Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted March 9, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hello everybody! Has anybody got any strategies to make the most of the "tuft" at the front of the head? I have very little hair immediately behind it but my hair is so thick on the sides and mid-scalp that it masks this. This is good as the tuft looks bad on bald men but I also think for men contemplating surgery, it can be good as a focal point to form a hairline natural to you. It also means fewer grafts. Has anybody got any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArochaHair Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It may not actually mean fewer grafts because if your tuft is of a hair or even native original density then more grafts are necessary to blend in. If this isn't done then the contrast in density will make the result on either side of the tuft seem thinner. In general it is just a matter of planting around the tuft, and slightly into it for blending. If there is any loss in the tuft itself then obviously some grafts will need to be placed inside, too, depending on the circumstances.

Senior Member rev333 Posted March 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2017 Men with tufts or forelocks consistently get thick natural looking hairlines. Rahal and Konior has many examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted March 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think the tuft does a great job at blocking light and I have seen many successful procedures with tufts.

Senior Member Ernie Posted March 14, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 14, 2017 I was a tuft case. See my signature below for my thread. Plenty of pics to see how my doctor integrated my existing hair in the tuft with my new transplanted hair. Came out great :-) 3185 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 2/17/16 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/182611-fut-3185-dr-rahal-day-after-pics.html 1204 FUT with Dr. Rahal on 3/27/17 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186586-round-2-rahal-1204-fut-frontal-third-same-area.html ---> total of 4389 grafts to my frontal third via FUT ---> 1mg finasteride daily since 1999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted March 15, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 15, 2017 Thanks guys! It seems like, as always, the better the surgeon the better the result will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnCasper Posted March 21, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2017 Just be very glad you have excellent donor areas which is a huge positive in your case. I had great donor area which has yielded over 7,000 grafts. At the International Hair Restoration conference in Chicago a couple years ago, where I was on display, surgeons examined my donor area and said I could easily have another surgery. You're very fortunate to have great donor areas. Best of luck to you and keep us posted.

I have very little hair immediately behind it but my hair is so thick on the sides and mid-scalp that it masks this. This is good as the tuft looks bad on bald men but I also think for men contemplating surgery, it can be good as a focal point to form a hairline natural to you. It also means fewer grafts. Has anybody got any opinions? You could transition to a comb-over should you have a good hairline designed. My opinions are my own. I am one representative of MyWHTC Clinic's European branch.
