Does Hair Transplant Look Natural?

A Hair Transplant is on its way to becoming the most sought-after procedure to treat hair loss. But the question that haunts people and scares them away is, “Does a hair transplant look natural?” And why not? It is completely reasonable to ponder over the effectiveness of a procedure before fully committing to it. In this blog, we try to drive away this uncertainty about how natural the results of a hair transplant are.

Does a hair transplant look Natural?

The massive advancement in science and technology has made its mark in the field of surgery. Extensive research and study have led to modern tools and methods being safe, reliable and effective. Nowadays almost all procedures promise to give natural results. And it might make you wonder about their effectiveness and fill you with doubts. We want to clear this doubt, “does hair transplant look natural?” so that you take an informed decision about getting a hair transplant. 

We have listed a few factors which might affect the naturalness of the hair after a transplant.

• Choice of technique. FUT and FUE are two primary techniques for extracting the hair. FUE is newer compared to FUT. It involves extracting the hair follicles individually. Whereas, FUT involves taking a strip of skin from the donor area and then extracting grafts of hair from it.  FUE gives a more natural look when compared to FUT. So, if you choose to go with FUE, chances are you get a more natural look and feel.

• Natural Hairline. The hairline is what frames our face and gives it its uniqueness. Thus, any slight change in hairline makes dramatic changes in our appearance. The hairline changes as one age. It recedes backwards exposing the forehead and making it look bigger. A hair transplant should be done in such a way that the hairline looks natural. Taking the structure of the face into consideration, a skilled surgeon would transplant hair to mimic the natural hairline, thus giving it a natural look.  

• A number of hair transplanted. The density and fullness of the hair also add to its natural look. The final volume of transplanted hair depends on the diameter of the hair, the number of grafts extracted, the volume of baldness and how close the hair is planted. It requires a high level of skill to plant hair close to each other to create a thicker and more natural look.

• The Surgeon. There is no need for you, as a patient, to know about the perfect number of grafts or the natural hairline etc. The only thing you need to make sure of is that you find the right surgeon. A highly skilled and qualified surgeon will take care of all the things and ensure that you have a head of thick and luscious hair. It might be daunting, given the number of surgeons and clinics out there. Let’s make it easy. What you want to look for in a surgeon are experience and past records. You can go contact a few of the surgeons’ past patients, or your doctor's friends and family and get their opinion as well. The right surgeon will ensure that you achieve the desired look.
