Question: Can you tell me about detectability and scarring after a hair transplant?
Answer: In my opinion, a hair transplant wasn't performed properly if you can tell that an individual had the procedure. A completely natural looking head of hair, one in which the hairline is so natural that the hair can be brushed back and even cut very short, is completely attainable using state-of-the-art techniques. There is also a bit of artistic license here as the natural appearance is achieved by using the right combination of different sized follicular unit micro grafts transplanted at the proper angle, and by designing a hairline that is in harmony with the individual's facial proportions. Follicular unit transplantation is a technically demanding procedure, but by far creates, for most individuals, the most natural appearing results.
