Why “Less” is sometimes “More” For Hair Transplant Hairline Reconstruction and Naturalness
Category: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) , FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) , Hair Density , Hair Loss Blog , Hair Transplant SurgeryCreating a dense, natural looking hairline is one of the most important considerations in hair transplant surgery for many men and women suffering from hair loss and baldness.
Super high density hairlines of over 70 FU/cm2 (follicular units) and hair transplants are often hyped online. But are this many follicular units required to reconstruct a natural looking hairline? What are the drawbacks of using too many follicular units in the hairline both in terms of naturalness and grafts available for subsequent hair restoration sessions? What are other important considerations for creating a natural looking hairline?
On this hair loss forum topic, patient and physician members share their input and experience on this very important subject. You are encouraged to join in this discussion and contribute yours.
