Incongruence of growth vectors, example 1. A 48-year-old female patient had undergone hairline correction surgery from the frontotemporal recess area to the side hairline 3 years previously. The implantation was performed in accordance with the angle and direction of the preexisting hair. However, unlike thin, frontal hairs (red arrows), which easily bend downwards under the influence of gravity, the thick, implanted hairs (blue arrows) created an awkward result by projecting outwards, more horizontally.
