Female Hairline Hair Transplant Case in Her 50s | Record at About 7 to 11 Months

Women 50s Female

A Taiwanese woman in her 50s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because of thinning along her frontal hairline, hoping to plan hairline coverage. About 7 months and about 11 months after treatment, the case was recorded from the front and from above the forehead; use the sliders below to compare these two time points.

In this case the front view is used to observe the hairline outline and the turn of the temples, and the overhead view of the forehead shows the central hairline, how much scalp is visible and the distribution of native hair. The actual technique, area and graft allocation still need to be assessed by the doctor in person, based on the extent of hair loss, hair calibre, donor supply and the risk of future hair loss.

Female Hairline at About 7 and 11 Months, Two Angles

These two sets of images were taken about 7 months and about 11 months after surgery; they are not a before-and-after comparison. In both sessions the hair was pulled back to show the hairline; hair length, styling, headband position, camera distance and lighting still affect how much scalp is visible.

This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Between the two photo sessions, hair length, styling, headband position, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not exactly the same, which affects how the hairline and scalp appear. Actual recovery and hair growth also vary from person to person.

What Needs to Be Assessed for a Female Hairline Transplant?

The assessment covers hairline position, temple depth, stability of the native hair, the area to be transplanted and donor supply at the back of the scalp. About 7 to 11 months is still an observation phase; further changes and final planning should be judged on individual growth and follow-up assessments.

Want to know how your own hairline could be planned?

Results vary between individuals and depend on native hair density, hair calibre, donor supply and aftercare. Graft counts reflect each patient's own hair loss at the time and are not a fixed recommendation; your plan requires an in-person assessment by the doctor.
