Abstract
The hairline consists of both the frontal and temple hairline, and the best cosmetic effect occurs when one balances the other. In patients with extensive hair loss, that is, Norwood class VI, it is best to design a higher frontal hairline that matches the existing temples because most Asians do not have sufficient donor hair to provide cosmetic density for a low frontal hairline and the temple work is needed to balance a lower hairline.
