Male Hairline Transplant Case | Front View About 4 to 15 Months After Surgery
A man in his 30s came to Dr. Wen-Yi Wu for a hair transplant assessment because his frontal hairline was receding and both temples sat high. He hoped to redesign the outline of his forehead. After surgery the case was recorded from the front at about 4 months and about 15 months; use the slider below to compare the hairline at these two points.
This case uses the front view to show the hairline height, both temples and the middle of the forehead. The actual technique, treatment 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.
Male Hairline Front View at About 4 and 15 Months
These images were taken about 4 months and about 15 months after surgery; they are not a before-and-after comparison. At about 4 months the transplanted area was still in an early growth stage. At about 15 months there is more hair at the front, but it is longer and combed forward, partly covering the forehead. Both photos were taken by the patient, with different camera distance, head angle, lighting and background, all of which affect how visible the hairline and scalp are. The eyes have been masked to protect the patient's privacy.
Drag to compare
This is a photo record of a single case and does not mean everyone will achieve the same result. Transplanted hair usually grows in gradually over several months to more than a year, and recovery speed varies; hair length, combing direction, head angle, camera distance and lighting were not the same at the two points, which affects how the hairline and scalp appear.
What Needs to Be Assessed for a Male Hairline Transplant?
The assessment covers the intended hairline position, the depth and curve of both temples, whether native hair at the front is still thinning, and the donor supply at the back of the scalp. The months up to and beyond one year after surgery are still an observation period, and any later changes or adjustments should be judged from individual growth and follow-up visits.
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.
