Abstract
Many advancements have occurred in the hair transplant and scalp reduction field, including new instruments as well as newer techniques. Despite the effectiveness of the surgical procedure, camouflage of the surgical site during the recovery period is a problem that confronts the surgeon. For some patients, residual hair can be combed or brushed to cover the operative sites, while other patients prefer to wear hats to hide the effects of surgery. Scalp camouflage is a safe and effective aid for the hair restoration patient and usually consists of wigs, sprayers, makeup, and powders. The surgeon should have knowledge of the various means of camouflage in order to inform the patient of the options for postoperative concealment.Keywords
