This level 3 hair loss patient came to Dr. Umar looking for a conservative hair restoration, a natural looking soft hairline, and no linear scarring. Dr. Umar used 1450 grafts derived from the patient’s nape and head to achieve these goals. After 8 months, it can be seen from the video that the hairline is already very soft and natural.
Hair transplants are usually performed to mimic the characteristics of a NW 2 hairline. NW 2 means that the hairline has thinned somewhat already but still looks healthy. The front of a thinning hairline should be very soft, and this softness is rarely achievable by using traditional head donor hair. Therefore, the soft texture of nape hair makes it the most efficient form of donor hair to create the most natural looking hairline. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the process that Dr. Umar uses to create natural hairlines because FUE avoids the problem of creating a linear scar, which is the main issue that results from strip surgery.
