Best Hair Transplant for Thinning Crown: This patient continued to have sufficient head donor hair remaining on his head to create an overall donor pool of 3500 grafts. For this patient’s treatment for advanced hairline recession, Dr. Umar performed a Follicular Unit Extraction procedure to harvest hair from both the nape and the scalp to fill in the missing areas of hair loss in the hairline temples and crown. Patients can reliably expect the growth they had invested in due to Dr. Umar’s expertise. Dr. Umar is the inventor of the Dr.UPunch i. His advanced FUE instrumentation is built to account for the most common FUE factors that lead to damaged grafts and failed growth.
With Dr.UPunch I, it is possible to harvest head hair follicles and other grafts like thinner hair from the nape, which is ideal for the outer hairline edge. This is important for creating the smooth and gradual progression needed for exceptionally natural-looking results.
In addition to quality extractions necessary for growth, the best-looking hairline restoration results will depend on the ability of the surgeon to insert carefully crafted slits used to insert the grafts and recreate natural hair growth patterns. For this patient, carefully planned insertions were made in the hairline, temples, and crown.

Frequently Asked Questions – Dr.UGraft™ Treatment for Advanced Hairline Recession
Will Rogaine or Propecia work to restore a receding hairline?
Clinical studies have supported the use of Rogaine and Propecia for crown hair loss. However, from the perspective of many doctors, there is no difference between the hair follicles in the crown or the hairline. Therefore, both drugs could be used to help curb hair thinning and loss in both areas. However, results will be different on an individual basis. And there is no guarantee that the drugs could cause hair to regrow in the hairline, remarkably if the hair follicles have miniaturized to where the hair production processes have stopped.
Is scalp micropigmentation an adequate treatment for an advanced hairline recession?
The use of pigment to simulate shaved hair stubble should not be juxtaposed with regions of existing hair as a treatment for advanced hairline recession. There would be a stark contrast between both areas in such a case, which would be highly noticeable. Scalp micro pigmentation is best done on a wholly bald or shaved head. It can also be done to supplement the density of a hair restoration procedure.
At what point am I considered to be too young for a hairline restoration? Is it possible to get the best hairline transplant surgery possible in your 20s?
Although many clinics will adhere to stringent age guidelines, age itself is not the sole determinant of whether or not someone should undergo a hair transplant procedure. To aid in deciding if a young adult qualifies for a hair transplant, Dr. Umar has developed his Shave Test diagnostic tool to see whether or not a patient is likely to reach a Norwood 7 stage of hair loss and would, therefore, require the use of body hair. Likewise, The Shave Test could also determine if the use of head hair alone would be sufficient to produce quality, long-term results. Knowing this information in advance is necessary for knowing if a particular individual can benefit from treatment for advanced hairline recession earlier in life rather than later.
