No. Personally I think it is too low (but it's just my opinion). What level of baldness are you at now?

Level 2 if not close to it

@Phillyman1996 you need to keep in mind that your hairline will be permanent for the rest of your life. A successful hair transplant is a natural transplant. You will need a hairline that you will grow into not out of. Aim for a hair line that will look natural at 36, 46, 56, etc. All the best!

This was my hairline as a kid if they create this hairline on me would it age well?

Is it a good idea to create a juvinille hairline on a 26 year old with hair transplants? I've been on minoxidil and finateride for 5 and a half years with stable loss.

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. 

Some would argue that zayn malik is epitomie of great male hairlines lol

I don’t see a demarcation line present in diffuse thinning.

I can tell in certain lighting I notice slight thinning but in some lighting it does it look normal doesn't a buzzcut accentuate your thinning areas?

Thank you for your response. To be honest, it’s hard to really give any further opinion or thoughts without seeing photos of your hair longer and under consistent lighting.  Do you have any such photos you can present? Short of better photos or an in person evaluation, it would be difficult to give you any additional input.

Best wishes,

Philly man,

given the length of your hair and the brightness of the photos, it’s honestly difficult to see how much thinning you are experiencing. It seems like you still have a pretty good head of hair. If you grow it out longer, what does it look like? You say you’ve been taking finasteride inland minoxidil for years, how do you feel they are working for you?  Are you still losing hair or do you feel it has stabilized? If your hair loss has stopped, when was the last time you felt you were losing hair?

The problem with diffuse thinners is that if any of the hair on top of your head is miniaturizing, there is a high risk of permanent shock loss to those hairs if you transplant hair in between and around them. However, if you are a good responder to finasteride, these hairs may have thickened and may be less vulnerable to permanent shock loss.

if you are a good responder to the medication and possess minimal miniaturizing hairs on top of the scalp, you may be a good candidate for surgery and could end up with a significant net gain in terminal hair and cosmetic improvement.

However, you may not be a good candidate for surgery if you already possess a substantial amount of natural hair with high density all over your scalp. Frankly, you wouldn’t want to transplant hair in between and around natural hair if you already possess density higher than what a surgeon would typically transplant.

I do suggest posting some better photos and if possible, resent some photos of your hair growing in a little bit.

Best wishes,

I feel like my hairloss has stabilized i haven't lost much hair these past couple years my hair fullness is still fairly deccent

Its honestly hard to say when your hair is that short. But remember, a hairtransplant only gives you an illusion of density and is not the same as native density.

I am also a diffuse thinner but probably worse than you but with curly hair to hide a lot of the "empty." Personally, I think im closer to the concepts of female pattern hairloss. Nonetheless, I still got a transplant done and sent my photos to various clinics who all gave me different answers based off what they would do and recommend vs what I had asked for (only a few agreed to do it and a few rejected the case). 

So I would recommend you to grow out your hair, send those photos of short and long to surgeons who are skilled in diffused thinners (or reputable clinics I am sure they get many dt) and get a consultation live/email. Probably see one in your area if you are able to.

Do you see alot of diffuse thinning on me with the short hair or is it only slight?

Slight diffusion on the top would getting transplants in those areas be worth it? I'm 26 been taking finateride and minox for years

Is diffuse thinning more or less noticeable with a buzzed head?

How long did the shock loss / shedding last for by the way? As in, how long was it all almost completely gone before it started growing back to that? @Phillyman1996

Like others have said, it’s similar to the pictures for a few days after surgery, so you shouldn’t expect much better than that. Don’t you have any pictures from immediately after surgery?

This was right after surgery

Except that the example in this thread clearly had hairline recession aka MPB.  He can say he was born with a "slightly uneven hairline" all he wants, but I'd be willing to bet his hairline receded some from where it was when he was 18.  Even minor recession is MPB.  It may not progress much or it may take a long time to progress, but to pretend it's not MPB seems awfully wishful.  It's almost as if any acknowledgement that one has any amount of hair loss should be met with shame.  Silly.

 

Some men are born with naturally high hairlines but I never see children with hiarlines this high lol. So it indeed is mpb he has.

I don't disagree.  The transplant itself technically looks good.  Temporal points look very well done.  Density is good.

This doctor also did "what the pantient wanted":  

 

Yea that guy i seen the video he looks funny af they did 4200 grafts on him if I recalll

1 minute ago, Fue3361 said:

I did the same thing as he did, but I think he way overdid it.  Would look so much better if it was a bit higher.

I think the docter did a good job for what he wanted though

I'm not a clinic representative, so buckle up for my non-diplomatic response. Yes, that hairline is way too aggressive.  Quite frankly, it looks moronic.  Especially on a white guy.  And the brief video I've seen of this guy describing himself as being born with a "slightly uneven hairline" that he just wanted to make "natural and straight" is cringeworthy.  He acts as if his hairline was some weird irregularity from birth, but in truth he just had mild hairline recession that's pretty common in men especially starting in their mid 20s.  And his new hairline doesn't look natural at all.

