Regular Member ReturnIOfTheHairline Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Hey so I am currently 14 weeks into my 1st transplant, we went quite conservative with the hairline and I will be looking to finalize it with a 2nd and bring the sides down along with a bit more temporal work. Ideally what I want is a design something like this. Just wanted your thoughts on if this seems suitable and how many grafts you think it would be Thankyou.

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 About 1200 why didn’t you opt for that the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted March 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) You would have already used many single grafts during the construction of your hairline in your 1st surgery ...so its tough to again get so many single grafts to lower your hairline again...bt ths depends on your donor ....i guess from you pics it seems you may need around 1500-1700 for hairline as well as temporal points...

Good question, to be honest I went with docs recommendation with the sides being higher naturally as we age, although its kinda bothering me now. I would just want the green bits filled nothing lower in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front is good just want to bring the sides down a little bit and temporal points out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 The line you drew would lower the front by a few millimetres. If you don't want to lower it at all, you're looking at about 900 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted March 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 7, 2023 Oh if nothing lower in front thn i guess even around 1100-1200 would be sufficient ..you cn do it easily 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 If you don't want anymore density added to the front, I'd say this is about 700 grafts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted March 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 7, 2023 Not many grafts at all if it's literally just the corners and not lowering the whole hairline. I've just had some corner work done a week ago and it was less than 400 grafts all in. You might want a little more based on the outline you've drawn, but it should't really be more than 300 per side I'd have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Otis james Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 Am I the only one who prefers slightly receded corners?! I think recession looks good, if the hairline has density… my whole hairline has thinned across the front. I always wish it had just receded in the corners but stayed thick! Anyway, I think yours looks good mate. Has a nice natural shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted March 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 7, 2023 1k singles should do, which means much less graft can be used if using transected double/triples. Anything between 600-1k graft sounds reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM I would say it depends on the style of the recession, for me I would prefer a more angular recession as apposed to that m shape. Did you have a transplant or not yet?
