I had my hairline lowered way too far by a clinic. It's too straight, has thick hairs, and doesn't round off at temples. Is it possible that if hairs are removed it will be scarred too bad? is laser removal better? And is there a chance I don't have any thin hairs to use around my donor or should there be plenty of smaller ones to use to repair? This surgery happened 1.5 years ago and has changed my life terribly. I use finasteride so haven't lost any hair, my donor area should be healthy.

Answer: Pre treatment setup At my practice we take like 1-2 hours to setup and finalize the hairline. Remember, this hairline will be there forever and you want to make sure that it look natural now, but also in the future. So, I wonder why this should be an issue now if both the clinic and yourselve agreed to this hairline? Maybe you want to eleborate on how this hairline was produced in the first place.

Answer: Hair Transplant repair options Yours is not an easy case, and I've seen many like this before. Lots of these come out of cheap medical tourism surgery centers in Turkey, Iran, India etc. The good news is that it is likely this can be improved significantly. Laser removal will avoid the scarring. FUE removal can be attempted too but the punch size has to be very small to avoid multi-dotted scarring, and thus a trial run might be adviseable. In both cases, this will be a long process, but likely a successful one. Choose a doctor who has experience with repairs and making a hairline look natural. You are aiming for a slightly recessed hairline with very fine single hairs at the edge. Good luck!
