Antonio Conte’s Hair Transplant: Before, After, and His New Look

In the world of elite-level professional sports, the pressure to succeed is immense. Daily stressors can significantly impact overall health and contribute to hair loss.

One notable example is Pep Guardiola, who may be a victim of his intense appetite for success. However, the former Juventus and Chelsea coach, Antonio Conte, had the tactical upper hand in this match against hair loss. 

Antonio Conte and Balding: Why Did He Seek Treatment?

During his playing career, Conte discovered he had androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). This is a common genetic condition caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which affects specific areas of the scalp, including the frontal hairline, temples, and crown. 

Before he retired as a player, Conte underwent an FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) procedure. FUT is a technique of hair transplant surgery during which a strip of tissue is removed from the ‘donor’ area on the back and sides of the head from areas resistant to male pattern hair loss. 

After removal, the hair-containing strip is harvested of its follicles, and these are then transplanted back into the recipient’s area of the scalp, where the hair loss requires replacement. 

Unfortunately for Conte, despite two procedures performed in this manner, neither produced long-term results. This is what pushed him to shave his hair off after he took over Arezzo in 2006.

Transition to FUE: Antonio Conte Hair Transplant Before and After

In 2007, Conte flew to Vancouver, Canada, and underwent a modern hair transplantation technique, known as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant. 

An FUE hair transplant generally leaves minimal “dot-like” scarring due to the nature of individually removing hair follicles less than a millimetre in diameter.

This differs from an FUT strip hair transplant, which typically leaves a single linear scar in the donor area after the strip is removed.

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE): FUE is a meticulous technique that removes individual hair follicular units from the back and sides of the head, also known as the safe donor area, to an area of recession, such as the hairline and temples. In each follicular unit, also known as a ‘graft’, there are 1-4 hairs on average.

The relocated hair is resistant to the balding process, and when transplanted, it grows unhindered and potentially permanently.

This FUE method has become highly popular due to its minimal scarring, natural-looking results, and shorter recovery time. Most public figures opt for this method, as it allows them to return to the screen and resume public appearances soon after their hair restoration procedures.

It is estimated that Conte has spent around £30,000 on his hair transplant procedures in total. Fortunately, despite the initial expense, the continuous and rapid development of modern techniques, along with growing demand for this life-changing procedure, is making it cheaper and more financially viable to treat male pattern hair loss. 

Choosing a Surgeon-Led Clinic Matters

While a hair transplant is relatively risk-free and straightforward, achieving a natural-looking result requires the surgical skills and artistry of experienced surgeons, as well as a highly trained professional team of experts. 

Careful steps must be taken to ensure that the newly transplanted hair will look natural at the microscopic level. Single hair grafts should be placed at the very front of the hairline, creating a soft and fluffy appearance that complements a natural hairline. 

When surgery is performed poorly, larger grafts are often placed in the frontal hairline, resulting in a plug-like, harsh hairline that resembles the machine hair sewn onto a doll.

Another sign of a premium hair transplant is the close attention to natural hair directions. It is not uncommon to see hair transplants where the grafts stand up vertically, resulting in a very unnatural appearance. 

Natural-looking angulation suggests that any work done would have used precision equipment to control graft angulation accurately. An example of such equipment is the use of implanter pens, a technique our Surgeons specialise in.
