Hairline Design

The hairline above the forehead is perhaps the most characteristic element in the human face, comparable to characteristic eyes or the prominent position of the nose. It is therefore no wonder that a receding hairline can negatively influence someone's appearance quite dramatically. This is as spectacular is the re-making, the creation of a new natural hairline.

It is a delicate matter, for only a perfect result is acceptable. The hairline must look completely natural; any deviation is unacceptable. There is no such thing as 'almost natural' or 'a little bit unnatural'; in these cases they actually equal unnatural and thus unsatisfactory.

Indeed, small details lead directly to a hairline that looks unnatural.

For example, the use of only a few double hair transplants (the combination of two roots) can clearly create a doll's hair-like effect.

Even when only visible in a few spots, the wrong distances between hair that has been implanted, whether too regular, or too far apart, can have a disastrous effect.

There are two ways in which an unnatural looking hairline may constitute a personal disaster:

- On the one hand the prominent place the hairline plays in an individual's face as already discussed above, makes an unnatural looking hairline very noticeable and therefore nearly impossible to hide. In view of the fact that it is an ongoing situation, in some cases the resulting mental stress is worse than the initial suffering due to baldness

- On the other hand, correction of an unnatural hairline is difficult and time consuming, and in many cases requires more than one treatment session

The natural results of a transplanted hairline therefore takes the highest priority. It requires a great deal of aptitude, many years of experience and last but not least, artistic talents and a well developed sense of aesthetics on the part of the doctor in question.
