When you think about hair restoration (for men and women), the design of your hairline is just as important as the number of grafts. A well-designed hairline doesn’t just fill in thinning areas — it frames your face, restores balance, and helps ensure your results look authentic at every stage of life.

At Keystone Cosmetic Surgery Center, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Kimmel brings over 20 years of experience to every procedure. Serving patients in Pottsville and Hazleton, Dr. Kimmel combines surgical precision with artistic detail to create natural, lasting results that restore both hair and confidence.

The Art and Science of Hairline Design

Designing a hairline is both technical and artistic. On the technical side, your surgeon must understand how hair naturally grows and how it will continue to thin over time. On the artistic side, your surgeon must create a shape that complements your unique features.

A straight, low hairline may look unnatural on someone with a mature face, while a hairline that’s too high may not deliver the rejuvenated appearance you want. The goal is to create a soft, irregular pattern at the front with density that gradually increases—mimicking the way hair grows naturally.

Age and Future Hair Loss Considerations

One of the most important elements of hairline design is planning for the future. Your hair restoration should look natural not only now but also ten or twenty years from now. That’s why experienced surgeons like Dr. Kimmel design hairlines with aging in mind, often placing them slightly higher and in a pattern that will remain consistent as you mature.

If you’re younger and just beginning to experience thinning, Dr. Kimmel may recommend a more conservative hairline placement to account for progressive loss. This prevents the need for overly aggressive corrections later.

Personalization Is Key

No two hairlines are alike. The best results are achieved by tailoring the design to your head shape, forehead size, and natural hair growth patterns. For patients with curly or wavy hair, the hairline can be slightly different than for those with straight hair, since texture influences how full the results appear.
