Objective To introduce an innovative technique for improving the appearance of elongated faces by modifying the hairline via hair transplantation， thereby enhancing facial proportions across frontal， oblique， and lateral perspectives. Methods Fifty-three female patients were included in this study. Facial measurements included the midline length and the lengths of the upper， middle， and lower thirds of the face. Additionally， four distances were assessed in oblique and lateral views： The vertical distances from the temporal hairline to the menton and from the sideburn to the menton. The hairline was corrected with hair transplantation， and the results were assessed by the patient and surgeon using the Likert scale. Results Post-transplantation， the central hairline was advanced， shortening the upper third of the face and decreasing the vertical distances from the temporal hairline and sideburn to the menton. Both patients and surgeons evaluated the outcomes using the Likert scale， with patients reporting an average score of 4.5. No adverse events were noted. Two patients required additional procedures to enhance hair density in the transplant region. Conclusion Hairline modification through hair transplantation presents an effective strategy for achieving facial balance and symmetry， offering a promising solution for women seeking to correct an elongated facial appearance.
