Tags: choosing a surgeon, clinic, FUE, hairline, younger

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

FUE Neograft transplantation is the way to go

I would only consider FUE/Neograft procedure in your situation. Judging from the hairstyle that you like deciding on the STRIP procedure would be a big mistake.

And you have plenty of donor hair to advance your hairline. Look for an experienced Neograft doctor in your area

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
