hi dr,
i have a question about hair lines. if you were born with an asymmetrical hairline (one side of your hairline is higher then the other) and in the future your hairline matures, could this be misdiagnosed as androgenetic alopecia due to the unsymmetrical balding? also i have a cowlick in the front of my hair line off center. i was wondering can you place grafts into the cowlick to restore or lower a hairline
If you were born with an asymmetrical hairline and you did not tell your doctor when he/she was examining your hair loss, then this can lead to misdiagnosis. Cowlicks in the frontal hairline can be transplanted, but they are tricky and require a surgeon with great skills.
