UGraft FUE Hair Restoration for Hairline Lowering. Why and How?
UGraft FUE hair restoration for Hairline lowering is often sought by men or women who are not affected by pattern baldness, but feel that their natural forehead is too high.

In hairline reconstruction surgery balance to facial proportions can be restored by ensuring that the length of the forehead from the top of the eyebrows to the hairline is in harmony with the rest of the face. In women, the hairline would ideally frame the relatively flat surface of the forehead. And if it is higher, the rounded transition  to the top of the head may be visible. And this can give an effect which is reminiscent of baldness, which can be perceived as undermining the femininity of a woman’s face.  UGraft Follicular Unit Extraction is one option for lowering the hairline.

How Does Hairline Lowering Work?

In UGraft FUE surgery, natural clusters of follicles are removed from other areas of the scalp using tiny punches whose diameters are less than a millimeter.  If necessary, body regions can also be used as resources for grafts.

These grafts are then inserted into target regions. The surgeon creates slits at specific angles, directions and orientations to recreate natural hair growth patterns.

The doctor performing FUE hair restoration for Hairline lowering would need to decide on the best position for the new contour. A guideline which is typically used is called the Rule of Thirds.  According to this concept, visual harmony is achieved when three vertical segments of the face are equidistant. Two of these segments are fixed. These include the chin to the tip of the nose and the nose tip to the eyebrows. The distance from the eyebrows to the hairline is variable however. And during a hairline lowering procedure, this can be put into place to achieve the most attractive effect.

With UGraft FUE hair restoration, it is possible to extract thinner hairs from the back of the neck or even around the ears. The surgeon would place these at the very front of the hairline edge to create a natural looking softness. And the actual thickness of the hairs towards the back of the head would then be created as a gradual progression.

The quality of the final results would depend on the doctor’s ability to create a realistic looking hairline.

Follicular Unit Extraction is a much less invasive procedure compared to forehead reduction surgeries where a segment of the upper forehead is removed in order to bring the hairline down
