I understand that recession can add realism to the piece but the reason I'm getting the piece is to get rid of as much of the recession as possible. I want my hairline as low as possible and the edited pictures show way too much of a recession for me. In the last edited picture it shows a recession to where my hairline is already receded which would defeat the entire purpose of having a piece. I do appreciate the advice though guys.

I will cut away a bit more of the template and try to create a slightly more arched hairline and raise the sides up.
