Regular Member difffuse Posted June 29, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted June 29, 2013 Hi, I have been looking at recent 2012/2013 before and after photos and youtube videos and it looks like aggressive hairlines in HT's are becoming more common than before? I have seen NW6 patients getting aggressive hairlines in youtube video from dr Diep. What do you think? Is it more important to have a natural hairline for my age (40) or to get the hairline that will make me look the best even if this will make it obvious that I had work done?

Senior Member greatjob Posted June 29, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2013 I think some patients have had too aggressive hairlines for sure, but some not. I think it is all about donor supply and hair characteriestics. Take me for example I am coming up on six months from my last HT with Dr. Rahal, and he is someone who some believe is too aggressive, however in my case he followed a very conservative hairline that was established with my previous very small procedure. Of course this is what I expected, but this was his recommendation without my input. The reasoning behind it is what I already knew, I have lower donor density and finer caliber hair, coupled with advanced loss, so in my case a more conservative hairline was in order. However if someone has a large number of donor available plus thick caliber hair then transplanting a more aggressive hairline might not be out of the question even if they have advanced loss.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Most would agree that it is wiser to start off being more conservative before over committing. You can always get more aggressive at a later time.

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 1, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hairline placement is a tough call. You don't want a low and aggressive hairline, but you don't want to look like Bert and Ernie with hair just sitting on the top of your head either. No, a NW6 should have not have an aggressive hairline. I say always err on the side of natural.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Even a hairline that is a little higher than you were thinking will still frame your face and can make a big improvement.
