Regular Member rcfue Posted March 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 Hi I did a hairline FUE soon 3 years ago (1850 grafts) which I am very happy with. Now I am considering adding another 500 to 1000 to make the hairline even straighter ? Which surgeon would you recommend for this? Attaching photos of my current state cut to 10mm (on top) and 8mm (donor). Thanks in advance for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted March 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) How long after your 1st HT was the last picture taken? I know this isn't exactly answering your question, but your donor doesn't look great and to be frank it looks below good even. So I'd stick with the hairline you have as it looks really well done. Save the grafts for later as you might need them. Edited March 21, 2023 by GoliGoliGoli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 I think your donor is okay, just short, straight and fine. There are plenty of good docs. I don't know your budget or location so I'm unsure how to narrow it down for you, but my first question is why not stick with the original surgeon? They've done a fine job. Do you have before and after photos of your first case? Who was the doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your advice I think it would be a big mistake to straighten out your hairline after seeing your hairline. I think your hairline is perfectly fine and looks like nothing has been done.

Regular Member GeneralNorwood Posted March 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 Your hairline is straight as f*ck. You can grow longer hair and it will look even straighter. Making another HT to lower hairline would be huge mistake. 1 My first Hair Transplant - Eugenix 3514 Grafts (720 grafts on the temples) - Dr Priyadarshini Das Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted March 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 3 minutes ago, rcfue said: Yes exactly - something like that I can see why the comment was made about your donor. It may be hair characteristics and hair cut, but to me it looks like your hair is thinner at the top and bottom with a thick band in the middle. Very worse case that could be retrograde alopecia and your crown showing first signs of dropping. I don't mean to scaremonger, but I do think you should have it inspected by an expert to make sure your plans are future proof. From my perspective your hairline looks great, with fantastic density.

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) If you got on well with Dr Heitmann, I'd to back to him. He knows you and you already have a relationship with him. The work he did on you is excellent. If you want someone farther afield, plenty of good docs in Belgium such as Bisanga Lupanzula Feriduni and Mwamba. In America there is Dr Konior, Shapiro. Dr Bloxham if you wanted strip. I must disagree with the poster above, the straighter hairline would not look artificial. Tom Cruise never looked fake with a straight hairline, nor Ronald Reagan or Diesel the wrestler. It could look great, especially with your hair type. The suggestions I drew would likely take less than 500 grafts. But beware future hairloss. You don't want to run out of donor and have a big bald spot and more recession in ten years. Edited March 22, 2023 by Rafael Manelli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Silent123 Posted March 22, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2023 Hey man, I have to admit I thought your hairline looked really good already. Boxing it in will look nice though when you're a pensioner will that look good then? These are always things that I think people don't think about. Not to say being older and have a super straight hairline won't look cool, just that your hairline already looks great in my opinion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
