As the population experiencing hair loss has recently increased, the demand for hair transplants as a solution is also on the rise. As a result, rather than simply filling in the line to address hair loss, more diverse methods such as hairline correction, sideburn correction, and fine-hair transplant are being utilized.
Among these, there are many cases where people seek an image transformation through hair transplant in areas that can be easily overlooked, such as men's sideburns and women's baby hair and fine hair. Although sideburns, baby hair, and fine hair are small areas, they make the face appear slimmer and give the effect of changing one's image.
Even a slight improvement in these areas can create the effect of changing the entire impression. In addition, men's sideburns can symbolize masculinity, while women's baby hair and fine hair help create a youthful appearance and a cute image.
However, in the case of hair transplants in such special areas, it is important to carefully consider the thickness and direction of the hair. Therefore, selecting a design, hair thickness, and direction appropriate for the individual's face is necessary to achieve a more satisfactory image improvement effect.
Furthermore, caution is needed because there are quite a few cases where hair is indiscriminately extracted and transplanted into the desired area, resulting in an unnatural shape or improper engraftment, leading to revision surgery. In particular, since hair follicles are limited, there are also limits to revision surgery, so sufficient consultation with medical staff should precede the decision to undergo the procedure.
Yu Hwa-jeong, Director of Modi Hair Plant Clinic, explained, "Since the hairline is located at the very front of the scalp and is the first area to catch the eye, obtaining natural results during a hair transplant is more important than anything else," and "In particular, for sideburn transplants, hair as similar as possible to the thickness of the existing hair must be selected and aligned with the growth direction, and for fine-hair transplants, the key is to sort hair follicles by thickness and transplant them densely at high density."
