Is the hairline too conservative? (Photos)

caterpillar88Jun 9, 2019

I had a consultation for an FUE hair transplant a couple days ago with a surgeon I like but anticipated the projected hairline to be lower. He wants the hairline to look as natural and insists on using current hairline as a guide. Will the marked line take me back to my pictured (younger self) hairline? I specifically asked if my temples could be filled out more and he said it wouldn’t look natural. Just want to get more opinions before committing.

Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor area (where it was taken). It is best to wait for your donor area hair to grow out before determining if it was overharvested.

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. You will have hair loss after surgery. You may have graft loss after surgery. Not all the grafts will take.

Hair transplant is not about how many grafts you need but understanding your goals and expectations. 1000 grafts may be enough for some but may not be enough for you if your expectations are different. The results also depend on your hair color to skin color contrast, hair texture, hair style,...
