Hair Transplant Surgery
A hair transplant moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to thinning or bald regions. Techniques include Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), chosen based on hair type, goals, and medical evaluation.
- Natural-looking hairline and density
- Long-term solution compared to temporary options
- Boosts confidence and appearance
- Customized treatment plans for current and future hair preservation
Adults with pattern baldness, thinning, or receding hairlines, with sufficient donor hair. Realistic expectations and commitment to postoperative care are essential. Each case is evaluated in consultation.
Pre-op assessment, scalp analysis, and plan development. Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation; lasts 4–8+ hours. FUE involves individual follicle removal with minimal scarring; FUT removes a strip for grafting. PRP may be used to enhance healing. Rest for a few days; crusts at graft sites clear in 1–2 weeks. Light activity can resume quickly; strenuous exercise is delayed 2–4 weeks. Follow-up visits monitor healing and early growth.
Shedding of grafted hair is common initially; new growth begins at 3–4 months, with refinement over 9–12 months. Transplants are generally permanent, though future treatments may be needed as natural aging progresses.
