Who is this surgery for?
- Male or female pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) that has stabilized.
- Hair loss due to trauma, burns, or previous surgeries requiring reconstruction.
- Thinning hair or receding hairlines where medical therapies (like minoxidil or finasteride) have been ineffective.
- Desire for a permanent cosmetic solution to restore hair density and hairline.
- Correcting or camouflaging scars from prior procedures or accidents on the scalp.
How to prepare
- Initial consultation with the surgeon to assess candidacy, discuss goals, and plan the procedure.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) and certain supplements as advised by the surgeon, typically 1-2 weeks prior.
- Avoidance of smoking and alcohol for a specified period before surgery to promote better healing.
- Washing hair with a prescribed antimicrobial shampoo the night before and morning of the procedure.
- Arranging for transportation to and from the surgical facility, as sedation may be used.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding and Infection: Standard surgical risks, though uncommon with proper sterile technique.
- Scarring: While FUE minimizes visible scarring, some minor pinpoint scars may occur at donor sites.
- Folliculitis: Temporary inflammation or infection of the hair follicles.
- Shock Loss: Temporary shedding of existing non-transplanted hair around the recipient area.
- Unnatural Appearance: Risk of poor graft survival or improper angulation leading to an unnatural look, emphasizing the need for an experienced surgeon.
- Numbness or Itching: Temporary altered sensation or itching in the treated areas.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediately After: The scalp will be bandaged. Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness in both donor and recipient areas are common.
- First Few Days: Sleep with the head elevated. Avoid touching, scratching, or washing the scalp as per specific instructions. Prescribed pain medication and antibiotics may be given.
- First Week: Gentle hair washing is usually permitted after 2-3 days. Scabs will form and begin to fall off naturally within 7-10 days.
- 2-3 Weeks Post-Op: Transplanted hair will shed ("shock loss"), which is a normal part of the process before new growth begins.
- Long-Term: New hair growth typically becomes visible after 3-4 months, with full results appreciated after 12-18 months. Protect the scalp from sun exposure.

Priya Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer,...
Priya Reddy, a 28-year-old software engineer, developed patchy bald spots (alopecia areata) on her scalp six months before her wedding. The sudden, unpredictable loss devastated her, clashing with cultural expectations and her own vision for her wedding day. Her trichologist, after limited success with steroid injections, referred her to a specialist in aesthetic surgery. The doctor recommended a combination of scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to create the illusion of density in the affected areas and a custom, integrative hair system for the wedding day itself. The SMP sessions were painless and precise. The recovery was immediate, with only minor redness for a day. For her wedding, she felt whole and beautiful. Emotionally, Priya's journey was a rollercoaster from shock and anxiety to profound relief. The solution gave her control back, allowing her to focus on her joy without the constant worry about her hair.
