Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted January 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2012 Is it possible to have a perfect hairline (or near perfect) transplant that can grow long? My hair loss has been stabilised via 12.5% minoxidil cream and propecia, so I don't have concerns about the rest of the hair falling out now. I would like my crown to become a little thicker if possible, but really I'm just looking into the hairline transplant for now. Could a transplant allow me to have perfect long hair? Thanks (P.s this is my first post after years of "lurking") 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted January 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2012 You mention two things which are completely different. A perfect hair line does not exist, but transplantation can give you a cosmetically pleasing hair line but it will not be as thick as it was when you were 13 years old. It can still be thick and great, but "perfect" is a very dangerous word to use in cosmetic procedures. Your hair that is transplanted can grow as long as you let it, so that can certainly be achieved. If you're looking for the fullest result possible you may require more than one procedure. Meet with a recommeneded surgeon and see what he or she has to say about your particular situation. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted January 25, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thankyou very much for the reply My hairline now is kind of like John Travolta's widows peak in Pulp Fiction except a little more receded on the sides, so for me it wouldn't be a complete drastic over-haul like for a lot of people's cases I have seen on here. I have seen some photographs of Transgender patients that had the "full long hair" effect I'm looking for, but I don't know if that could be down to the hormones they take? Thick and great sounds very good to me, if perfect isn't possible. I just want a strong hairline and thick long hair - it has been a hard few years losing it! Again, thanks for the reply. I'm new so don't know any recommended surgeons yet, but if anyone can post some that would be great. I'm from the UK but I'd be willing to go to the USA for a transplant if they were the best person for the job. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted January 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2012 If you're in the UK you can try seeing Dr. Farjo in London or Dr. Bisanga and Dr. Devroye in Belgium. Most of the recommended doctors are in the U.S and many including Dr. True and Dr. Dorin perform online consultations for international patients so you don't have to travel to get a consultation.
