Criteria For Choosing A Hair Transplant Doctor/Clinic? I'd Like a More Youthful Hairline. (photo)

I am a 42 year old male who has a stable but receeded hairline (no changes in the past 8 years). I would like to return / fill-in my hairline in the top corners, perhaps even a small amount front & center. With the primary goal of a uniform, youthful and optimal natural hairline. (Something along the lines of David Boreanaz/David Beckham) How should I go about finding a competent doctor in my region for surgery, what should I ask and what level of transplants grafts should I expect? Thank you

If the only solution for you is to have hair added to the coiners and the front, follicular unit hair transplants could work nicely. You may need more than one session to get the density that could match your existing condition. I would suggest seeing experienced hair transplant surgeons. If you are... more

Choosing a Hair Transplant Doctor

There is much to consider when looking for a hair transplant doctor, starting with the technique you wish to have done. A case like yours would greatly benefit from an FUE procedure of a few hundred grafts, since you have only minimal hairline recession. FUE leaves cosmetically negligible scarring and is ideal for hairline work because of its wider pool of donor hair (i.e. fine nape hairs that blend well with the hairline).
