Is it good to get Synthetic Hair Transplantation? What are the pro and cons ?

Question

I have curly hair but I want to have a FUE transplant but I want straight hair to be in my hairline because I wear hair wigs to avoid wearing my hair to not straighten it regularly. What is the best type of synthetic hair? Is it permanent ?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Synthetic hair transplant is not approved in the U.S. There may be numerous health issues associated with synthetic hair.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Synthetic hair comes with a long list of side effects and complications, including a virtually 100% infection rate. I was strongly, strongly advise against a synthetic hair transplant, and look into FUE or FUT transplants instead.

Greg Williams, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

In my opinion, people with hair loss should stay away from synthetic hair implants despite the glossy ads, testimonials and manufacturers promises. I have seen so many patients lives ruined by having this procedure done and then developing widespread inflammation, infection and even scalp necrosis. To be a successful long term solution, the implants would need to be biologically inert and although there are some new synthetic hair producers that make this claim, I have yet to be convinced. It may seem like a great solution especially for patients with extensive alopecia areata or those with insufficient donor for a hair transplant but my advice is to avoid synthetic hair implants.

it is just chemical , a kind of continuously irritating substances  that you contact with your scalp skin and much more expensive than a hair restoration surgery . So would you like to have it ?

Simply, stay away from it.   It will lead to scarring of your skin, further loss of your hair.
