Male Hairline Lowering - 2800 Grafts Hair Transplant

Several factors such as aging, genetics, excessive styling of the hair like pulling the hair very tight can make the hairline recede. This leads to having a large forehead as the hairline is now pulled back.

Many individuals (men and females) with a receding hairline start looking for options to get back their old hairline and reduce the size of their forehead. 

While some, especially women, undergo a forehead reduction surgery, other people look for a less invasive procedure such as hairline transplant. 

So, what is this procedure and how is it done?

What is a hairline transplant?

Hairline transplant is a procedure which aims at restoring a receding hairline for men and women. It is performed by transferring hair follicles from the back of the head known as the "donor area" and transplanting it into the balding areas. 

The procedure is done under local anesthesia and lasts about 4-5 hours depending on the number of grafts that will be implanted.

How many grafts are needed to restore a hairline?

Since the hairline area is relatively small, an estimated number of 2000-2500 grafts is enough to restore the receding hairline. 

Sometimes 3000 grafts might be needed for cases with excessive recession in the hairline.  

Hairline Transplant Recovery

Full recovery after a hairline transplant takes about 10-14 days. This is the time needed for all the side effects to disappear. 

However, most people can go back to work 5-7 days after their hair transplant. 

During this time they must be very careful with the newly transplanted grafts. This means no touching, picking off scabs or covering the head with caps or any other head gears. 

Hairline Transplant Cost

Since hair transplant in some western countries like the US, the UK and Europe charge per graft, the cost of hairline transplant cost starts from $8,000. While hairline transplant in Turkey costs are fixed and starts from $1,650.
