I went had a in person consultation with Rahal's clinic and an online picture based assessment with H&W's clinic and both quoted me less than 2000 grafts. Both told me that they wouldn't be significantly lowering my hairline by a norwood or 2 since I'm at NW2 and it corresponds to a mature hairline already.
Rahal's rep told me that I could go lower but it wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing since I'm not 16 anymore (I'm 32) and that a juvenile hairline of NW0/1 wouldn't look right on me as it would make me look slightly feminine etc.
H&W's rep straight up told me that they wouldn't do NW1 at all because it would look unnatural and abnormal.
Me personally I think that this is a subjective matter. I am east Asian and adopt a slightly east Asian aesthetic in the way I style my hair and chose my clothes to begin with (think K-pop) and I also have been told that I have a baby face, which means that a more juvenile hairline would suite me more?
Am I really crazy for wanting a NW0/1 hairline at the age of 32
I included a picture of where the Rahal rep drew the hairline. I am looking for perhaps 0.25-0.5 inch lower than his line.
this is my hairline at 16 for reference.
These guys all look like they are below NW2. Is it really not a good look to look like these guys at an older age? or Are the clinics taking other things into consideration such as trying preserving my donor supply for potential future crown loss or perhaps it is more difficult to create a natural hairline in the NW0/1 area as few patients have done it?
