we can all admit that hair plugs look pretty obvious! Is the beauty of FUE hair transplants that results are more subtle? Will people even be able to tell?

Answer: FUE Transplant Results FUE hair transplant is a technique of harvesting hair follicular units individually from the donor area. The outcome of a hair transplant should not have to do with the technique of harvesting hair (strip vs. FUE) and if a FUE hair transplant is done properly the results should be completely undetectable from a natural full head of hair.

Answer: Is hair restoration surgery noticeable? Modern hair restoration surgery is far advanced from the "doll's hair" appearing "hair plugs" of the past. With both the FUE and FUT techniques, one, two, three, or four UNIT hairs are isolated and individually inserted into the recipient sites. They are placed in such a way that the results are natural appearing and certainly not big obvious plugs. While you will have some crusting at the recipient site for some time post-op, after that, you'd be hard pressed to find signs of the procedure. The transplanted hairs typically fall out and start to re-grow around 4 months later. So, aside from hairs that are in different stages of growth and length, it's not a huge red flag. Visit with a facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, or dermatologist that does hair transplanting for more information in person. I wish you well!
