title: Creating a hairline.
abstract: The hair mass and especially the frontal hairline comprises the largest visible feature of the face and, as such, is prominently featured in the first impression that one person makes in evaluating another. According to proportions proposed by Michelangelo, the hairline should be located at the junction of the middle and upper thirds of the face. The hairline that a hair transplant surgeon creates is the most highly visible feature, and the quality of the work of a surgeon is most often judged by the quality of the hairline. This article discusses modern grafting techniques and hairline design.
