Case Study: Confronting the Challenge of a High Female Hairline
Patient Profile
Confronting the challenge of a high hairline, this female patient approached our clinic seeking effective treatment options.
Many women suffer from high hairlines, either due to receding hairlines as a result of female pattern baldness or because they were born with hairlines that do not frame their faces correctly. The patient was very self-conscious about her high hairline and was looking for ways to address it.
The Challenge
The patient presented several challenges that needed to be overcome to provide an artistic and aesthetically superb result:
- High Contrast: The high contrast between the patient’s hair color and skin color necessitated high graft density to achieve good coverage.
- Thin Hair in the frontal area: The patient had very thin hair, which required expertise to create a frontal hairline that appears soft, graduated, and absolutely natural.
- Frontal Hairline Reconstruction: The patient’s frontal hairline had an extensive cowlick that needed to be reconstructed to look natural. This is a daunting task, suitable only for highly experienced surgeons.
Hair Transplant Strategy
A frontal hair transplant was planned to address the high hairline. Using 1,765 grafts, equating to 3,659 hairs, they were strategically placed in the frontal area and between her existing hairs.
The goals were:
- To create naturalness and good coverage
- To frame her face appropriately by reducing the distance between her frontal hairline and eyebrows
End Results
The surgery delivered outstanding results:
- Natural Appearance: The patient’s new hairline looked natural and undetectable.
- Increased Confidence: The transformation significantly boosted the patient’s confidence and well-being.
- Positive Feedback:* Friends commented positively about her new, improved appearance.
The patient is extremely happy with the results, which have left her with a more aesthetically pleasing hairline that frames her face beautifully.
