A common concern before hair transplantation is whether the result will look natural. Poor outcomes can occur when hairline design, graft angle, density distribution, donor management or surgical execution are inadequate. Patients should compare clinics carefully, verify who performs each stage of the procedure, and review comparable patient cases before making a decision.
Factors That Can Affect a Natural-Looking Hair Transplant
1. Graft Extraction Technique
Taking hair follicles with very thick tipped punches leads to the formation of thick-sized follicle units. So, the presence of skin parts 3-4 times thicker in diameter around the follicle units containing 2 or 3 hairs necessitates the opening of wide channels during implantation. Otherwise, a thick diameter follicle unit may be traumatized when placed in a small channel. When a thick diameter duct is healed with contraction healing, it causes the underside of the hairs to get an annoying image (in the form of a trough). Small sized follicle means a small-scale canal; means rapid recovery. It has been argued that the feeding and survival of nesting units, which have thick and thick skin around this day, is better. Until today; Although it has been argued that the feeding and viability of nesting units with thicker skin is better, the necessary things to keep and grow the hair follicles -as will be explaining in more detail in the chapters to come- the most important thing is implantation of the stems without waiting for a long time and the preservation of the bulge region where the roots are in. One of the topics discussed recently is the intake of the roots by hand or micromotor. When we take the roots, we make a circular cut of 0.6-0.8 mm around the point where the follicle unit comes out of the skin, but we stop this cut in the superficial layers of the skin without getting too deep into the depths. If we do this small circular cut with the power of our hands, that is, manually, we use the opposite half circular movements to the left and right, and if we do this with the help of the micromotor, we use the force of the motor to make a continuous circular motion of the same diameter punches placed on the tip of the punch. In both cases, what is important is that the diameter of the punch used is thin and that the roots are important for the survival of the layers under the skin. One important point to be aware of the micromotor is that the speed of rotation is not high. Considering these points, I do not think that there is a difference between the roots and the manual or micromotor assisted acquisition. However, since most of the clinics that use micromotor in our country carry out high-speed purchases with thick-diameter punches, there are white spot marks in the donor site where the roots are taken. However, it should not be forgotten that this is not a mistake of micromotor, it is a situation of the buying technique of large-scale punches returning at high speed.
2. Recipient-Site Creation and Graft Placement
The angle, direction and spacing of recipient sites can strongly influence how natural a hair transplant looks. Existing native hairs may help guide placement, but planning should also consider the patient’s hair characteristics and long-term pattern of hair loss. Recipient sites should be created with instruments and dimensions appropriate for the grafts being placed, while avoiding unnecessary trauma to the scalp. Dense packing and hairline design should be individualized rather than applied as a fixed pattern to every patient.
3. Hairline Design
Hairline design should take into account facial proportions, age, existing hair, donor limitations and the likelihood of future hair loss. A conservative plan can be especially important when donor supply is limited or progressive hair loss is expected.
There is an important point where many hair transplant clinics do not emphasize: our hair has a feature that shows a regression and opening as a whole in the spill phase in a different way between the two favorite regions.
In the Norwood 3 class hair loss, if we do not form a triangular protrusion in the temple, we will create a disproportionate and unbalanced hairline. If we are going to do hair transplant to an aged person with hair loss, we should plan the hair line quite conservatively and start from the upper regions and leave the hair indentations as empty as possible so that we can achieve the closest results to natural hair.
Facial symmetry, balance and proportion can all influence hairline planning, but there is no single mathematical formula that guarantees a natural result. Hairline design should be individualized to the patient’s anatomy and long-term treatment plan.
Hairline Design Considerations
* The end point of the front hair line-apex should be just above the line that is vertical from the outer edge of our eye.
* Apex should not be rounded. This is a mistake made on the hairline of people we see almost every day on the street and even when we come to see the hair transplant.
* The hairline should be a wide U-shaped base when viewed from the front
* the hairline should be seen as a horizontal line when viewed from the side.
* If we want to get a good fit with the temple zone when looking from the side of the apex in the temple zone should be formed with a triangular indentation.
I, especially those with wide openings, prefer to design the hairline more conservatively, rather than very downwardly, but I also ensure that hairs are transported more intensely and frequently. Because pulling the hairline down to 1 cm will enlarge the area to be sown to 8 cm2 and it will need 400-500 additional grafts.
Historical pricing note: Older versions of this page listed a price of €1 per graft. That figure should not be treated as a current quote. Hair transplant pricing, treatment availability and what is included in a package can change over time. Contact the clinic directly for current information and compare any quote with the planned procedure, physician involvement and aftercare.
