Asymmetrical or Symmetrical hairlines?
Melvin- Admin replied to NikosHair's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
A good surgeon understands that hairlines must be proportional to your face. It must flow with your proportions, no one’s face is perfectly symmetrical. Thus, the hairline cannot be perfectly symmetrical. There are macro and micro-irregularities that make a hairline appear natural, it’s crucial. To use Brad Pitt as an example, you can see his hairline has nuances, areas that go up and down, it’s not a straight symmetrical line, the shape is not linear. Hairlines are never straight or linear. Conversely, here’s a straight linear hair transplant. Yes, the temple points do add to the artificial appearance, but the lack of macro and micro irregularities makes it look like a straight wall of hair. It doesn’t look natural, and is never what patients or surgeons should strive for. -
I think your hair looks great. I do see one side of the temple’s slightly thinner. Let’s see how it progresses. If anything it will be a very minor touch up on that one side.

Asymmetrical or Symmetrical hairlines?

You can clearly see the asymmetry, the left side is higher than the right. -
Asymmetrical or Symmetrical hairlines?

The asymmetry is very subtle, but it’s there. Take a closer look, in nature, that’s how hairlines appear. Even someone like Brad Pitt has asymmetry. -

Perfect symmetry being the most attractive is a fallacy. The nuances in a person’s features is what makes people attractive in my opinion. Even when they do perfect symmetry on attractive people their normal facial balance, which is asymmetrical looks the most attractive. That’s why facial plastic surgery that tries to look perfect always looks odd and artificial. Definitely not attractive in my book. A perfect example is Madonna, she was very attractive, she had some asymmetry, not a lot but some. Now she’s perfectly symmetrical, but she looks like a doll. That’s not an attractive look, and I think most would agree. This is why you never chase perfection with surgery. Surgery should enhance your features, not perfect. Hairlines were never meant to look like someone drew it with a ruler. It’s natural to have asymmetry, and what is found in nature is always best. Hair is unlike anything else, the teeth analogy doesn’t make sense. Teeth are straightforward, even if you can tell they’re veneer’s it’s not as taboo as hair. Social stigma is nowhere near as bad with teeth as it is with hair. Insurance companies PAY for braces and even invisalign, when will you ever see an insurance company pay for hair transplants? The answer is never. Unless it’s for gender reassignment. Here’s an example of a symmetrical hairline that looks artificial. Definitely not natural. Because it’s too straight and symmetrical the eyes will always perceive it as artificial. Hairlines need to have some asymmetry to look natural. It’s pure nonsense to suggest otherwise. Here’s an example of what I consider to be a perfect transplanted hairline. The subtle asymmetry, the shape, everything about this hairline looks natural. This is as good as it gets with surgery. When you compare the two, the difference is astounding. -

Mike thanks for coming back, I can’t believe its been 5 years, you were just a young buck back then. Hope you’ll stick around. -
So you’re here defending your employer? I think you’ll understand that this doesn’t look good at all.

Dr. Charles Boca Raton/FUE/1800 grafts
Melvin- Admin replied to Unbrokenlink's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
It has improved from your 4 month update. But I can understand why you would be feeling anxious. The laser therapy would definitely help. Have you tried oral minoxidil? -

Asymmetrical or Symmetrical hairlines?
Melvin- Admin replied to NikosHair's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I would disagree. I think having a forehead that’s proportional looks better than having a tiny forehead. Regardless, even he has asymmetry. -
Asymmetrical or Symmetrical hairlines?
Melvin- Admin replied to NikosHair's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Perfect symmetry is not natural. If you split a persons face in half, you will see some asymmetry, even in the best looking people. I think subtle asymmetry is best. Jake Gylenhaal the epitome of great male hairlines, has some asymmetry. -
Beautiful results and hairline wow

I would quote you ZERO grafts. You have a FANTASTIC head of hair. There’s no surgeon on earth that could give you a better hairline than what you already have, which is amazing. Mature hairlines still look good when styled properly. Take a look at Chris Hemsworth. His hairline is almost identical to your hairline, but slightly more receded. He wears his hair in a clever way that conceals the corners and really looks good. I’d say your hair color is similar, except he does highlights, which give his hair a nice distinguished regal look. I would drop the hair style that goes all the way up, and instead adopt a side quiff. Consider adding some highlights, there are some shampoos you can buy for blondes that actually make blonde hair brighter, you can do this for the front to get that highlight look.

Unfortunately, we don’t allow outside links. But there are plenty of excellent results from Dr. Laorwong, Dr. Bicer and Dr. Turan. I would suggest using our advanced search page and looking at the reviews of these doctors individually.
