Hairline design

[HarryHonolulu]

Hey all

 

i have my FUE procedure scheduled for tmrw.... 2000 grafts, gonna start conservative and do another one at a later date (I’m a NW 4/5)

I have had a receding hairline for 10 years. I’m 35 now. The receding hairline didn’t bother me at all - what bothers me now, of course, is that the hair on top has thinned considerably. 

In discussing my desired hairline with the Dr tomorrow morning and I’m trying to figure out the best approach.

Im somewhat nervous about the “straight line” look which some people end up with. It’s especially unnatural if the person had a receding hairline and then suddenly.. LEGO man. 

so if I show photos of my hairline to my doctor from 10 years ago , would it make sense to actively try and keep a receding hairline “look” , maybe just lower it a tiny bit and focus on filling in the trace that’s already there? As opposed to basically ending up with coverage but a v different hairline from my original one and also the one that all my friends and colleagues associate me with.

im attaching 3 photos. The first one from last week, the second from 4 years ago and the last one (with the wine glass on the table) from 10 years ago.

I’m fairly certain the surgeon will follow you current hairline design, especially because with 2,000 grafts he’ll have to rebuild the hairline band and the center forelock. My guess would be a design like this, so that the result is dense enough and allows you to style your hair in a way to give the illusion of density.

Good luck Harry! From what I've seen, most of the docs that are recommended on this site design natural looking hairlines that follows a similar line to the one's patients have had in their younger years. Who did you end up going with btw?

 

best,
