Asian patients usually have thicker, straighter and darker hair, while the follicle density of the scalp is often lower. These characteristics directly influence the transplant plan, from hairline design to graft distribution.
Key points in planning
- Hair-to-skin contrast: The contrast between dark, thick hair and lighter skin can make sparse areas more noticeable, so density distribution is planned carefully, especially at the front.
- Direction of straight hair: Straight hair makes the implantation angle more visible; placing grafts at an angle and direction that match the natural flow is essential.
- Hairline design: The hairline is designed with a soft, natural transition that suits facial proportions and personal expectations.
- Donor capacity: Because follicle density may be lower, the donor area is measured and a realistic graft target is set.
Choice of technique
Whether FUE, DHI or a combination is suitable is determined after a medical examination, based on hair type and the target area. An unshaven option may also be considered where appropriate. Temporary shedding of transplanted hair may occur in the first months; results are usually assessed within 9–12 months.
Preliminary assessment from abroad
Patients from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other Asian countries can request a free preliminary consultation by sending their photos via WhatsApp. The definitive plan is made after the medical examination in Istanbul.
