About Hair Transplant

A hair transplant is a specialized aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedure designed to permanently restore hair in areas of thinning or baldness. It involves harvesting healthy hair follicles, typically from the back or sides of the scalp (donor area), and meticulously implanting them into the recipient bald or thinning sites. Performed by a surgeon specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, the most common techniques are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This outpatient procedure offers a natural-looking, long-term solution for hair loss, significantly boosting self-confidence and facial aesthetics. It is a precise art that requires surgical skill to ensure optimal graft survival, natural hairline design, and seamless integration with existing hair.

How to prepare

Initial consultation with the surgeon to assess candidacy, discuss goals, and plan the procedure.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications (like aspirin, ibuprofen) as advised by the surgeon, typically 1-2 weeks prior.
Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption for at least two weeks before surgery to promote healing.
Wash hair with a prescribed medicated shampoo the night before or morning of the procedure.
Arrange for transportation to and from the surgical facility, as you will not be able to drive post-procedure.
Eat a light meal on the morning of the surgery unless instructed otherwise.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding, infection, or swelling at the donor or recipient sites.
Temporary numbness or lack of sensation in the treated scalp areas.
Itching, crusting, or inflammation (folliculitis).
Poor growth or unnatural-looking results if not performed by an experienced surgeon.

Cyst formation or visible cobblestone appearance if grafts are placed incorrectly.

Recovery & hospital stay

Mild pain, swelling, and tightness are common for the first few days; prescribed medications can manage discomfort.
Sleep with the head elevated for the first week to reduce swelling.
Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and bending over for at least 2-3 weeks.
Gently wash the scalp as per the surgeon's instructions, usually starting 2-3 days post-op.
Transplanted hair will shed ("shock loss") within 2-4 weeks; new growth typically begins after 3-4 months.
Protect the scalp from direct sun exposure by wearing a loose hat for several months.
Attend all follow-up appointments to monitor healing and growth progress.
