Every day, while walking outside, traveling on the bus, sipping your coffee in a café, in short, at every point where you can come into contact with people, you see many people who have had hair transplants, but you almost never notice them.
In fact, this example is the most accurate answer to the question of "Does hair transplantation look natural?"
Within 2 months after the hair transplant, you start to see the first effects of the transplant and your hair starts to grow. This hair is not a wig or someone else's hair. It is your natural hair taken from your donor area, so since the hair that grows is your hair - when done by a good hair transplant team with the latest technological possibilities - there is no reason for it not to look natural.
The texture, growth rate and color of the transplanted hair completely carry the characteristics of your natural hair.
We can explain it like this:
When you cut your nail, the nail that comes from behind is your own nail and looks natural.
After your skin scabs over due to a wound, the skin that comes from the lower layer is your own skin again and looks natural.
Therefore, the transplanted hair is also your hair and it grows, becomes thicker and looks natural.
On the other hand, in recent years, in hair transplants performed with the FUE technique, there is no noticeable surgical scar as in the FUT technique, therefore a natural look is more possible compared to the FUT technique. In this respect, the FUE technique is considered a revolution in the field of hair transplantation.
So why can it be easily understood that some people have hair transplants?
Suppose you go to a city you don't know and you are thinking of eating at a restaurant.
You are undecided between two restaurants, one restaurant is full to the brim with customers and the other has not a single customer. Which one would you probably decide to eat at?
The answer to this question is obvious to most of us. We choose the crowded one. We think that we prevent the risks we will take in this way. The fact that the place is crowded is almost like a recommendation for us.
If it is crowded, we probably assume that there is an expert team doing their job well and that many people are satisfied.
Even when choosing a doctor, we make our decision according to the advice given by those around us. This is valid in every corner of our lives. From furniture selection to mobile phone selection, the advice of our relatives or people we trust is extremely important to us.
Therefore, having a procedure performed by experts is significant in terms of reducing the risks we will take.
The same applies to hair transplantation. Hair transplantation procedures performed by non-experts can lead to many different problems, including hair that does not look natural. We recommend that you stay away from procedures performed by inexperienced people in places that are not inspected by the Ministry, which can be called underground, first for your health and then for your appearance.
The 4 main reasons why hair transplantation does not look natural are as follows:
1- Transplantation in a way that does not overlap with the natural growth direction and angle of the hair
The front hair line should be designed in accordance with the shape of the face. In addition, determining the natural growth direction of the hair in the analysis to be made and performing the transplant in this direction is vital for a natural appearance.
2- Using donors from another area other than the nape area
Using areas other than the donor area at the back of your head as donor areas (such as chest, legs) can disrupt the natural appearance of your hair.
3- Planting less or more grafts than necessary
The amount of hair per square centimeter in a hair follicle in your donor area should be planted on average in each square centimeter in areas where you have no hair.
On the other hand, anatomically, the number of hair strands that each hair follicle in our hair contains, that is, the number of hairs coming out of it, varies.
These are randomly distributed. While some follicles have 1 strand, some have 2, some have 3, and rarely 4.
Therefore, one of the points we pay the most attention to when performing a hair transplant is to plant hair follicles randomly in accordance with the nature of the scalp by planting 1 strand, 2 strands, 3 strands or 4 strands and distributing them randomly on the scalp.
However, it is important to select grafts that contain a single hair strand when creating the front hairline. Because in fact, the front hairline usually consists of follicles containing a single hair strand.
4- Not following the doctor's recommendations after the procedure
Following the doctor's recommendations after every medical procedure is important for quick recovery and achieving the desired result.
If the doctor's recommendations are not followed after the procedure, the chance of success of the procedure decreases.
Apart from these, many reasons such as incorrect adjustment of hair density in the transplanted areas, inexperience of the hair transplant team, trying to fit high amount of graft transplants (4000 - 5000) into a single day cause the natural appearance to be out of place.
