Is it normal to have FUE implants positioned in a row? Will this look natural when the hair grows in? (Photo)

Question

I recently had 2000 FUE graphs on the crown of my head, plus the part area towards the front. Upon completion, I was surprised to see ROWS of graphs, in fairly straight lines. The doctor assured me that the results will look natural, but I need some reassurances. Is this a technique? Does anyone know if this type of pattern does indeed grow in to look natural?

What your head looks lıke after hair transplant operation and after 1 year of the operation are not the same. From your photo your condition looks good.

If it does not look random now, it probably will not look random later.  It is best to address your concern with your doctor.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

A random pattern is what we aim to achieve to give the most natural appearance.  The angle, density, depth & location of sites are critical and all a part of the expertise necessary in the design of a hairline, temple or even a crown whorl.  A solution if you don't like your result is to do scalp micropigmentation aka SMP (see link below), a revision transplant  (see link below) or wear your hair longer.

It is hard to say if this is bad to do or will it turn out natural. Hope for the best and see if that worked,

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

I usually use a random pattern and diamond shape distribution for achievement of natural look . İmplanting the grafts in a row like fashion would not yield a good natural result.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Recipient sites must be random and not placed in rows becuae it may look abnormal and our natural distribution of hair is randomly found
