When it comes to broad forehead concerns or the M-shaped hairline, where hair sits lower down on the forehead, many female and male patients fix their hairline by a semi-permanent tattoo rather than a hairline correction surgery.
Perhaps it might be because of the concerns about surgeries in general or hearing bad reviews of hairline correction surgeries. However, many people with tattoos on their hairline seem to consult for hairline correction surgery after a while.
At least many clients that Dr. Lee at Mo & Line Plastic Surgery has met were like that.
Why do they go for a correction surgery after tattooing their hairline?
The biggest reason is the fading hairline tattoo.
When the tattoo fades, it makes the tattoo more noticeable. With the grey, ashy color and line visible, they cannot show their forehead anymore.
People will inevitably notice the tattoo from near or far away whenever a light breeze bounces the bang.
It is seemingly a dye on bare skin with no natural hair.
These cases end up wanting to remove the hairline tattoo. Tattoos can be removed mostly by laser treatment.
However, the awkward hairline reappears once the tattoos are gone, giving them stress.
Some people experience falling front hair on the hairline or skin problems.
Once they learn that removing the hairline tattoo is not easy, they search for hairline correction surgeries with hair transplants.
However, some clinics inform them that hairline correction surgeries can be hard on tattooed areas.
Even the clinics that provide hairline tattoos also tell their clients that additional hairline correction surgery is impossible.
That makes you wonder – is it impossible to improve the faded hairline tattoo and awkward hairline shape with a hairline correction surgery?
The answer is no. You can absolutely improve them.
Dr. Lee from Mo&Line Plastic Surgery has been performing satisfying hairline correction surgery on hairline tattoo cases.
Operating on the tattoo areas with a hairline correction surgery itself requires a high level of technique and experience. A significant difference comes from the beginning phase of designing a hairline that fits the entire face and looks natural from the front and sides.
Like designing hairline tattoo, the design should not be on flat skin – unfortunately, some designings are done 2D for hairline correction surgeries apparently.
We design the hairline considering numerous detailed elements, such as the gaps, proportions, and ratios among the eyes, nose, and mouth, rather than simply calculating the forehead property and face balance. It is similar to designing for Facial Skeletal Contouring.
It should enable designing the hairline after the hair is fully grown.
Natural hairline is not just rounded.
Factors like irregular lines, the gradation from baby hair to thicker hair, and density contribute to forming a beautiful hairline.
That’s why the know-how of transplanting the hair to grow that way.
It is crucial in correcting hairline tattoos to have the expertise in harvesting follicles – the seed-looking thing that hair grows from – one by one, even for baby hair, and the high-density hair transplant skill that can cover up the tattoo.
We will continue to share the information specifically related to hair transplants.
