Anyone should be prepared for the real possibility that if you lower your hairline with transplants and for one of the many reasons possible, the results are not perfect, you will have to cover those results with a hairpiece that will have to be placed even lower on your forehead to disguise the scars.
You are then stuck with that low hairline for the rest of your life and you won't ever be able to recede it to a more age-appropriate position as you grow older.
As you become middle aged, your sides & temples thin out & recede, but you'd still have the front hairline of a much younger man.

That's going to look weird, whether its a transplanted hairline or a piece.
