I'm new here but booked in to get a HT in 2 months. To get a natural looking head of hair, it seems density is critical (as well as other things like conservative hairlines and hair quality).
Part of density, though, is making sure the survival rate of the transplanted hairs is high. I've seen some people get a densely packed HT, but then its end result ends up looking too sparse. But there are also examples of densely packed HT which end up looking great.
Aside from picking a good surgeon and following the after care instructions, what else is needed to ensure the transplanted hairs survive? Are some after care instructions more important than others? Or is it just luck of the draw?
