I would think that it would depend on how much you hairline was receded. Mine is receded and i have no plans as of now to have that area grafted. IMO it's far less important to have a great hairline but thin all over ,than to leave the hairline as is and go for a fuller look over all

i liked the initial question.. in the early stages of my hair loss i loved the looks of it..

i know couple of ppl who used to shaved the sides off to get that look.. i wish the hair loss had stayed at that intial phase itself..

I guess this is all a matter of personal preference. I actually would prefer a strong hairline with a thinning crown than have thick hair everywhere and a high hairline. This is because of the cosmetic effect of the hairline framing the face. Also, concealers work best in the crown.

I agree with NW4 but finding the right balance is key. By edging up the hairline just a cm can save 1200 grafts in some cases and this allows the person to get an ideal hairline that frames the face and some added density.

thanks for the responses guys! I like the receded look because when I buzz my hair it kinda looks good. My hairline is like NW2ish with diffuse thinning behind.

Man! all you guys have had amazing HT surgeries. Wish I can get the same

8000 grafts!! wouldn't his back side be bald after the surgery?
