    Default Upper sideburn hair transplants look unnatural. Here's why we don't do them.

    We get asked pretty frequently to add some hair down from those "frontal triangles" to connect to the sideburn area. Lots of books on hair transplantation show this and I do see a fair number of guys who have had it done and it frequently looks UNNATURAL. First off the donor hair is usually thicker than sideburn hair, second..its hard to get it to lie flat with the skin like sideburn hair does, and lastly as people lose hair behind the transplant...it looks like the state of Florida or Baja California....in a sea of skin.



    We go into this in this short video.
