An excellent result. Can I ask how you decide to place grafts for patients with curly hair so that the curls continue to grow uniformly? Thanks for sharing!

Hi, The grafts need to be placed with correct pattern and direction like the straighter hair grafts. No difference.

This is a 38-year-old patient who wanted to lower his hairline by about 2 cm. He does not have a bad history of hair loss and his existing hair are not miniaturizing. These two factors make him a good candidate for a lowering of hairline hair Transplant.

This kind of work is not recommended for young patients who have just started to lose their hair and they have a potential for high Norwood scales.

HDC Medical Team under the lead of Dr Maras, has transplanted 2680 grafts in a way that the additional hair to blend with his existing ones. The result is one year after.

The secret of success in such cases is to create a correct hairline design and place the grafts in the correct density, angle, and pattern. Patients expect a natural looking result, and this is what we succeed in giving them.

Please see the result, demonstrating the before and the post operation photos, with detail.

This is a 34-year-old patient who has lost his hair in the front and half top area and is heading towards class NW4. He has thin hair in the class 4 area which will be lost in the coming years, and he will need further hair transplantation in this area.

HDC Hair Clinic with leading doctor being Dr Christina Vryonidou have transplanted 3650 grafts to cover the front area. The extraction of the grafts has been equally distributed over the whole useful donor, so that it will look uniform and be ready for the next FUE for the area behind the transplanted one.

Dr Christina is achieving natural irregular hairline results as you can see in the photos that follow. The detail of the work is always more detectable in the clear post operation photos.

HDC Hair Clinic and its Medical Team achieve state of the art hair transplant results over time and patients coming to us have the certainty that they will get the best that the industry can give them.

We hereby present a Norwood class 5-6 patient who transplanted in total 7650 grafts in two FUE Hair Transplants, with HDC Hair Clinic.

FUE1 on March 2019 for 3600 grafts

FUE2 on November 2020 for 4050 grafts covering an area of about 93cm.

See below all the photos showing his before, post op and 1 year result in November 2021.

Additionally, we need to state that just covering the scalp with hair is not everything. We need to pay attention to the following details, as we did in this case and to all our patients.

·         Correct hairline design and height of hairline to achieve naturalness

·         Correct angulation of implanted hair to accommodate natural hair style.

·         Correct pattern of recipient sites to mimic natural pattern of hair growth.  avoiding corridors and empty areas.

·         Right number of singles in the front for natural look and maintain density

·          Correct number of grafts per cmsq to achieve coverage and to be in accordance to the donor area.

·         Spiral pattern of growth on the crown.

·         Correct management of donor area to avoid depletion.

At HDC we want to give educational value to our posts.

This patient re visited our Clinic to bring a friend for Evaluation,  and we took some new photos on the 13^th month, after period.

So you can see the result 13 months after and the exact way the patient styles now his hair.

This patient who is 35 years old, wanted to enhance his hair density to the front and temples. He had a previous hair transplant many years ago when he still had most of his native hair.

After the loss of his existing hair, he ended up with lower density in this area. HDC Hair Clinic with Team leader being Dr Maras, has transplanted only 1872 grafts to increase the density of this area, to match with his hair density behind.

The important element in this case is that the existing hair were used as part of the solution.  So, the new hair transplanted hair was placed in between those. This way the number of newly transplanted hair was kept low, thus giving lower cost to the patient and less grafts taken from the donor.

This patient is 47 years old and wanted to restore his hairline with a natural looking result. He focused on naturality and not necessarily on density as some younger patients do. He had temporal recession and thinness behind his front turf.

Naturality means to really look at an individual’s face and be able to build a hairline that suits that person individually. You can throw a million graphs on Anybody’s head but if you don’t know which direction the hair is supposed to grow, what types of hair is supposed to be on certain places, a thick head of hair doesn’t mean anything If everybody is looking at you for the wrong reasons.

So, Dr Maras and the rest of the medical team of HDC Hair Clinic, did exactly what the patient wanted. We used only 2720 grafts to complete the job.

You can see all the detail of the work in the post op photos and the correct position of the hairline.

This is a young patient, only 25 years old. He wanted to fill up his receding hairline. HDC Team has examined his family history and status of hair loss. It was found that he does not have a potential of high Norwood stage, so we proceeded with his surgery.

In young patients, is important to make sure that they understand their future hair loss and to have realistic expectations, otherwise you end up with unsatisfied patients. It is also important to check that they have a good donor that can support possible further hair loss.

In this case we only used 2500 grafts as you can see below. Notice that we kept a conservative hairline, as it will escort this individual for the rest of his life. Low hairlines and temporal rectification should be avoided in young patients.

This 32-year-old patient wanted to restore his hairline. He was after a natural result with density that would blend in harmony with his native hair behind the transplanted.

HDC Medical team with Dr Maras as the leading physician, manged to fulfil patient’s Goal with 2352 grafts. The result is presented 1.5 years After the surgery.

Hairline hair transplantation many times is more difficult than it looks. It takes a lot of artistry and detail to end up with a natural hairline.

To really look at an individual’s face and be able to build a hairline that feed that person individually is second to none.

You can throw a million graphs on Anybody’s head but if you don’t know which direction the hair is supposed to grow, what types of hair is supposed to be on certain places, a thick hairline doesn’t mean anything If everybody is looking at you for the wrong reasons.

This 37-year-old Norwood Class 5 patient, wanted to cover all his baldness. It was too much to cover it all in one surgery, so HDC has divided the balding area to be covered, in two different surgeries with a minimum 1-year interval.

He had his first FUE in July 2019 for 4180 Grafts and the second one on May 2021 for the crown with 2850 grafts. This totals 7030 grafts in both surgeries.

