Amending the hairline after hair transplant?

Dear houssam23,Thank you for posting your question. It is possible to make a straight hairline into a more natural one. Hair restoration requires a considerable amount of artistic talent on the part of the surgeon. Very, very few physicians have significant training/schooling in the fine arts, and as a result, there are many transplanted hairlines out there that are too straight, in the wrong place, or simply unnatural in appearance. Repairing your work can be done, but it depends on which method of hair restoration you had, and how long ago the procedure was performed. If you’re not happy with the hairline that the physician placed on your scalp the first time, it’s not so likely that you will be happy with it on a second go-around. I would look for a physician who has dedicated his career and practice to the field of hair restoration surgery, with a proven track record of success in creating natural hairlines. More than one consultation may be necessary. As we say in this field, “the good thing about the results from a hair transplant surgery is that they are permanent. The bad thing about the results from a hair transplant surgery is that they are permanent.” So, consider your options carefully before proceeding. I hope this information is helpful to you.

There is no hair length requirement for having a hair transplant surgery.  It may be possible but you need to see your doctor for a definitive answer.

This is tough but possible. We see this a lot in which patients get hair lines to low and doctors tell the patients what they want to hear and not what they need to hear in fear of loosing the case/sale.  You should talk to a few hair transplant doctors in person about  making this change.

we spent considerate amount of time designing he hair line before the hair transplant as it is what frames the face. If you are unhappy after your hair has grown out, you can see a hair transplant specialist and discuss redesigning your hair line to make look natural. 

It is possible to repair bad artistry and results, but on a case by case basis. I have revised many patients unsatisfactory results from other practices. Please see the ISHRS website for a warning about unethical practices in hair restoration.Amending previous "BAD" hair transplant work is all too common. There has been a recent surge of unsightly results and I believe most commonly due to the automated "FUE" devices that have some unskilled practitioners thinking that this is an easy entry to add more income to their cosmetic practice. I would encourage all of you who are concerned about hair loss to see your family doctor or dermatologist (not part-time hair transplant surgeon) for their recommendation for medical treatment and potential referral for hair transplantation. Do a lot of homework before surgery to reduce regrets. Avoid hair restoration sales people. Please see my link to use as a guide to avoiding a "bad" hair transplant. It also has links to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. 

Repairs of hair transplants is a real art form. I have been doing them for 24 years and built a reputation in this field for that. Each and every person is different and your situation does not sound simple in that you are suggesting that part of your hairline may be too low.  See an expert who had lots of experience ind doing this. After all, you don't want it fixed and then after it grow out, be back in the same place writing such a question in a year from now. 

It is often the case that a higher hairline is more natural than a lower one.  Surgeons can always make it lower!  So if you are reading this and considering a transplant, always opt for higher!In your case, a too-low hairline is often correctable.  If your hair is dark, try adjusting it a tiny bit at a time with laser hair removal.  This may take several sessions, but it will allow you to remove the hair without leaving a scar (which is not possible if I surgically take out the hairs one at a time) and you can tinker with the results as you go.  If you are within the first 9 days of a hair transplant, you can pull some of the grafts out yourself.  Just be sure before you pull that you really don't want them!Good luck!
