Can implanted hair look natural?
Hair transplantation is a popular cosmetic procedure that aims to restore hair growth in areas where it has been lost. One of the main concerns for those considering a hair transplant is whether the implanted hair will look natural. The answer is yes, as long as the procedure is carried out by experienced specialists who use the latest techniques, such as the FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI techniques used at HED Clinic. With these techniques, maximum density can be achieved, and the hairline is carefully determined based on various factors.
Does the transplanted hair fall out after a hair transplant?
The transplanted hair will fall out within a few weeks following the transplant procedure, but this is a normal occurrence. The hair will begin to grow back again in around 3-4 months. Once this temporary shedding has passed, the transplanted hair follicles will retain their character and not fall out. However, the original hair in the same area may continue to fall out over time, which can lead to a reduction in hair density, requiring a new hair transplant in the future. Progressive hair loss can occur after surgery, and if an unnatural appearance occurs in the new hairline area, further surgical intervention may be necessary in the future.
What are the risks of an improperly performed hair transplant?
Like any medical procedure, hair transplant carries some risks if performed under inappropriate conditions. However, if a plastic surgeon with experience performs the hair transplant in a hospital setting, complications are very rare. Hair transplant is a lengthy process, and depending on the degree of baldness, several transplants may be required over a period of 1-2 years. Although very rare, complications such as infection and noticeable scarring can occur. Postoperative pain, discomfort, bruising, and swelling can be observed and controlled with pain relievers. Numbness that occurs in the hair removal and transplantation areas can self-resolve within 2-3 months.
