What is the Golden Ratio Line?

The golden ratio drawing is one of the hypotheses applied scientifically in the world. When the person's head is viewed horizontally, it is divided into 3 parts. Based on this, the distances between the person's forehead, nose tip and chin tip are equal to each other.

 

Considering these ratios, the front line of the person is determined. This is the most natural technique. That's why we achieve perfection in appearance. Measurements may vary for each person. Another important factor is the aesthetic surgery perspective of the person.

Hair transplant operations, like all other surgical operations, are very important. The operation is performed by prioritizing the health and aesthetic appearance of the person who will have hair transplantation. From this point of view, we can say that naturalness is an important criterion.

​​​

Ensuring naturalness in hair transplantation is directly proportional to 3 factors.

  • The density and density of the transplanted hair,

  • Planting direction, angle and

  • Planning the anterior hairline.

In order to realize these three factors, the doctor who will do the hair transplant works carefully during the long operation and grafts It places them one by one at the right places at the right angles.

The person whose hair analysis is done, The adequacy of the hair in the donor area , the number and quality of the grafts, the distribution of the hair towards the areas where the hair is shed, and the anterior hairline location before hair transplant operation planned by the doctor.

What is Front Hairline (Forehead Aperture)?

The front hairline (front forehead line) is the point where the forehead and hair meet in the front of the head area. The location of the front hairline and accordingly the width of the forehead changes according to the characteristic features of the face. Although each person's front hairline is different from each other, the front hairline has certain characteristics. The front hairline, which can vary according to age, gender and the structure of the face, can make the person look younger or older.

Hair loss Even in people who do not live, the front hairline may be behind what it should be, and this forehead opening in the person may disturb the person in some cases. At this point where what is and what should be separated, the "golden ratio" comes into play.

2 criteria should be considered in the planning of the front hairline (front forehead line):

1. Age Factor,

2. Golden Ratio.

Studies have shown that people focus on hair and forehead opening just after the level of skin wrinkles when estimating their age. In cases where the front hairline is behind, the person may look older. The fact that the front hairline is ahead can also cause the aesthetic elements of the face to be destroyed, which spoils the naturalness. Considering the age factor while determining the front hairline ensures that these problems are eliminated.

The second criterion, the "golden ratio", is the most important criterion of all aesthetic operations today. Here the “must have” is planned. As a result of the detailed analysis of the face shape of the person, the most aesthetically appropriate front hairline is determined without ignoring the old forehead line.

How Are Measurements Made?

The front hairline, which will affect our appearance so much, is determined during the planning of the hair transplant operation. Measurement and determination should only be made by a doctor. For the front hairline measurement, which starts between the two eyebrows, the required forehead opening area is determined. A 7 cm middle area is determined from the point where the hairy area starts to the skin border and this is considered as the place where the front hairline starts.

During the measurement,

  • Hair clearance is evaluated according to the efficiency of the donor area,

  • The wishes of the person who will have hair transplantation,

  • Whether the person's hair loss process continues,

  • person's age,

  • The head and face structure of the person should be taken into account.

In people with very intense hair loss and in people with advanced age, pulling the forehead line a little higher will increase the naturalness.

For people with existing hair less than 7 cm, the measurement is slightly changed and a new V-shaped front hairline is created, taking into account the face and head structure.

The natural shape of the front hairline is slightly likened to the letter V. Within this hairline, each person has a unique hair direction and hair arrangement.

 

How to Fix Hairline?

Since this area is at eye level and in the front, it is much more important than other planting areas. The angle and direction of the grafts planted in the anterior hair region are important in hair transplantation operation. In this area, hair strands cannot be placed in a single row. In order to avoid this situation, which will disrupt the aesthetics, the hair strands are arranged in a mixed and natural system. The fact that the front hairline sequence contains some asymmetrics creates a more aesthetic appearance.