Here's the full video.  I have no clue what that clown of a doctor is talking about when he says he'd only perform that kind of procedure on someone without hair loss.  The guy clearly had mild hairline recession.  He looks worse post-op than he did prior.  He could've had a less aggressive procedure and benefited marginally from it, but instead he now will have to keep up a ridiculously low, flat, and unnatural hairline that's as low as most 15 year olds hairlines.  That screenshot is laughable.  I'll go a step further and say this is the tasteless, trashy version of @Fue3361's procedure.  His looked natural and appropriate whereas this guy honestly looks like a clown.

 

I know alot of people dislike very low hairlines but when I see grown men with juville hairline I do get kinda jealous lol but I think most would agree that his hairline is a bit too agresssive like what if in the future he loses most of his hair he would regret it

Going by your pics the transplanted hairline looks like it’s 4-5cm above the glabella. (?). 

Idk if I'm measuring correctly but it's slightly less then 6.5

Would you guys say this hairline is too agressive?

59 minutes ago, Gatsby said:

To be completely honest it’s questionable if you even needed a hair transplant to begin with? Are you taking minoxidil or Finasteride? Is there hair loss in the crown or other areas of the scalp? I wouldn’t do a thing until 12 months post op so you know exactly what is going on. Going by the pics you have shown it appears that your hairline is incredibly low (?). You can have this repaired but not before 12 months. I don’t think you need another hair transplant either btw. Just the grafts removed and placed further back. I wish you all the best and patience is the most important thing you need now. DM me if you would like to. 🙏

The crown is slightly thinning I've been on Propecia and minoxidil for 5 years yiu mean the hairline they drew is too loow?

This doesn't look great, but I'm not going to pretend that you're doomed. Honestly, this is a much easier fix than having your donor depleted and grafts misangled, though the growth looks super poor. You'll probably need a second transplant, imo. Would not return to this clinic -- it's charging a premium price for suboptimal results it seems.

If you're young I'd be careful abt lowering the hairline. I think this seems poorly planned.

I'm 26 years old they said they were aiming for 1 cm lower of hairline but the results are very bad the name is clinic is natural transplants

That's almost robbery. That clinic probably implanted less than 1,800 grafts. How's your scar looking? If there's anything good about that clinic, it seems they produce thin FUT scars, so I think repair should be pretty easy with the right doc.

 

Yea my scar is pretty thin

I hate seeing results like this. You want to say good things and be proven wrong but what you see is exactly what it is.

How much did it cost? Please tell me it was cheap at least.

This forum absolutely trashes Turkish hairmills as they should but in my unpopular opinion, they have value for most people like OP here. If he had ended up at an average hairmill, he would have far better growth, maybe multis in the hairline and bad donor but I think good recipient growth with bad donor beats bad growth. You can move alive hairs again and repair them but if they die, they’re dead and wasted. And it would’ve been far cheaper as well.

Anyway, the next clinic you choose please choose from this forum recommended list. The sad thing is you didn’t even need a HT in the first place, now you’re going to be rocking a FUT scar and and a double hairline with island in middle that needs repair and a lot of your precious grafts are wasted that you will need later in life perhaps

It was 10 k for the transplant

That clinic is an abomination of a clinic and performs mini graft surgery.  They're literally the worst of the worst.  I'd be interested to see post-op pics, but I honestly wouldn't expect much man.  No point in asking how many grafts he had implanted as they don't even count them like real clinics do.   Definitely contact a reputable clinic and think about your next steps, but at the same time your result is bound to progress and obviously this isn't the end result yet.   Is the area they transplanted into all virgin or did they mix those grafts in with your native hair?  If all of that recipient area was bare scalp (and that isn't mixed in with native hair), they absolutely didn't put enough grafts in the area to give you even a modicum of density.

Also, you need to give your scalp more than 6-8 months to heal before you get another procedure.  The next place you go to needs to be actually good, which virtually guarantees they have a 6+ month waiting list minimum.  That will give you a year or so between the next transplant and the last one, which is generally the minimum time recommended you wait from one procedure to the next.

I think they mixed it in with native hair im gonna wait it out and see how this turns out

Looks like you're going to have a sub-optimal result

By 5 months should I already have a notably filled in hairline?

Just now, AlexMeister21 said:

That place is pretty much like a hair mill. I don't think your result will end up being satisfactory by the 12-month mark. If you are planning on getting another transplant, perhaps you should begin putting together a list of reputable surgeons. Also, please don't go back to Natural Hair Transplants.

I def will not what red flags do you see with natural hair transplants?
