Q14 How is the position of my hairline determined?

Conclusion

The doctor determines the hairline with you during your consultation, combining your aesthetic preferences with facial proportions, native hair direction, forehead-muscle movement and available donor reserves. We do not use a fixed template.

Men's and women's hairline transplantation, hairline repair and temple adjustment.

Normal hairline and temporal-region density is generally around 40–50 FU/cm² (Keene et al., Hair Transplant Forum Int. 2018;28(1)). Planned density must be compatible with this physiological range and the total donor supply.

The design is strictly limited by total donor reserves. Your desired hairline and the achievable hairline may differ; an excessively low hairline can consume reserves needed in the future.

Bring reference hairstyle photographs to your consultation and ask the doctor to explain the achievable range.
