Senior Member johnno Posted March 22, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi, it's johnno here!! You lot should think yourselves lucky as I have had 1500 grafts transplanted from 2 surgeries and have a 9cm hairline to put up with for another 2 years. I guess it suits me but I don't like it and will get it lowered in 2 years time, if I got enough donor hair ? I could thicken up the centre and crown then brush it forward!! How many grafts would it take to lower the hairline by 2cm ? johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted March 22, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2007 johnno- Depends on how wide of an area? Since you'll want it pretty dense in the hairline I'd shoot for 50 grafts per sq cm at the least. If you have a 2cm x 20cm area to cover, thats 40 sq cm. To get 50 grafts per sq cm you would then need 2000 grafts. If you need temple work, you'll need to add a little more. Hope this makes sense.

Regular Member LaGrange Posted March 25, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2007 Hi guys just did a measurement and my hairline is 7.5 cm, I went with the higher hairline as I am 51 and didn`t want the hairline of a 25 yr old at this stage of the game..Hell I am just so happy to have a hairline period after 15 yrs of not having one Cheers http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted March 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2007 I am 51 also. My hairline was brought down to 5.5 cm. At that distance it is still far from a 25 year old's hairlne. It just depends on your level of hair loss and how much donar you have to spare. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Khali Posted June 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2013 Mine is at 7.5 cm. The problem I have with mine is I have a broad forehead, and right now instead of lowering my hair line, I want to shrink the length horizontally. Any suggestions for that ?

Senior Member Khali Posted June 17, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2013 I wonder if body hair would work to cover the temple peaks. Dr Radha wanted to transplant there, but when I only got 2600 grafts she said your donor hair needs to be used to cover up your broad forehead. The top of my head is 124 cm squared in circumference.

I think it depends on the body hair. My body hair on my chest, arms, and legs would be perfect because it is fairly fine in caliber and straight. Nape hair may also work. I don't think beard hair would be a wise choice as the caliber is too great.

Senior Member gillenator Posted March 5, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 5, 2014 Possibly the measurement could be considered above the juvenile placement of the individual. Any hairline that commences at the frontallis point where most juvenile hairlines commence are too low. Also consideration to the facial attributes as well as the symmetrical differences between individuals would be wise. For example those with higher foreheads and lower placed hairlines would not appear natural IMHO. Consideration to age is also an important factor.

Some people have big foreheads and the hairline should be higher. Some have short foreheads and their head goes flat. Facial shape has a lot to do with it.

Regular Member Cowhorns Posted March 6, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2014 My hairlines just under 7CM's. Hair transplant greed tells me that I should lower it more as this would make me happy. However Dr's not too keen and on a rational level I only have 2000 grafts left (FUE) In addition I do have a naturally high / broad forehead and I have already transplanted near the frontallis muscle. The temporal peeks is a good area to focus on, ill be having them touched up later this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted March 7, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted March 7, 2014 That's very wise on your part Nick because as we already know, the temporal lobe regions do and will continue to recede. The limited available scalp donor must be planned to address further loss of the entire frontal zone including consideration of the temporal lobes...
