Get back a hairline that frames your face
A receding hairline is one of the most visible signs of hair loss — the forehead starts to look bigger and the face looks older.
Hairline reconstruction is a hair transplant that focuses on the front of the scalp. Healthy grafts are taken from the donor area and implanted along a carefully designed hairline, giving you a natural and youthful look.
Only when you are satisfied with the hairline design does our team begin the procedure. The result is a permanent, natural-looking hairline.
How a receding hairline differs in men and women
In men
A receding hairline is usually part of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), starting at the temples and moving back over time.
In women
Less common and often linked to hormonal changes, stress, tight hairstyles or certain medical conditions.
The emotional effect
Because it is so visible, a receding hairline can affect self-esteem, confidence and quality of life.
What we consider when designing your hairline
- Shape of your face and forehead
- Your age — and how the hairline should look as you get older
- Your current grade of hair loss and likely future progression
- Hair texture, colour and direction of growth
- Available grafts in the donor area
- Your goals, profession and personal style
The front row uses single-hair grafts placed with slight irregularity — this is what makes a transplanted hairline look soft and natural instead of straight and artificial.

Hairline reconstruction — FAQs
What is hairline reconstruction?
Hairline reconstruction is a hair transplant focused on the front hairline. Healthy grafts from the donor area are implanted to recreate a natural, youthful hairline and reduce a large forehead.
Will my new hairline look natural?
Yes. The hairline is designed around your face shape, age and hair type, with single-hair grafts at the front and irregular spacing, just like a natural hairline.
Can women get hairline reconstruction?
Yes. Women with a high forehead or thinning at the front can benefit. The hairline shape for women is designed differently from men.
Is the result permanent?
Yes. The grafts come from the permanent donor zone and keep growing for life.
How many grafts does a hairline need?
It depends on how far the hairline has receded and the density you want. Typically it ranges from around 800 to 2,000 grafts. The exact number is decided after consultation.
Can I choose my hairline?
Yes. The hairline is drawn on your scalp before the procedure and changed until you are happy with it, within what is realistic for your donor area and age.
