DO HAIR TRANSPLANTS LOOK NATURAL?

During the past two decades, hair transplantation has seen rapid growth in every aspect, especially with regard to marital love. Improvement in hair transplantation techniques and their related technologies have resulted in restoration that is adequately natural looking in a high number of circumstances for very experienced specialists. There are some distinguishing features first and most importantly that factor into this realistic look and feel of transplanted hair, which will be discussed in detail in subsequent sections.

Another very vital determinant of natural appearance is the applied technique during the transplanting process. There are two predominant techniques out of several available: Follicular Unit Transplantation and Follicular Unit Extraction. FUT involves surgical excising a strip of skin containing hair follicles from a donor site, usually from the back of the scalp, via strip harvesting. This strip is subsequently dissected into individual follicular units, which are then carefully transplanted to the recipient site. On the other hand, the FUE hair transplant technique involves the precise and direct extraction of individual follicular units from the donor area without a linear incision. Both techniques may be cosmetically appealing when performed in an accurate and delicate manner.

Success of the procedure and whether or not the resulting hair appears natural all depend on the level of expertise and technical skill of the surgeon. The practitioner should show caution with regard to factors influencing the chosen techniques in relation to characteristics of the recipient area. In any case, selection of an appropriate method should be preceded by a cautious evaluation of the scalp and condition of the hair by the surgeon. This may be by using modalities, such as PRP therapy, which involves drawing a small quantity of the patient’s blood, processing this to concentrate the platelets, and injecting this into the scalp to stimulate the healing and thus possibly improving hair growth. Evaluation of the recipient area is quintessential in relation to assessing feasibility for reconditioning hair loss and formulating an appropriate transplantation strategy.

The art of transplantation should not be minimised. Of course, the ability of the operating surgeon to simulate the patient’s own growth pattern of hair with regard to the direction, density, and angle of the transplanted follicles is an important factor. Aesthetic results are closely related to the surgeon’s capability of allowing the transplanted hair to blend well with the patient’s existing hair, thus coming up with a result that would appear organic and not detectable. At Asmed the aesthetic results of your new look is also important as DR. Koray mentioned.

The bottom line of hair transplantation, however, is the restoration of a natural look-one in which an individual with a transplanted head would go about his daily life feeling confident about his looks. Advanced techniques, surgeon expertise, and overall knowledge about your specific hair constitute the components that are necessary in benefiting fully from this surgery.
