Although hair transplant has proved itself to be the most successful hair restoration procedure, patients are often concerned about certain things about the operation. The biggest reason for this situation is the high number of information sources, some of which are not reflecting the facts about the process.

As the popularity of hair transplants has increased, the number of online sources about the procedure has also increased. This situation has spread misleading information and concerns people about having a hair transplant. Here are some common myths you encounter while searching for hair transplants.

Myth 1: All techniques of hair transplant leave a linear scar at the back of the head

Linear scars at the back of the head had been a distinct look of hair transplant results when the FUT technique was the latest and most preferred technique. FUT is a traditional technique in which a hairy strip from the scalp is removed to collect follicles; this leads to a permanent linear scar at the back of the head. However, the FUT technique has lost its old popularity with the emergence of the FUE technique, which promises a scar-less and more comfortable hair transplant. So, the linear scar is specific to the FUT technique and does not occur after the newer techniques.

Myth 2: Hair transplant can only be performed on men

This myth takes its basis from the fact that hair loss conditions are more common among men than women. Male pattern baldness is a widespread problem; it occurs in almost %60 of men, and therefore, it is very natural for men to seek hair transplants more often. However, hair loss is a reality for many women as well; in many conditions, it affects women at a higher rate. Hair transplant is a treatment for both men and women; women who suffer from hair loss can safely benefit from the latest hair transplant techniques like men.

Myth 3: Hair transplant results feel and look unnatural

People often think that after a hair transplant, the results would be wig-like; they think the new hair cannot be shaved or cut and look unnatural. This information is wrong; a hair transplant transfers the patient’s natural hair follicles to the balding area. The results of a hair transplant cannot be differentiated from the original hair because it is already your actual hair, only coming from a different part of your scalp. After the recovery, transplanted hair can be shaved or cut as desired; its natural growth cycle will continue.

Myth 4: Hair transplant is a painful operation

   A hair transplant is a somewhere extended operation than other cosmetic procedures, but it is not painful. A hair transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, meaning patients feel no pain or discomfort while awake. After the procedure, patients can return to their daily life in a day.
