TLDR Hair restoration is key for facial rejuvenation and its success relies not only on the surgeon but also on a skilled team, especially in graft preparation and placement.

The document "Aesthetic Principles for Hair Restoration" from 2007 emphasized the importance of hair restoration in facial rejuvenation, which was often overlooked. The authors noted that the scarcity of qualified surgeons performing hair restoration was due to the lack of training programs and the need for an experienced hair-transplant team for successful outcomes. The procedure's success was not solely dependent on the surgeon's skills but also on the supportive team's abilities, particularly in graft preparation and placement.
