A patient in his mid-to-late 50s presented with severe temple recession and frontal thinning. His documented treatment used 3,433 FUE grafts to lower, redesign and restore the hairline and temples, with PRP and exosomes recorded as adjunct treatments.
FUE Hairline Lowering Before and After
This case documents the patient's starting hairline, immediate postoperative graft placement and subsequent result following a 3,433-graft FUE procedure.
The treatment focused on lowering and redesigning the frontal hairline while restoring recession through the temple regions.
Norwood 3 Hair Loss With Frontal Thinning and Temple Recession
The patient was documented as having Norwood Class 3 hair loss, with severe recession through the temple regions and thinning across the frontal scalp.
His treatment plan focused on lowering and redesigning the frontal hairline while restoring the recessed temples.
3,433 FUE Grafts for Hairline Lowering and Temple Restoration
The documented procedure used 3,433 FUE grafts to lower, redesign and restore the patient's hairline and temples.
PRP and exosomes were also documented as adjunct treatments in this case. Because the available record does not isolate their effect from the hair transplant itself, no independent growth or timing benefit is attributed to either adjunct.
Hairline Lowering
The surgical plan lowered and redesigned the frontal hairline as part of the restoration.
Temple Restoration
Grafts were also used to address the patient's documented temporal recession and rebuild the frontal frame.
Hairline and Temple Result at 9 Months
The documented follow-up result was photographed at approximately 9 months after the procedure. These additional views show the restored frontal hairline and temple regions from several angles.
Frontal Before-and-After Comparison
A frontal comparison provides another view of the change in the patient's hairline position and frontal framing following the procedure.

A 3,433-Graft Plan Focused on the Frontal Frame
This patient provides a documented example of a graft count in the 3,500-graft range being used primarily to lower and reconstruct the hairline and restore the temples.
The graft total should not be interpreted as a standard requirement for hairline lowering or for every Norwood 3 patient. Appropriate graft planning depends on the patient's starting pattern, recipient area, donor resources, existing native hair, hair characteristics and restoration goals.
Understanding This FUE Hairline-Lowering Case
How many grafts were used?
The documented procedure used 3,433 FUE grafts.
What areas were treated?
The procedure lowered and redesigned the frontal hairline and restored the patient's recessed temples.
What was the patient's hair-loss classification?
The patient was documented as having Norwood Class 3 hair loss with severe temple recession and frontal thinning.
When were the result photographs taken?
The case documents a result at approximately 9 months after the procedure.
Were PRP and exosomes used?
Yes. PRP and exosomes are documented as adjunct treatments in this case. The available evidence does not isolate their contribution from the FUE procedure, so a specific effect on growth speed or outcome is not assigned to either treatment.
Does hairline lowering always require about 3,400 grafts?
No. Graft requirements depend on the amount of hairline movement, the size of the recipient area, temple involvement, existing native hair, donor resources, hair characteristics and the goals of the individual restoration.

Your Hair Restoration Plan Is Individual
Graft count is only one part of planning. Your hair-loss pattern, treatment areas, existing native hair, donor resources and long-term goals all influence the appropriate approach.
