Frontal hairline
A receded frontal hairline and thinning temples, rebuilt to a lower, denser front line. Photographed at six months, so the result was still filling in when the second picture was taken.

Before & after results
Every photograph below is a Hairline International patient, taken at the clinic before surgery and again at follow-up. Each case states the graft count and how many months after surgery the second photograph was taken. Nothing is retouched, and before and after are shot in the same place under the same light. Where a patient asked not to be recognised, the face is blurred; the hair and scalp are left untouched.
Published with the patients' consent. Results vary – graft count, donor supply and the extent of loss differ in every case, and none of these is a prediction for yours.
Crown and mid-scalp
Extensive crown loss covered in a single session. The patient wore his hair long beforehand to disguise it and cut it short once there was something to show.

Full scalp
Norwood 7 – the most advanced pattern on the scale, and the limiting factor is donor supply rather than technique. Treated across two procedures eight months apart, photographed six months after the second.

Reading a results gallery
What these photographs can and cannot tell you
A gallery is a selection, and every clinic's is. What makes one useful is whether the pairs are comparable: same angle, same light, same place, and a stated interval between them. That is why each case here says how many months elapsed rather than just "after".
What it cannot tell you is what your own result would be. That is decided by how much donor hair you have and how much area needs covering. It is why the assessment matters more than the gallery. It is also why we will tell you when surgery is not the right route for you.
