Can I wear a hairpiece following a transplant to cover the area during healing?
The density of a hairpiece will always be greater than the density of a natural looking hair transplant. If a patient wants to stop wearing a hairpiece and transition into a hair transplant, it will not be a seamless transformation. We encourage our patients to discontinue wearing their hair piece prior to surgery. This way they can become more accepting of their hair loss and have realistic expectations of their final result. We also discourage wearing a hair system following the procedure, because scalp infections as well as yeast can grow under the hair piece.
