Zig-zag hairline established too low. 6 months post-op. (photo)

Question

Hello doctors, Please I need your advise! It’s been now 6 months ago I had a hair transplant in Turkey. It’s about ~3900 grafts. I’m very happy with the out come of the 6 months result, however there is one issue, that the zig-zag hairline style doesn’t look really natural. I believe that all transplanted grafts in that area have grown. Doctor told me to wait till the final result. Is it easy to remove those extra hairs? Is there a risk of scaring? Thank you for your help!

It does take a full 8-12 months to get final results.  Best to follow your surgeon's advice, wait for final results, then return to discuss options.  If the hairline is too low and you don't like it there are options (such as laser hair removal) that can be used.

You can soften the zig zag hairline by building a transition zone of single hair grafts which will blend easily with the existing hairline
