(female)Hello Dr. Rassman;
Your website indicated that the cost of a one-time hairline lowering surgery ranged between $9,000-$11,000. I am curious as to the price if a balloon expansion is necessary.
Thanks in advance
We don’t list a price for that type of procedure on the NHI site, so I assume you’re talking about a past posting on this site. The cost of the hairline lowering surgery is around $15,000 plus the cost of the balloon expander (usually about $1000). This includes multiple visits per week for balloon inflation with saline until the balloon reaches its final point of inflation. Balloon expanders are rarely needed for lowering the hairline, though.
