Creating a natural undetectable hairline is the most important and noticeable aspect of successful hair restoration. Done poorly, people can immediate recognize a bad transplant. Done well, people see a natural head of hair. At Northwest Surgical Hair Restoration, Dr. Gabel combines his extensive surgical experience and perfectionist talents to create a hairline design that is aesthetically pleasing and personalized for you.
 
Since no two faces are alike, neither should your hairline. He considers your age, facial features, and personal goals when designing your hairline. In order to create a natural hairline, single hair follicular units are transplanted along the front of the hairline for approximately 0.5 – 1 cm. This type of placement produces a soft look to the hairline. Immediately behind the single hair grafts is the placement of the two hair follicular unit grafts using high density graft placement techniques to produce a transition zone between the soft hairline and the dense central scalp. At the central scalp region, the 3 and 4 hair follicular units are placed to create a fuller, more natural looking appearance.
 
Since the density of a good hair transplant is only about 50% of your normal density, it is important that the surgeon is skilled at placing the grafts to create the illusion of normal density. Through these principles, and orienting the grafts in the proper plane, the end result will appear virtually undetectable and natural.
