Will it be possible for others to see that I have had a hair transplant ?

A successful hair transplant cannot be identified. Even your hairdresser may not know that you have had a hair transplant. The transplanted hairs are your hair, they are identical in appearance and texture to your remaining hair, and will blend in with your remaining hair. In some patients, a careful examination of the scalp will reveal the scars from the donor sites. Of course, your friends who know you well will wonder why you have more hairs! Some patients clip their hair very short after their transplant so that their new hair growth will be hidden with the regrowth of their other hairs
