How to Avoid Pluggy Look from Hair Transplant?

Pluggy look is a technical complication from unskilled doctors and technicians.  A good hair transplant surgery will go unnoticed by others.  That is why finding the cheapest doctor is not the most wisest choice.

Pluggy look is a result from usually an older technique.  FUE (I prefer NeoGraft) and proper placement considering natural density patterns, orientation, and an eye for aesthetics should avoid a pluggy look every time.

This depends on the technique and surgeon used for hair transplant. Thirty-or-so years ago, hair transplant was associated with the pluggy look due to the now-antiquated methods that were used. Nowadays, this is not so. Any experienced hair transplant surgeon with skill and artistic propensity should be able to implant donor hairs without a pluggy result. The same may not be said of novice practitioners, which means you need to extensively research surgeons and not just arbitrarily pick one. Furthermore, certain modern techniques are prone to more natural-looking results. For example follicular unit extraction (FUE) has a greater capacity to create soft, gradual hairlines due to its use of non-traditional donor hair (such as finer caliber nape hair).
