    TLDR The document concludes that hair doctors should explain hair loss progression to patients and recommend suitable hairline heights to prevent future issues and maintain a natural look.
    The document discusses common issues with hairline transplants, such as an unreasonably low hairline, unnatural hair flow, poor follicle survival rate, and lack of consideration for progressive hair loss in younger patients with a family history of androgenetic alopecia. It highlights that patients often request an extremely low hairline, which can lead to facial disproportionality, additional hair loss behind the new hairline, and inadequate hairs in the donor site. The article emphasizes the importance of hair doctors explaining the progress of hair loss to patients and recommending an appropriate height for the hairline to preserve the follicle reservoir for future needs. It also presents a practical approach to managing these cosmetic problems following a previous hairline transplant.
