Is there anyway to correct what you feel might be a hairline you are not happy with post FUE hair transplant? 2 wks post op.

Question

Specifically my hairline has come forward to far at the sides of my forehead and my hairline starts to come down across my forehead to early which leads to sides which are to far forward. I know to strengthen a hairline or to go further forward would be easy enough with a second procedure, but is there any way to correct this by removing follicles or something else? I am 2 weeks post op btw and I know really the best thing to do would be to wait and see in 8 months buy I can already tell.

It is very difficult to correct a bad hair line after you had your surgery.  The only way may be to reshape your hairline LOWER than the existing hair line.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

You're correct in that it can be difficult to tell what your hair will look like based on the appearance of fresh grafts, and you need to wait for the hair to grow in.  If the hairline is too far forward and/or the corners are blunted, there are ways to remove the offending follicles such as laser hair removal.

The only thing that you can really do at this stage is wait and see. But also make sure to let your doctor know your concerns and document them. If there is an issue after a year, hopefully they will correct it. There are options to correct your hairline such as another transplant or laser hair removal.

correcting a hairline at 2 weeks is not possible unless you add more grafts to the hairline and that type of decision is a decision between you and your surgeon
