honestly i have to say that the picture on that link is not the greatest result. living in the 2000s id say that the billy idol look is out.. but thats just my opinion. yes i have been miserable since i had my hairtransplants. it has completely turned my life upside down..id love to have my hairline back to the way it was.. i actually had my hairline lowered close to an inch, i have plenty of hair on my head with no signs of baldness but my hairline was a bit high i thought so i had it lowered..big mistake. i wish i could find a way to remove them.
16inch,

If you don't feel that the patient in the link Mike provided has an excellent head of hair, no wonder you are disappointed in the hair transplant industry. Frankly, your standards are impossible...possibly even for a full head of natural hair before any balding.

If anything, this makes me feel for you even more because there's probably nothing anyone can do for you other than a counselor to help you cope with having unrealistic standards.

All the Best,

Bill

I think that you should consult with doctors from the coalition who specialise in repair work, but if you are not impressed by Evolutions HT then you never will be. His result is undoubtly one of the best there ever has been.

16-inch:
I would definitely not extract the hairs of your hairline because it would cause way too much scarring. If it bothers you that much, I would look into removing them with a laser because it leaves no scarring, and they can actually laser off just the hairs you don't like. Remember that laser only works well with darker pigmented hair. Without seeing pictures, I'd suggest to look into that route.

MiketheDane:

Here are some samples of hairlines I have done. I tried to find some as close to your circumstances as I can. Here are two patients, both at 1 year post op:

Patient 1 had 1500 grafts:











Patient 2 had 1820 grafts:









I would also suggest looking at Osidekid's web blog as well. Osidekid's web blog

16-inch: You need to go to a hair transplant doctor you trust have him show you exactly which hairs to have removed and then go to a laser clinic and have them laser those hairs. It is not possible to do this from a photo because it is 2 dementional, not 3 dementional. If you know which hairs you want removed, you can draw the line yourself and then have them laser that area.

MikeTheDane: Glad I could help.
