    Now that you mention it, some of the hairlines looked a bit too perfect, like straight edges with no randomness. That’s not normal, right?

    3 years isn’t bad if they were trained properly, but I’d be cautious. Were the hairlines consistent, or did some look weird? Overly...

    Damn, I almost booked a guy who’s only been doing transplants for 3 years. He had good photos, but I’m second-guessing now.

    Exactly. I’d say a good surgeon should have at least 5+ years doing transplants full-time AND a portfolio of consistent results. No “one...

    A low fade usually looks better than a skin fade if you had a transplant. Keeping a bit of length helps it blend in more.
  • Kerberos
    Yeah, and ALWAYS check before-and-after videos, not just photos. Some clinics edit photos or take them under perfect lighting to hide...

    Toppik is solid, but DermMatch works better for the crown—it gives more coverage and doesn’t blow away in the wind like fibers do.

    Yeah, that’s what I was worried about. Any tricks to blend it better?
