The positive thing about a femail hairline is that when pulled back, the hair always looks thicker.

Also, I assume she is on hormone therapy. Would you if this will help her keep her remaining hair? I am unsure if the hormone therapy in these cases effect DHT.

Dr. Cooley,

Thank you for sharing this very interesting case with the community. This instance is an excellent example of the differences between a male and female hairline. I truthfully hope she's pleased with the results! Nicely done.

Additionally - interesting question Spanker. I'd be curious to hear Dr. Cooley's interpretation as well!

Guys,

Thanks for reporting these issues. It does appear that the images are back although, I'm not sure what happened. I suspect our host may have been doing maintenance on the sites as the images on this topic and other topics that were reported missing are back.

Thanks,

Bill
