As the population experiencing hair loss has increased recently, demand for hair transplants as a solution has also been on the rise. Accordingly, rather than simply filling in the hairline due to hair loss, more diverse approaches are being used, such as hairline correction, sideburn correction, and baby hair transplants.
Among these, many people seek an image change through hair transplants in areas that can easily be overlooked, such as men's sideburns and women's face-framing hair and baby hair. Although sideburns, face-framing hair, and baby hair are small areas, they can make the face appear slimmer and give the impression of a different look.
Even a slight improvement in these areas can make the overall impression appear different. In addition, men's sideburns can symbolize masculinity, while women's face-framing hair and baby hair help create a youthful appearance and a cute image.
However, in the case of hair transplants in such specific areas, it is important to carefully consider factors such as hair thickness and direction. Therefore, selecting a design, hair thickness, and direction appropriate for the individual's face is necessary to obtain a more satisfactory image improvement effect.
Furthermore, caution is needed because if hairs are extracted indiscriminately and transplanted into the desired area, there are not a few cases in which the shape becomes unnatural or the grafts do not take properly, leading to revision surgery. In particular, since hair follicles are limited, there are limits to revision surgery as well, so sufficient consultation with medical staff should precede the decision to undergo the procedure.
Director Yoo Hwa-jung of Modi Hair Plant said, "Because the hairline is located at the very front of the scalp and is the first area to catch the eye, obtaining a natural result in a hair transplant is more important than anything else," and explained, "In particular, for sideburn transplants, hairs as similar as possible in thickness to the existing hair must be selected and aligned with the direction of growth, while for baby hair transplants, the key is to classify hair follicles by thickness and transplant them densely at high density."
