I’ve Had 8 Transplants Over 20 Years and Can Still See My Scalp Under Harsh Light

Hello there,
I hope you can help me please? I am 51 yrs old and over the last 20 years have had about 8 hair transplants, the last one being a FUE procedure in London approx one year ago. I have an average height hairline which had around 1400 grafts to thicken the frontal area.

Under normal light my hair (which is quite short and brushed back) does not appear thin, but under sunlight and house lights I can see through virtually the whole top. I have a good crown and temple peaks which have not receded at all.

My Q’s are – could the hair be taken from my temple peaks and from the front hairline to move it approx one half inch back on my head then place all these hairs on the top to thicken that area further?

Also, could a small area, say half a centimetre be taken from around the bottom rear of my hairline extending over my ears, with a view to putting these hairs on the top of my head too ?

Thankyou for any reply you send me. Regards

That seems like awfully too many hair transplant surgeries. Added to that, if you are still considering having more surgeries it sends a huge red flag. I read your requests and it seems a bit too drastic, but also note that I do not know your history or even know your ultimate expectations (as 8 surgeries in the past did not fulfill them), so I am just speaking in generalities based on your one email.

Perhaps you are trying to set a goal you will never achieve or had surgeons that never developed a Master Plan for you? Again, this is a generalization and I really cannot answer your question in detail without a private consultation. You may have many options once you are evaluated, such as Scalp MicroPigmentation to increase the appearance of fullness (see example) if you are running out of donor hair to harvest.

We do not harvest hair from 1/2 centimeter around the bottom of the ear and hairlines.
