Q76 Will the transplanted hair look unnatural?
Conclusion
Natural appearance mainly depends on single-hair units in the hairline transition zone, insertion angles, consistent direction and a density gradient. These four factors are determined together during design and surgical execution.
Supporting information
All recipient areas.
Follicular units contain 1–4 terminal hairs. Single-hair units are generally placed in the transition zone and multi-hair units behind them to create a gradient.
Risks and limitations
We do not display before-and-after photographs because of compliance risks. We therefore cannot use photographs to prove naturalness, but can explain the technique and design logic.
Next steps
Ask the doctor to mark the design on your scalp and explain the unit-placement strategy for each section.
