Abstract

BACKGROUND: Female hairline correction surgery is being more popular among Korean women. However, there has been no report about detailed techniques and methods in secondary female hairline correction surgery. METHODS: The author retrospectively reviewed medical records and medical photos of 36 patients who had secondary hairline correction surgery in one private clinic, with long-term followed up for more than 6 months. RESULTS: All the results were satisfactory and there was no incidence of complications or adverse reactions. Three out of total 36 patients (8.3%) had touch-up procedures for intensifying hair density. The implanted amount for intensifying density was from 86 to 460 hairs, with an average of 286 hairs. All the patients were pleased with the retouching results. CONCLUSIONS: Natural hairline can be accomplished by secondary hairline correction surgery through various methods such as follicular unit extraction, laser hair removal, and new hairline creation with a high degree of delicate transplant techniques.
