Under the microscope to get a good quality hair root clump and when transplanted to the desired area, it will produce new hair that looks natural.
However, a major disadvantage of this method is that it causes a long scar on the occipital area, which can be noticeable if you cut your hair short, so it is important for hair transplant recipients to consider the suitability of their lifestyle before making a decision.

After the transplant, I could hardly see the scar.
Although FUE hair transplantation is popular and gives good results, there is a disadvantage that the occipital area may appear thinner after transplantation because part of the hair roots have been transplanted to the desired area.
