Will FUE Hair Transplants look fake? Will they look like hair plugs? Worried about people making fun of!

If an FUE procedure is done correctly, using individual follicular units and the placement is correct (single unit follicles in the hairline, etc) then nobody should be able to tell you had the procedure done. The same is true with the FUT/strip procedure.  Both procedures, if done correctly will show natural results.

Not all doctors will produce the best resultsThis is true even if they are using ARTAS, Neograft, and all types of FUE or FUT surgical methods.In the wrong hands, you will get bad results.Some patients go bargain hunting for the cheapest surgery.Some patients go reputation hunting for the best doctor.Best reputable doctors may not be the cheapest but they consistently produce the best results.Cheapest doctors may produce good results but you gotta wonder why they are so cheap.

All hair transplants using follicular units will look completely
natural, provided that the physician utilizes the appropriate surgical and
aesthetic skills. This applies to both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT
(Follicular Unit Transplantation). In
both FUE and FUT, the physician harvests hair follicles in their natural
groupings (called follicular units). The small size of these units gives doctors
the versatility to create hair patterns that closely mimic nature. Although using follicular units will ensure that
individual grafts will look natural, the look of the overall restoration
depends on the physician’s judgment in determining the angle, direction, and
distribution of the implanted grafts, as these factors govern the overall aesthetic
aspects of the hair transplant.

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. 

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!
