Hair transplantation is more important than anything else because the final result is finally confirmed after a year.

It is a space where members are diagnosed with their condition after surgery and counseled on postoperative management, case-by-case occurrence, and additional supplementation methods.

It has the most clinical data in the world, where doctors related to hair transplantation also visit to study cases.

Thank you to all the seniors who left a meaningful record that can't express its value to someone preparing for surgery.

Leaving photo data after surgery is also "patient strength" and is a strong insurance policy against future unexpected surgical outcomes.

The most common question I've heard in my 10 years of hair transplantation is 'How many hairs do you transplant?'
However, it's not the number of transplants that determine the outcome of the surgery..It was "thickness of hair".
This is why the effects are different even for two people who operated at the same hospital.

Planting thick hair, of course, 100 strands of thick hair or 100 strands of thin hair, will work well (expression).
If you look more closely, the difference is much larger than expected.

Asian hair thickness (diameter) varies from 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm.
Let's compare the two of you with a double difference in hair diameters of 0.06mm and 0.12mm, respectively.

As for the hair transplant effect (expression power), the cross-sectional area of the transplant hair is important, so we will calculate and compare the cross-sectional area of the hair.
-Fine hair: if the thickness is 0.06 mm, the radius is 0.03 mm, and the cross-sectional area is 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 = 0.0028 mm² because it is the square of the radius
-Thick hair: cross-sectional area 3.14 x 0.06 x 0.06 = 0.011 mm²

In other words, the actual thickness difference of the hair compared in cross-section is 0.011 and 0.0028, or 3.9 times.
Even if there is a three-fold difference in small size, it means that the effect of planting 3,000 thin hair is the same as the effect of planting 1,000 thick hair.

When you do surgical consultations, you pay a lot of attention to how many plants you plant.
Many parameters would be good for the same hair condition, but I would like to tell you that the characteristics of your occipital hair (thickness, curlyness, color) are more important and it is important to understand them clearly during preoperative counseling.

Thank you for reading this long article.

PS1: The case of thick hair transplantation in the picture above is from my post on May 1st of this bulletin board. The writing number is 5865. 

PS2: There are 2,608 hair transplants (1190 hair follicles, 709 hair follicles), and 2537 hair transplants (819 hair follicles, 859 hair follicles).  The entire transplant area was wider for thin hair cases.
We cannot rule out the possibility that all surgical cases will be provided with support or convenience from the hospital and written in favor of a specific hospital. All plastic surgery has the potential for unexpected side effects. Please use it only as a reference. The legal rights and responsibilities of this post lie with the publisher himself.
