Is this hair transplant picture rigged?

[Ardent]

I saw the following banner at some site about hair transplants (URL removed by Moderator). No description of the patient is given, and the results look extremely suspicious to me.

 

Is this person's "baldness" in the bottom pic just the result of a shaved head, and he isn't even balding, just made to look like it? Is this guy wearing a wig? Or is there a chance this extremely positive result could actually be legit?

 

Here's the picture:

Probably. Looks more like a hair system.

Whatever it is it looked good....

 

But if this is purporting to be a HT then it doesn't cut it.

It could be a HT with clever products and extra helpings of concealer but it's not an unaided result in my opinion.

 

The sad fact is, there's many pics posted like this within the industry which give the unsuspecting patient unrealistic expectations. Certain showcase patients on websites should be looked at with an open mind too.

if it was real , then it would be a `knockout ` result so you think he would at least be smiling !....

Just some random blog site I found while googling. A mod removed the URL in my first post, but if you view the image it's from that site.

This man seems to have had his head shaved into a NW6 pattern as the 'shadow' of stubble is visible in the 'before' photo. Regardless of what he has on his head, I think his hairloss was much less advanced than they are trying to depict.

Too good to be true...
