Frontal Hair Transplant
The work for a hair transplant surgeon is not only medical but also artistic. Every surgeon has his own way of creating a hairline but the best surgeons take full advantage of their artistic ability. Hair transplant surgery should not be quick so if you know of a surgeon that performs them this way then it would be wise not to have your procedure done there. Each area of the head has to be created in a certain way so that it mimics nature.
The frontal hair line of a hair transplant is the most difficult area because it is the area that is most seen and hardest to mimic. A lot of hair transplants surgeons have a basic pattern that they follow but this can create a very unnatural hairline. To get a natural hair line the surgeon must frame the face and use only singular hairs. If you use groupings of 2 or more hairs then it will look very unnatural. Each hair line should be different because the structure of each patients face will be different.
The crown is also a very difficult area for a hair transplant surgeon. The crown is a large area so the surgeon must be very creative and knowledgeable of where he is going to place the grafts. The hairs must be placed in a way so that they get a lot of coverage using a small amount of grafts for that area. Another difficult part about transplanting the crown is that the surgeon has to mimic the natural spiral grouping of hairs that grow there. This is a very difficult to mimic and can only be done properly by the best of surgeons.
Finally to blend this all together is one of the hardest aspects for a hair transplant surgeon. If he is transplanting the entire head then he must know where and how to put the grafts so that they give the most natural looking hair transplant while also using the grafts wisely enough to cover the entire head that is pleasing to the eye. The hairs must be the most dense at the front and then become less dense as they reach the crown. This will give the hair a layered affect and give the illusion of a full head of hair.
