Dr. Timothy Carman Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 This hairline reconstruction emphasizes the importance we place on subtlety in the recreation of a natural result. The new hairline must take into account the patients bone structure, pre-existing hair, and most importantly, the anticipated future losses. We feel it is also critical that the improvement not change the overall facial character, as this can drastically affect the perception of a natural look. This gentleman had been experiencing hairline recessions only, with no other features of male pattern balding in other areas. Importantly, as there is a limit to how densely one can "pack" hair into a square centimeter, on bare skin (due to blood supply limitations), further conservative design is essential so as to not create an aesthetic tension between the placement and shape of the new hairline and that limiting density.
