Hairline correction is one of the most common surgical procedures performed on the face. The goal of this procedure is to lower the scalp’s frontal hairline and reduce a large forehead. Other names for this surgical procedure include forehead reduction and scalp advancement. The surgical technique for lowering the hairline is called a follicular unit transplant (FUT). This is a very sophisticated technique requiring significant skill and experience. The art of creating a natural-looking hairline is extremely important and should complement the patient’s facial features.
There are many factors that influence the shape and size of an individual’s hairline, including age and genetics. The defining feature of a mature hairline is the slanting pattern that begins with a slight incline and gradually descends as the head grows older. The shape and positioning of an individual’s forehead can also be a factor, especially when it is larger or shorter than the surrounding area. In general, a higher forehead is considered more masculine while a lower forehead is considered more feminine.강남헤어라인
A patient with a low hairline may be interested in at-home or medical treatments to make their hairline look more pronounced. Some people are able to achieve this with the use of certain medications or by getting creative with their styling, but a permanent solution is possible with hair transplants. While this can be a very satisfying procedure, patients must choose a surgeon who is highly experienced and understands the importance of achieving an attractive, natural-looking hairline.
During a Hairline surgery, we are careful to mark the exact location where we wish to place the transplanted follicles. A zig-zag pattern is used to closely mimic the slanting pattern of a normal, mature hairline, resulting in a natural-looking new hairline. The entire procedure is performed under a local or general anaesthetic, and the patient can return home to recover in the comfort of their own homes.
It is also necessary to determine the exact location of the scalp’s natural hairline. This is done by drawing a vertical line just in front of the ear, where it intersects with the part line area, and then marking another point 2 cm in front of that spot. The temporal peak, or brow-level hairline is then connected to this point to create the proper placement of the new hairline.무모증모발이식
Some individuals are born with a naturally higher hairline, but have adhesions during embryonic development that prevent the scalp from moving to a lower position. For this reason, some patients require a tissue expander in order to lower the scalp to its natural, lower position. During your initial office visit or virtual consultation, we will assess whether or not you need a tissue expander and can explain the procedure in more detail.
