Akon's Plastic Surgeries
In the Bootleg Kev show, Akon said that the surgeons took “grafts” from the back of his head. This does indicate that he had an FUE hair transplant, in which units of hair with 1-4 hair each (called grafts) are taken out from the scalp. This is done using a small punch tool.
Whether it's classical cosmetic enhancements like a boob job or more obscure things like eyelid surgery, here is a list of all the known plastic surgeries Akon has done:

Quotes by Akon
"Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that's what separates the legends from the regular artists. It's all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes."

"I love to just go to the movies, watch movies, listen to the scores and all that 'cause that's, like, the next step for me."

"Any album that you pick up of mine, you know it's an Akon album. The guests are very limited, and you get to really feel the experience. You get the Akon experience when you get the albums. I always want to make sure that stays the way it is. I don't want to flood the album to where you lose focus on why you bought it."

"Everything is a blessing to me."

"Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn't be triggered by a normal voice."
