Hairline Reconstruction Surgery

Introduction to Hairline Reconstruction

Hairline reconstruction is a surgical procedure which allows a person to have their frontal hairline advanced, depending on variables such as pre-operative hairline height, patient preference and scalp laxity.

Hairline is the most visible and noticeable part of an individual’s head. In the late 30s, men are usually susceptible to suffer hair loss from the frontal hairline. Hairline placement requirements vary from person to person depending upon the size of face and forehead. Hair loss from the frontal hairline may be hereditary or induced by lifestyle. However, most people are prone to have this problem after attaining 30 years.

In the 40s, the hair loss may progress and make the frontal hairline even less dense. Therefore, an early hair reconstruction is needed to tackle this.How the Height of Headline can be Determined?

How is the Height of Headline determined?

The frontal headline height can be determined in numerous ways:

• It can be placed about seven to eight centimeters or three inches over the eye brows.
• The hairline may be drawn four fingers over the eye brows.
• It may be placed two fingers over the highest eye brow wrinkle.

The lateral hairline can be placed in line with the exterior of the individual’s eye called lateral canthus. A universal belief in frontal hairline placement is that the adult hairline is somewhat higher than the adolescent hairline. Natural appearance and proper angle of implantation on the frontal hairline plays a very significant role for the looks of the patient.

What are the Techniques and Procedure used for Hair Line Reconstruction?

o create the artistic hairline your doctor will discuss and ask your opinion to draw a new hairline which will be most suitable for your face. To create a hairline which results in undetectable hair transplant, the surgeon has to mimic the mother nature of hairline by using an artistic approach. He has to mimic the natural hairline shapes (temporal points, widow’s peaks/tufts, lateral humps, wavy and feathery hairlines, etc.) and alter the shape and contour of the hairline according to the patient’s face, age and desired result.

Special care must be given towards the orientation, angulation and position of each graft in order to achieve results which look natural. The best technique to place a hairline is to measure the distance between the nose and eyes and the same distance shall be kept between the headline and eyebrows. This will keep the reconstruction and the appearance balanced.

Following are the hair transplant techniques used for hairline reconstruction:

Follicular unit extraction (FUE)

In FUE, anesthesia is given to the patient to numb the pain. Then the slits are made in the recipient area for implantation of grafts. The grafts are extracted from the donor area which can be the back of the scalp, chest or beard and are transplanted into the slits. This method is scarless and does not cause much pain during or in the recovery period of surgery.

Direct Hair Transplant

In this technique, the hair follicles are implanted one by one directly to the recipient area. Each hair follicle is placed in a particular direction, depth and angle. This technique produces 100% natural results when performed in a meticulous manner.
