Regular Member FixMyHair213 Posted September 14, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm usually not a big fan of dense hair transplants but if you're going to get one it should be done right and this has been done as perfectly as it can be. this is literal hair porn and no one will be able to tell.

Strange comment. Hair transplants that match native density as closely as possible are as natural looking as you can get - given the hairline design is sound, the angles are correct and the appropriately textured hairs are used. For any form of hairline lowering and temple point work - unless you go dense, it’s not worth doing. Thicker haired candidates may get away with slightly lower implanted density - but due to the singles and softer hairs required in these areas, a higher density count should always be planned for with these types of interventions.

Senior Member Gokuhairline Posted September 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 I think it depends from person to person, some older guys (35+) with out any work done actually have sparse hairlines and even slight gaps, but that is probably natural hair loss , so I think a dr who does great hairlines should also try to do natural looking temples if that is something the patient wants.

Look at the OP’s pre op hairline and temple point design. Why an earth would it make sense to add gaps and sparsity to an aggressive and juvenile shaped design - safely assuming that candidates seeking this type of design are seeking a youthful appearance, as opposed to looking 35+ with ‘natural hair loss’.

Senior Member John1991 Posted September 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) I agree that micro irregularities are pretty much necessary for a result to look natural in the vast majority of cases. Otherwise you end up looking weird. In this case, even the hairline has irregularities. Yes, it's "straight," but if you look at it closely, it has a very minor zig-zag design.

I am usually in favour of less dense hair transplants because I've got progressive hair loss and even though it has stabilised there's chance it will go further back given the fact that I was already an NW3 at aged 21. This transplant has around 80 grafts per cm2. he used 3300 grafts to do this whole procedure. That's a large chunk of grafts gone for a small portion of the hairline. I am more in favour of something like 50-55 grafts per cm2 being used so that you still get a full head of hair that looks good but has saved grafts for further hair loss. op had no further balding and a matured hairline, in this case he got what he wanted which was to lower the hairline and it to be dense. his transplant looks good and most people will not know something was done.

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted September 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 I think its important to keep in mind that @Fue3361 does not suffer from MPB. He got a hair transplant because his forehead is very large. I think this density discussion is a bit different for this one example, since its not involving MPB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairEnthusiast101 Posted September 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 Might I add…wow! And also how? Lol insane results. Now you say you have had the same hairline for like 30+ years which first off kudos but how do you know you won’t bald or thin some? Like genetics point to no or you are on meds? I say that because my grandpa had a similar hairline to the one you have after Ht(NW0) all his life but at 70 it did recess some. Just curious.

Senior Member John1991 Posted September 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) More irregularities that make it look natural. It may only be minor "zig-zagging", but if it were a straight line it wouldn't look quite as natural IMO.

Senior Member Fue3361 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Been letting it grow out longer to see how it looks, and the density really has filled in well, with hair texture blending in much better than before. Here is a 15 month update, no product, just dry hair: I don’t know if I should add another update every 3-6 months now, or is it pointless?

I've not came across any internationally accredited surgeons who are able to perform 75/80FUcm2 transplant in one pass - in fact, in Dr Konior's most recent interview with Melvin, he jokes that he would like to meet someone capable of this feat, as it is still unable to have been successfully performed as far as he was aware. Your post ops look good, the work looks clean, and I like the design. If those numbers of density really have been transplanted, I hope as much as possible survives. Your native hair looks to be very dense, hence the requirement for a higher density required in your new hairline design. Good luck Why are most surgeons not able to implant 75/80 per session?
