Can I reverse some of the grafts to make my hairline look more natural? (Photo)

sel80Jan 22, 2019
I had a FUE transplant in December 2017 and a year on I am not happy with where the hairline sits. It was done at a reputable surgery Clinic in Istanbul Turkey. The hair grew quiet well but doesn’t look natural. Almost too straight. I would like the hairline similar to my old hairline.

Hair transplant is not about how many grafts you need but understanding your goals and expectations. 2000 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, etc.

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). If it all goes to plan the donor hairs will grow in the area it was transplanted.If your donor area ...

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. Most patients experience shedding. You will have hair loss after surgery. You may have graft loss after surgery. Not all the grafts will take. You won't really know until you see results in 6 to 12 months.
