Whether due to genetics, hair loss or an accident, many men and women with receding hairlines turn to a hair restoration procedure as their best hope for reversing the clock. However, turning back the clock through transplantation isn’t as simple as replacing what’s been lost. Designing a new hairline requires an experienced surgeon with the technical skill and artistry to create a natural appearance that will look as good 20 years from now as it does today. A significant percentage of the work we do at the Lam Institute involves correcting results done by hair restoration surgeons who don’t understand these fundamental principles.강남헤어라인
During your consultation, the doctor will use a standard measuring system to determine where the ideal hairline should be located. The outer limit of this line should fall a few centimeters below the glabella (the area between the eyebrows). If the hairline extends above this point, it will look too high. A skilled doctor will also consider how the forehead area should be proportioned to other facial features such as the nose and eyes.
A hairline that is too high can divert attention from the rest of your face and look like a doll’s head. It can also cause the eyes to look too large or close together, which isn’t desirable for most patients. We can lower your hairline without compromising the proportions of your other facial features to help you achieve a harmonious balance.
Hairline correction can be performed with follicular unit transplantation or other surgical techniques. But no matter what technique is used, it is critical that the number and positioning of follicular units are carefully planned. Each follicular unit is made up of a group of 1-4 follicles. The smaller these groups are, the more natural they will look when they are placed in your scalp. The placement of follicular units will also be influenced by how much hair growth you already have in the forehead area.
For example, a widow’s peak will be less noticeable if the hair transplants are placed in a way that “blends” them with the existing tuft of hair in this area. The goal should be to make the new hairline look completely natural so that it does not draw any attention to itself as a distinctive facial feature.
The right haircut and styling options can also be used to change the look of your hairline. For example, a combover or slicked-back undercut can hide the look of a high hairline. A more dramatic change in the shape of your hairline can be achieved through hairline lowering surgery. This procedure, which is sometimes referred to as forehead reduction, can be very gratifying for patients who struggle with a receding or balding hairline.
