Study of frontal hairline patterns for natural design and restoration

Abstract

Ideal reconstruction of scalp defects relies on a comprehensive understanding of scalp anatomy and detailed information of patient factors. The classification of the hairline and measured forehead reference lengths will be beneficial in the correction of wide foreheads. There were significant gender differences in the esthetic rankings of the hairline contour. Compared to women, both of the measured average forehead reference lengths displayed a significantly greater value in men. Our results clearly showed that sex difference affected the predominance of the contour type. The M shape was the most common, and the triangular type was poorly classified in men, whereas the rectangular hairline was the most common type among women.

Scalp advancement for transgender women: Closing the gap

“…Spiegel in 2011 reported only a 1.8% complication rate for scalp advancement with frontal cranioplasty and brow lift, and these complications were most typically widened scar . The average height for a forehead in women (trichion to glabella) is 55 mm ± 5 mm and in men 60 mm ± 10 mm . We were on average able to advance the hairline 2.01 cm.…”

“…An M‐type line is more masculine, and a rounder hairline is preferred for women . The M‐type hairline also was less attractive and made the face appear larger . In the study by Sirinturk et al, they found that the round and rectangular hairline types were mainly found in women and the M‐shape hairline was found more commonly in males.…”

“…In addition to shortening the forehead, we changed the shape of the hairline. An M‐type line is more masculine, and a rounder hairline is preferred for women . The M‐type hairline also was less attractive and made the face appear larger .…”

Craniofacial Morphometric Measurements of Children with Celiac Disease

“…2020; 30(1):e92710. Standardization with the Frankfort horizontal plane is achieved in many studies with craniofacial anthropometric measurements (3,4,17). In profile view, Frankfort horizontal plane is the line connecting the highest point of the opening of the external auditory canal and the lowest Iran J Pediatr.…”

“…Since craniofacial anthropometry and morphometric measurements are affected by genetic, embryogenic and environmental factors, these measurements are used in determination of variations and medical problems associated with the development (7,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Although growth retardation is a well-known, common finding in children with celiac disease, the extent to which craniofacial development is affected is not known clearly (16).…”
