Hairline height from eyebrows

[Fmulder]

Hi
Question for people who went to hair restoration, each one has different head but, what is your final hairline height from eyebrows?

There are engineering principles that apply to most of us.  It is called the rule of thirds.  (Chin to nose, nose to eyebrow, eyebrow to hairline).  Tends to be 7 cm.

It will vary with age, ethnicity, facial structure, goals, etc. mine is 7cm at the midpoint which is low for my age but was designed to hide a surgical scar. All the best.

I was told that since I'm norwood 6 (good donor area ~8000),  I should go for 8 cm from eyebrows, or the lower hairline can be maximum ~ 7.5 cm.
however, since originally I have 6 or 6.5 cm height, I'm a little bit worried with the 8cm option.
 

Should I avoid it (8 cm option) ?

Can sombody post 8cm result example?

You need a hairline that you will grow into, not out of as you age. All the best.

I'm 3.5 months post-op, so not that close to final result, but mine was lowered from roughly 9cm to 8cm.  I'd say about 2/3 of what appears to be lowering in that picture is actual lowering, while the remaining 3rd is native hair that was shaved pre-op (and is therefore shorter than the rest of the hair behind it).  Gatsby makes a very good point.  It depends on overall facial structure, race, and how well you want to age with the hairline.  If you're a long headed Scandinavian with that loss progression going for a Reaganesque look would be ridiculous. Anything below 7cm I'd imagine would be odd looking as you age for most people - especially if you don't have very strong hair everywhere else.  What you don't want is to lower so much that you don't have enough grafts to cover the rest of the areas where you lose hair (if loss progresses, which it likely will at least to some degree at some point).

Mine is just under 8 cm. I wish it was slightly lower, but I don't have the donor for it.
