Alopecia is the process of hair loss. Hair loss can occur for different reasons, which can be discussed during your free consultation. The most common form is male and female pattern alopecia which is still poorly understood. It is important to realize that the hair on the sides and back of the scalp of even severe cases of alopecia are somewhat immune to this process. This is precisely the area that hair is harvested during hair transplantation. Alopecia can be due to metabolic anomalies that can be evaluated by Dr. Zacco during a scheduled treatment appointment.

What is a hair transplantation?

Even significantly balding men and women will have relatively thick hair on the sides and back of the scalp. This is because the follicles in this region are genetically programmed to resist the usual cause of hair loss. Hair transplantation is a process in which the hair follicles and its surrounding tissue, a graft, is surgically removed from the back and/or sides of the scalp and transplanted where it is needed. The transplanted follicles usually survive for life and therefore the process is usually permanent. The transplanted tissue, or graft, is living tissue we obtain from you that continues to grow hair for life requiring regular haircuts and will gray naturally. It is your living and growing hair, surgically moved. At AZ Hair Restoration, we employ a combination of proven techniques. We don’t believe that one method of hair transplantation fits all. We utilize several different methods to best fit the individual patient. Sometimes we will use two different techniques on the same patient. This requires more effort, experience, and training. At AZ Hair Restoration, we feel our patients deserve the best.

What is the cost of hair transplantation?

The total surface area and severity of alopecia is different from person to person. During your free consultation, Dr. Arthur Zacco will openly and honestly outline the cost and individualized plan for you. There will be no hidden costs. Financing is available for those who qualify.

How successful is hair transplantation?

Very successful. The vast majority of transplanted grafts survive and AZ Hair Restoration is known for producing a natural appearing transplantation that is virtually undetectable. If requested, we have previous patients available from all walks of life that have graciously made themselves available to talk or meet with you. Dr. Zacco has been performing HT surgery in Wake County since 1997.

Can anything be done about large noticeable plugs I have as a result of a hair transplant at another facility?

Dr. Arthur Zacco have been performing corrective hair transplantation from other clinics for years and finds it personally and professionally rewarding. If the grafts are very large in the hairline, part of them can be moved to another area to make the plugs smaller. Also, smaller grafts can be performed around of preexisting large plugs providing the patient with a more natural appearing hairline.

Can anything be done about the scar in my mustache from a cleft palate surgery?

Scars in hair bearing areas can be camouflaged by transplanting your own living and growing hair directly into the scar. This is useful with scars of the scalp, mustache (scar from surgery to repair cleft palate), beard, eyebrow, and pubic region (caused from burns, surgery, or trauma).

Will I have much pain?

As with any skin procedure, there is some degree of discomfort. We make every effort to minimize the level of discomfort. We use our Ouchless Injection Technique and Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas). Almost all patients inform us afterward that they experienced much less discomfort than they had anticipated. After the procedure there will be minimal discomfort.

There are so many different hair transplant techniques -Which one is the best?

Performing hair transplants in Wake County since 1997, Dr. Arthur Zacco has mastered all hair transplant techniques; FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), Strip FU (Follicular Unit), Strip Linear MFU (Multi Follicular Unit), eyebrow hair transplantation, beard and mustache hair transplantation, and even the metabolic work up for alopecia. Dr. Zacco can use one or more techniques in a single hair transplantation to assure the best possible results for your unique situation.

Uneven Hairline in Men, What the Cause?

Date28 Dec 2020

Posted Byonpageseo

You may notice you have an uneven hairline when you look in the mirror or see yourself in a photo. One area of your hair seems a bit higher than the other. Or, one side appears thinner or to have some other unique quality when compared to the other. This asymmetry is not your imagination. It is actually a common problem for men of all ages.

Is an uneven hairline serious?

Uneven Hairline Uneven hair does not always point to hair loss. Sometimes it is just a natural asymmetry, like having one eyebrow that is higher than the other. But for many men, unevenness is an early sign of hair loss, such as through male pattern baldness.

Below are some of the most common causes of an uneven hairline. We also explore some of the treatments available through a hair restoration expert, such as Dr. Arthur Zacco of AZ Hair Restoration in North Carolina.

Causes of an Uneven Hairline

Several issues can cause or add to your hair loss problems. These include genetics, traction alopecia and male pattern baldness.

Genetics

Genetics can play a role in asymmetry that makes your hair look uneven from one side to the other. This is often an inherited trait, just like your genes determine your eye color, hair color or whether you have a widow’s peak. Before feeling stressed about your uneven hairline, check out the hairlines of people in your family.

Traction Alopecia

An uneven hairline can also come from traction alopecia. This is a condition of hair loss caused by putting too much tension on individual hair roots. For example, if you wear your hair tightly pulled back in a man bun, you can experience hair loss on one side of your head. Tight braids, dreadlocks and other common styles cause these problems, too. These styles pull on your hair roots and disrupt the growth cycle.

Women more typically experience traction alopecia when compared to men. But more men are pulling their hair back in man buns and braids as part of modern hairstyling. You can also experience an uneven hairline from excessive brushing or pulling on one side of your hair.

If this is the cause of your uneven hairline, we have good news. That is, traction alopecia is not male pattern baldness. If your hair has fallen out because of stress put on the roots, it can grow back. You simply have to reduce the strain put on this hair and step away from your man bun habit.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness is very common, particularly in men over the age of 35. This is a hormonal condition inherited through your genes. So you may notice other men in your family have the same hair thinning problems or an uneven hairline. The temples is where this condition typically starts, causing your style to appear uneven. More than half of men will experience male pattern baldness in their 40s.

Remember that only some uneven hairlines are the result of male pattern baldness. Signs of this condition include:

Visible changes in your hairline over time
Finding more hairs in your shower
Growing number of hairs left in your hairbrush
Through modern treatment methods you can stop your hair loss from male pattern baldness. You can even reverse the condition’s effects, in some cases. The key is to seek treatment as early as possible in your hair loss as possible. If you suspect this balding is occurring because you notice an uneven hairline, see your hair restoration expert as soon as possible.

Treatments for an Uneven Hairline

The first step in treatment for an uneven hairline is gaining a clear diagnosis. You need to visit a hair loss doctor. He will provide an exam and determine the specific causes, then recommending treatment. Because every patient is an individual and there are many causes of an uneven hairline, there is no single type of treatment for all people.

Treatment methods used for male pattern baldness or an uneven hairline include:
