preview long hair technique classic hair transplant technique hair transplant donor area

TLDR The preview long hair technique offers immediate results and better satisfaction than the classic method.

The document compared the preview long hair technique with the classic hair transplant technique. The classic method involved shaving hair from the donor area and transplanting it while short, requiring patients to wait 6-12 months to see results. The preview long hair technique allowed for immediate visualization of the potential outcome, as it did not require shaving the donor area. This technique provided patients with a more immediate assessment of the transplant's aesthetic impact, potentially improving satisfaction and decision-making.
