It also creates a very distinct skin-hair color contrast. A lot of surgeons approach Asian hair transplant with much hesitation because of the challenging aspect of making it look completely natural.
The dark hair and light skin contrast is an important factor to consider in achieving maximum aesthetic results after the procedure. This tends to make the outcome less full compared to light hair on light skin. In such cases, the marked contrast tend to exaggerate the spaces between the hairs. But when skin and hair color tend to match and are within the same shade, the skin color will act as a filler for the spaces between the hair shafts.
This is the reason why surgeons would do additional hair transplant sessions to achieve the coverage appropriate for the patient. Due to the coarse nature of Asian hair, it makes for large grafts and this has the tendency to look more pluggy. But under the expertise of a highly skilled surgeon, this will actually work for the better.
Since hair shaft diameter is an important factor in creating volume, which is even more important than the actual number of hairs, this creates more impact for the overall result of the implant. Many are also concerned of the coarse nature of Asian hair and whether if it is appropriate to be used on the frontal hairline. But surgeons today, with the improvement in techniques, are able to work around it to create a desirable outcome, which keeps Asian hair characteristics.

Hair transplantation is in demand worldwide, but because Asian hair tends to be more sparse and coarse than Caucasian hair, transplantation procedures need.
Asian hair also tends to lie slightly perpendicular to the scalp therefore, it has the tendency to stand from the scalp. This is even the reason why a lot of Asian babies have their hair point straight out.
Caucasians have their hair lie relatively flat with its more acute angle. When Asian hair is worn long, the thick hair shafts weigh it down causing it to bend downward creating yet again that illusion of fullnes.
But the concern now is in men who most of the time prefer to wear their hair short, so when they have it cut, the length causes the hair to stick out allowing any onlooker to see easily view the scalp. This holds a certain bearing particularly on the type of closure that will be used.
A low tenion closure would be more appropriate to create less visible scarring if the patient wants to wear his hair short. The chances of keloid formation, which is also prevalent in Asians, is also a special consideration. Another concern is that there is low folllicle density in the donor area, which also means that there is less available donor hair that can be used for transplantation. This can be a problem when correcting severe forms of hair loass.
Today, there are more surgeons who have developed better skills and expertise in performing hair transplant on Asians. With better knowledge on the characteristics of Asian hair, they are now able to customize their approach better.
