Will people know I had a hair transplant?

Immediately after your hair transplant surgery the recipient area will look pink with some scabs that form around the incisions. These incisions will heal fairly quickly-7 to 10 days.

During the first few days, your hair transplant will be somewhat noticeable. The areas of the scalp that have no hair, will have temporary scabs. However, most patients, do mind wearing a hat 5 to 7 days after surgery.

Once the transplanted hair grows out, the results will look natural, even under close examination.
