My Transplanted Hairline Was Too Low
im 22 and had 500 grafts done in my receding temples about 6 months ago. i experienced severe MPB at 18-19 and hairloss had been stable since then. the hairline was carefully marked by myself before the surgery so i cannot blame the doc, but now i feel it could have been 1/2 further up. the hair are very fine and not very dense, just as i wanted them on temples(not too dense, just enough to cover). in the future can these be moved 1.2 up??
Not really. It is very difficult to move transplanted hair. I tell patients that transplanted hair is always permanent and that is why it should be done right the first time. If removal was to be attempted, it would have to be done with a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. You can have a brow lift which will give you a higher hairline, moving the transplanted hair upwards, but that is fairly radical surgery for someone of your age.
I am disturbed that some doctor would transplant a 22 year old and that the hairline would be placed low. The fact that there were only 500 grafts also disturbs me, because it indicates that the balding is not severe. Were you on Propecia? If not, then there is clear malpractice here. You need an expert to assess your situation.
A hair transplant is for life. That is why I constantly emphasize the Master Plan in hair restoration. To achieve the maximum cosmetic benefit from hair restoration surgery, a personalized Master Plan should combine the best information available with a realistic assessment of what your future hair loss may be. It is an integral part of the patient-doctor relationship.
Hi im 22 and i had my hair transplanted about 4 months ago. I have a few conserns that always stress me out ever since i got the transplant. The type of hairloss i had was not savere, it just reaceded and stoped so now i look like i have my dads widows peak hairline and i hate it so much. i can never do my hair like i used to. The problem is i think the docters at bosly made it to hight becase 4 months later it looks like its the same hairline, they even started to argue with me when i asked them to make it look less like a widows peek. The line they drew was almost the same to my widows peak. i still look like i have a widows peek and i spent $7400.00 on the transplant and no change. Every day i look at my hair and it stresses me out more then before the transplant. Is there anyway i can convince them to transplant more hair after i wait the 8 months into the widows peak hairline. I spent alot of money and if my hairline is going to look the same and prevent me from growing my hair long like i used to then i will lose all my confidence. And im not joking. Hair means alot to me. and i want it long againe but if im going to grow it againe and still look like im balding then what a waiste. So far all i got from this was an empty promise, a broken dream and alot of emotional suffering.
