Is my hair transplant hairline too high? (photo)

Question

I don’t know if I feel like it’s too high or after the hair gets long it will look normal just tell me what you guys think thank you

Dana Goldberg, MD · Answer

1. As your hair grows, it will fill in some. 2. It’s better to use the hairs to achieve good density before extending beyond what the donor hairs will actually cover.

Douglas Wu, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for the question. If you just had your transplant done, you will likely have some swelling in the forehead that can alter your final look. I would wait for this to subside before making your determination. If you are unhappy with your hairline at that point, I recommend scheduling a follow-up with your surgeon to see if additional transplantation can be done to adjust your outcome. Good luck to you!

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

A normal hairline is about 8-10 cm or 3-4 inches above the middle of the brow. Yours appears to be in a normal position however there might be room to lower it slightly. I would wait until it is fully grown in about one year and than reevaluate.

Have you just had a transplant done? If so, it seems that you still have a mild swelling on your forehead. It means that it's too early to say if the hairline is too high or not. You may want to wait for two more weeks and talk to your surgeon again.

Fotis Gkaragkounis, · Answer

It appears from your pictures they are taken maybe the day after your procedure. You have some mild swelling over the forehead area and this will distort the look of your hairline. Best to allow this to naturally dissipate and then judge the height and design. The hairline position is normally agreed well in advance. It takes into consideration a number of factors. Mainly your hair loss stage and hair characteristics being able to give you a balanced looking hair coverage.
