Combining Hair Transplant Surgery with a Hair System
Does a partial hair system blend well with a hair transplant? Is it undetectable?
This hair loss question was answered by Dr. William Lindsey of Reston, VA who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians.
This type of approach is reasonable for select hair loss patients. First, I have worked with several guys who were able to have a hair restoration procedure, slightly modify the way they wore or styled their hair system, and “pull off” the surgery without their friends/customers knowing. Then in a few months they can modify the system again to show the hair transplant result, and consider moving forward with a second procedure much later.
I posted a fellow on this hair loss forum a few months ago who had a limited donor hair supply, such as a hair plugs repair case. We could really improve the front, but this patient does not have sufficient resources to cover the top and balding crown. For a patient like this, a combination of hair restoration surgery to give a natural hairline, and hair system to cover the top; works extremely well.
