Background: Hair transplantation has undergone enormous changes since the 1950�??s when Norman Orentreich transplanted 2-4 mm grafts. These grafts produced unnatural doll like hair in the hairline. This was not acceptable to the patients and as the concept of follicular unit transplantation came into vogue, the hairline designing improved considerably and mimicked the natural hairline as much as possible. Method: We studied the hairline designing of 100 consecutive male patients one year post hair transplantations. The parameters that were studied included cobble stoning, pitting, frontal point, F-T recession, temporal points (if any) micro and macro irregularities, patient satisfaction and physician assessment. We harvested the grafts using FUE technique. The punch used was 0.9 mm serrated punch. The grafts were placed by using 19 G and 20 G needle. The hairline was designed using the standard techniques and placement of hairline was as per donor recipient ratio. Result: This study was a retrospective study on 100 male patients. The only cosmetic concern in 2% of the study group was the cobble stoning. Piting was absent in the study group. More than 90% patients were highly satisfied with their hairline. The physician assessment also rated the quality of hairline as excellent in >90% of the study group. Conclusion: The standard technique of hairline design should be followed while designing a hairline in hair restoration surgery. 19 G and 20 G needles are excellent and low cost instruments that can be used to produce a natural hair line.
