Recipient Graft/Hair Direction?

[hairyharry]

I'm curious about a couple of things regarding recipient grafts and hair direction:

- What is the ideal direction of hair in hairline area?
- Once set during the procedure can it easily change direction during post-op?
- If you're not happy with hair direction is that hard to deal with with respect to styling, etc?

Thanks!

Hi,

 

1. Depends on the hair direction of your native hairs. In case you don't have these, the surgeon can use his expertise to choose the best direction which fits your face and creates the best illusion of density. 

 

2. Yes, if the sites are to big. 

 

3. Once the direction is made, when making incisions, is can only be undone  by a corrective procedure.