In order to make possible covering large balding areas with good density we, need to manage correctly the donor area. Grafts should be taken out with care and spread the extraction all over the donor area, by leaving the surrounding hair from each punch, intact. This causes less trauma to the donor and can maximize over all the total hair that can be extracted, with minimal damage. To succeed you need the skill and the patience of the doctor and the technicians. Therefore, we divide each surgery in two days. 

We will show the before, post op and result of the first surgery to the front and then the post op of the surgery to the crown.

Any pics of the donor from the sides post op?

I found these photos of a week later where you can see the sides and also how look the transplanted area

This is a 34-year-old patient who wanted to enhance the density to the front and cover the crown. He was also concerned about his donor and wanted to cover the area to a natural look without insisting on high density. His main aim was naturality and to leave donor for future hair loss.

HDC Medical Team, under the responsibility of Dr Maras used only 3300 grafts to cover both areas. To achieve this, we did not build a dense front hairline that would spend a lot of grafts.

Note, the clean recipient area one week after and the post op donor photos, showing how the extraction had been evenly distributed over the area, leaving in-between hair intact, as it is always done by HDC.

Finally, the result was to the full satisfaction of the patient and this shows an alternative approach to patients that want to proceed with a more conservative approach.

This is a 29-year-old patient who wanted to add hair to his hairline to blend with his existing hair behind the bald area. The initial hesitation from the HDC medical team and Doctor Maras was that if the patient would preserve the same number 1 short haircut, the transplanted hair could look slightly different from his existing hair. The Transplanted hair are placed with a density of about 50 Follicular units per cmsq, while the native hair may be thinner in this area with a higher number of grafts in one cm.

Well, In the end the patient accepted to grow his hair if needed and this hesitation was over. So HDC Transplanted 3050 FUE grafts, and the desired result has now been accomplished.

It is remarkable to notice the almost zero haircut of the patient in the donor area and that no visible sign of scarring is observed. This is what we call a two-way result. One way is the result in the recipient area and the other way is the result in the donor area.

This patient had hairline and temple reception. The rest of his hair were very strong and had no miniaturization in the crown. This is why we decided to proceed with his hair transplant. It should be avoided on patients that are potential high Norwood scale.

The HDC Medical team created a dense pack in the transplanted area with 2750 grafts. We lifted the height of the hairline slightly higher than his existing one, in order to give more naturalness to his result.

A refined job like this is not as simple as it may look. The artistry involved is to really look at an individual’s face and be able to build a hairline that feed that person individually. You can throw a million grafts on anybody’s head but if you don’t know which direction the hair is supposed to grow, what types of hair is supposed to be on certain places, a thick head of hair doesn’t mean anything, if everybody is looking at you for the wrong reasons.

This is a 42-year-old patient who wanted to cover his crown. HDC Medical Team under the supervision of Dr Maras, transplanted 2730 grafts.

This patient has good donor. So even if the donor has high number of follicular units per square centimeter, still we distributed the extraction of the grafts all over the donor area. This achieves the least trauma and scarring to the donor and does not make a specific area of the donor look less dense than the adjacent area. It needs more patience and time to extract this way, but in HDC protocol this technique has to be followed.

Well, the result is only 5 months and it still has a lot of room for improvement. Usually, the crown results take longer than the hairline results to mature.

We will update in a few months for final result.

This is a classic case of a 24-year-old patient who wanted to restore his front hairline recession.

HDC Medical Team transplanted 2800 grafts to restore this area. It may look like a simple hair restoration, but the challenge is to transplant enough grafts so that the transplanted hair will blend with the existing terminal hair behind the transplanted area. The hairline must be designed at the right height, keep appropriate temples, place the hair in the correct direction, and create a natural hairline so that the result will be natural and will suit the image of the patient, according to his personality and age. Patients need to understand the importance of the Art factor in hair Restoration. HDC can safeguard the correct design and naturality of the result due to our long experience and after learning from our mistakes.

Additionally, you can see the clean and proper work in the post operation photo of the recipient area, and the pattern of the correct allocation of the extracted grafts from the donor area, so that it will heal fast without visible scarring or noticeable loss of hair volume.

This is a 31-year-old patient that wanted to restore his hairline. His main aim was to look natural so he trusted the doctors of HDC to make the design that would best suit his appearance. HDC Hair Clinic has transplanted 2980 grafts to restore this area.

It must be noted that in case like this, in order for the result to be natural and blend with existing native hair behind, a dense pack is needed, hair must be placed with correct pattern and direction, hairline should be drawn so as the result to look natural and the transplanted hair should cover all the miniaturized hair, so that we do not end up with thin hair behind the transplanted, 2 years later.

Check the result and we hope you like it.

Great natural results. If you don't mind me asking, what is the cost per graft at HLC?

Thank you for asking.

Just for correctness, we are HDC Hair Clinic in Cyprus and you can see who we are at a glance and the price range we are offering, at this link.

This is a 50-year-old patient who decided to restore his receding hairline. HDC Medical Team dense packed 2800 FUE grafts, giving a full density so that the transplanted hair, would blend nicely with the hair behind.

A receding hairline can increase your estimated age for up to 5 years, and the reverse will apply if you restore it successfully. A hairline surgery is not easy, because you need to design it correctly by avoiding placing it too high or too low, dense pack the grafts, use correct pattern in making the sites and the correct angulation so that it will look completely natural.

You can also notice how correctly and evenly the punching was spread over the donor, thus avoiding leaving an area of the donor looking less dense than any other.

HDC has published many examples of hairline restoration in the near past, and many of our patients come for this type of surgery.

As you can see in this result, all the elements mentioned above were strictly followed.
