Hairline restoration
Hairline Transplant
A hairline transplant can help restore the frontal hairline and temples where recession, thinning or a naturally high hairline affects facial framing.
Harley Street Hair Transplants provides consultation-led hairline restoration planning, including FUE, DHI, donor-area assessment, graft-number discussion, cost guidance, recovery planning and realistic expectations.
Hairline restoration example. Individual results vary.
Planning the hairline
A good hairline is not just a low hairline
Natural framing
The aim is to create a hairline that suits the patient’s face, age, hair characteristics and future hair-loss pattern. A design that is too low or too sharp can look unnatural later.
Hairline work needs careful placement of single-hair grafts, soft irregularity, correct angles and sensible density planning.
What should be checked?
- current recession pattern;
- donor-area strength;
- hair calibre and curl;
- temple recession;
- age and likely future hair loss;
- graft numbers and expected density;
- whether FUE, DHI, medication or PRP may be discussed.
Treatment options
FUE and DHI hairline transplant planning
FUE Hairline Transplant
FUE involves removing individual follicular units from the donor area and placing them into planned recipient sites along the frontal hairline.
For hairline restoration, graft selection, angle, direction and single-hair placement are especially important.

DHI may be discussed for selected patients where implanter-device placement is suitable for the hairline plan.
The right method depends on donor supply, treatment area, hair type, graft numbers and the design required.

Who may be suitable?
Receding hairline
Patients with frontal recession may be suitable if the donor area is strong and the design is planned conservatively.
Temple recession
Temple work requires careful planning because overly sharp or low temple points can look unnatural.
High hairline
Hairline lowering may be possible for selected patients, depending on donor supply and realistic design.
Female hairline
Female hairline restoration requires careful diagnosis and a different planning approach from typical male-pattern recession.
Revision work
Revision or density improvement may be possible in selected cases, depending on donor availability and previous work.
Not always suitable
Some patients may need medical treatment, monitoring or an alternative plan before surgery is considered.
Cost guidance
How much does a hairline transplant cost?

Common questions
Hairline Transplant FAQs
What is a hairline transplant?
A hairline transplant moves suitable donor hair into the frontal hairline and, where appropriate, temple areas to improve the appearance of recession or a high hairline.
Is FUE or DHI better for a hairline transplant?
Neither is automatically better for every patient. The right method depends on your donor area, hair type, graft requirements, treatment area and surgical planning.
Can a hairline be lowered?
Hairline lowering may be possible for selected patients, but the design must be realistic, age-appropriate and safe for long-term donor management.
Will the result look natural?
A natural-looking result depends on design, graft selection, angle, direction, density, donor quality, healing and growth. Results vary between patients.
How many grafts do I need?
Graft numbers depend on the size of the area, hairline shape, density goals, donor area and whether the temples are included.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Growth, density, healing and final appearance vary between patients. A consultation can explain what may be realistic for your case.
