You do not need a hairline specialist, but a clinic focusing on large cases. How old are you? Are you on meds? What is your goal? I'm 42, topical foam rogaine - goal is too keep head shaved (like a 2) but have hair LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not going to be able to keep your hairs at that length after HT, your donor area will show scars even after 3k grafts and for somewhat full coverage 6k will be needed for front+crown. There is absolutely no way you can keep your hairs short without showing off scars in the donor. Your transplanted hairs will also look very sparse and may not be what you think they will look like. Getting SMP will work wonderfully though I think and then the short hair plan might work. But then you can get SMP now and still get somewhat of a decent result, why go through HT?

Eh I don't want SMP. And I don't mind keeping it longer than this at all. I can keep it longer for sure. I have seen skin fades after a year show no scars though. Why do you think I will have scars and they will never go away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Looking at your pictures you have a high degree of baldness at NW5, you will need a lot of grafts to restore your baldness, about 6000 grafts. The best for you would be to start with an FUT and not FUE, so that you can get more grafts without compromising your donor. You can consult doctors like Hasson and wong, Hatingen hair and Laorwong for an fut procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly what's the point if it will never look 100% natural? I've asked and everyone has said it NEVER will look absolutely 100% natural/real.

With fut you can get more grafts and later on even plan for a second procedure with fue to add even more density. Your donor area does not look bad although you have to let it grow 1-2 cm to ger a better idea of your donor capacity. If you are not sure about getting a hairtransplant and feeling ok with the shaved look then definately the best choice is not do anything and keep rocking the shaved look.

I like it shaved, but I just don't want to be bald ya know? And FUT won't work because the scar will show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had FUT with Cooley for my hairline very pleased....just consulted with him on my crown and he recommended FUT again One reason I chose Cooley besides his photos and videos was he did not shave donor area. Im ideally looking to do FUE this go around so not sure he is in the running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member consequence Posted November 8, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 8, 2023 Interesting to see how many times Pekiner's name got mentioned here. Softness of the line is part of what makes a great hairline but it's also important look at overall design -- ie. shape and temple points. Some like Eugenix or Ferreira are more sharp and angular, others are right angles almost like the edge of a table (Leal), and others are more curved (Konior) and some don't even build temples usually (Freitas, Hasson). To me, the softer edges look more natural than the sharp/angular ones; when I see a really sharp set of temples it looks unnatural to me like an anime comic book character. Everyone has their own preference, but it develops only after looking at a bunch of cases. Building a casa de papel with Dr. Couto: my 1700 FUE in Madrid.

Regular Member toon_toon Posted November 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2023 Laorwong and Pekiner makes tight hairlines, with micro irregularities (50-55 grafts/cm2) I would not consider De Freitas, as he makes the hairlines very straight and implants in rows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
