FUE: will be I able to hide my transplant better with long hair, or if I go short? (Photo)

Question

I’m trying to decide. My surgery is on 12/14, I return to work on 1/2. This is how I have been wearing my hair. With a little effort I can keep it closer to my eyes while around the office.

If you are considering a cosmetic surgery it would be in your interest to see a doctor for an examination to make sure you would be a candidate.  Keeping your hair long will help hide the surgery.

If you have longer hair you have a chance to conceal the recipient area. To hide that you had a procedure you would have to undergo a non-shaving fue procedure.

John Kahen, MD · Answer

The FUE procedure was created for patients who would like to have the option of wearing their hair shorter or longer.  the FUE Procedure is geared towards Patients who want that versatility. Reason being because you are not left with a linear incision. You are left with tiny tiny pin point scarring and you would honestly probably need a microscope or a magnified glass to see any of the pin point scarring at all. most DRS. use a 0.7mm punch which is an extremely small blade. Patients who do the FUE procedure typically tend to wear their hair at a 0,1 or 2 on the clippers and they find no scarring.

Long hair works best to hide a hair transplant as you can use styling to cover the entire hair recipient area with your long hair
