Unshaven Hair Transplant

Planning options for patients who need camouflage, limited shaving, or selected unshaven approaches.

Unshaven hair transplant in Turkey

Overview

FUT strip surgery can be performed without shaving the donor area in suitable cases.

For FUE, options include recipient-unshaven FUE, limited-shaven strips in the donor area, and fully unshaven FUE in carefully limited cases.

What matters in the plan

  • Recipient-unshaven FUE shaves the donor area only.
  • Limited-shaven FUE camouflages donor strips with overlying hair but restricts graft count.
  • Fully unshaven FUE can increase transection and graft damage, so it should be limited and expert-led.
