research done on surgeons, side effects and possible outcomes of the treatment.
