DHI hair transplantation to lower the hairline at the age of 27? (Photos)

DHI is just a marketing gimmick.When you look at the web site of ISHRS (international society of hair restoration surgery ) you will see just 2 tech for HT: FUT and FUE. So , organic hair transplant, DHI , percutaneus tecnique, golden punch tecnique, ıce graft FUE tecnique, MICRO, sapphire blades etc are all FUE and there is no difference or superiority between each other. What makes difference on result of hair restoration is surgeon's experience level and accuracy of used FUE technique.

FUE hair transplant can be an option for forehead reduction, correcting receding hair line and asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock. I advice you have a FUE with 1800-2000 grafts; you would achieve the desired hairline in just one session of dense packing hair transplant.

You are a suitable candidate for a hair transplant, given the extent of your hair loss and the quality of your donor area shown in the photographs. If any realistic hair restoration plan is going to work for you, it must also consider your future hair loss, goals, and expectations. I believe 1800-2000 grafts seems a reasonable amount of grafts for your case.Direct Hair Implantation -DHI- is just a name for the use of sharp implanters.

Hello,
It is always better to wait for the rapid hair loss to stop before having a hair transplant. In your case for your hairline, DHI or Sapphire FUE does not make a huge difference as you want to lower your hairline. DHI we use for implanting between existing hair without damaging them. With Sapphire FUE, we create micro channels where there are no hair and then implant into those channels.

Number of grafts depend on the area that needs to be covered. Before you lower your hairline, keep in mind that how it will look in next 10-15 years. With the age hairline recedes, so lower your hairline enough where it will look good for now and later in future. If you lower the hairline too low, it might look good now but will not look natural or decent according to the age later.

There is no age limit for hair transplantation. As long as you have a healthy donor area, you can undergo hair transplantation at any age. When it comes to hair transplantation, there are two major techniques FUE and FUT. By looking at the picture provided by you, FUE or follicle unit extraction seems like the right procedure.
FUE is also one of the best ways to reduce the forehead. In your case, you might need around 18000 to 20000 grafts to get a good result and you should be able to get a denser forehead with just a single session of hair transplantation. Hence, the diagnosis made by your doctor is quite good and you can go ahead with the procedure planned by the surgeon.
Coming back to the DHI part of the treatment, DHI is just a method of implanting the draft into the donor area. There are other ways of implanting the hair such as ice graft technique, sapphire blade technique, golden punch technique, and organic hair transplantation. In the real world, there is no superior technique amongst these and, it only depends on the surgeon and his expertise.
Coming back to the type of hair transplantation, you can also look into the SmartGraft technique, which involves no incision or stitching. The patient will be given local anesthesia and the procedure will be done in no time. With this procedure, one can see the complete result in just 9 months after the treatment.
