Hairline Reconstruction

Overview

Hairline reconstruction is a surgical procedure that aids in the improvement of the look of the frontal hairline. While performing hairline reconstruction surgery, the patient’s preferences, such as hairline height, scalp laxity, and many other essential aspects, are always kept in mind. A thoughtfully planned and done hairline reconstruction surgery can immediately enhance your appearance and make it more aesthetically appropriate.

Conditions

It is quite natural for hairlines to get higher with age or ‘mature’ and therefore the process of hairline reconstruction aims to restore the natural hairline. Some indications are :
  • Receding hairline
  • High hairline
  • Low hairline
  • Uneven hairline
  • Widow’s peak (distinctive, V-shaped hairline)
  • Lateral hump
  • Wavy or feathery hairline

Reasons & Challenges

What is the reason behind it?

Hairline reconstruction treatment can help you get the ideal hairline to suit your age and face type. The hairline speaks a lot about our attractiveness and vitality. Forehead, which is one of the prominent parts of the face, consists of the frontal hairline. A healthy frontal hairline is the single most important feature that can make your face look ageless. In general, when a person enters their 30s, the hair in the frontal hairline starts decreasing. It makes the hair look less dense and the forehead bigger, thereby deteriorating the look of the entire face.

It is when the need for frontal hairline reconstruction is the best option to consider. The surgery varies from person to person and depends upon two major factors- size of the face and the forehead.

What are the challenges or special considerations while operating in such conditions?

The most important part of hair restoration is planning the hairline. The hairline reconstruction surgery is done in such a way that it suits the best for the patient. Hairline reconstruction needs to be done in such a way that the hairline is neither too low nor too high. Hairline reconstruction surgery is not just about filling in the receding hairline it is also about getting the frame right. Every person’s hairline is different and plays an important role in how they look and how they feel about themselves. To create a new hairline the hair transplant surgeon should have an artistic approach and mimic the natural hairline shape. Hairline reconstruction requires specific qualifications as well as extreme precision and a perfect mastery of the various techniques.

Techniques of Hair Transplant

DHT

Direct Hair Transplant

This is the most advanced technique of hair transplantation. individual grafts are harvested from the donor area using fine punches of calibre less than 1 mm and are transplanted into bald area within 2-20 minutes of harvesting so that grafts do not get damaged during storage process in other techniques like follicular unit extraction (fue) and follicular unit transplantation (fut). Since all the hair grafts survive, maximum density is achieved only with direct hair transplant (dht). This technique does not involve use of sutures/stitches and there is no visible scar after the procedure.

FUE

Follicular Unit Extraction

In follicular unit extraction (fue), each hair graft is removed from the donor region one by one using fine punches, and implanted one by one into the recipient site. the site from where grafts are taken heals in 2-7 days without apparent scarring. this is also stitchless method of hair transplant. the major disadvantage of follicular unit extraction (fue) is long storage time of grafts outside the body (usually 3-6 hours) due to which 10-40% grafts do not survive and grow. this results in poor density and un-natural look after hair transplant.
