How is hair transplant surgery performed?

Hair transplantation mainly consists of 4 stages.
These stages are:

Preparation for Hair Transplantation

Graft Harvesting

Recipient Site Creation

Transplantation of Hair Follicles

Preparation for Hair Transplantation

The preparation stage involves disinfection of the harvesting (donor) and transplantation (recipient) area, and more importantly, the administration of anesthesia.

Although it is a procedure before hair transplantation, in a sense, the phase that determines the comfort of the operation is this stage where anesthesia is is administered.

Anesthesia in Hair Transplantation

Hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia, which is administered through injection.

Graft Harvesting

After administering anesthesia in hair transplantation, the process is to separate hair follicles from the skin using a motorized punching device.

Graft harvesting is a crucial step of hair transplant surgery as it determines the final results.

The goal is to give the most natural and perfect look after the surgery without leaving behind any traces of a surgical procedure. So to make the procedure scarless, the grafts should be harvested in a regular pattern skipping some follicles in between. When the leftover follicles grow hair, they should give a uniform density sufficient to cover the extracted areas.

Recipient Site Creation

Recipient site creation is another important step. The deciding factor of how natural the results will be after the surgery depends on the density achieved, keeping in mind the right angles and direction of hair growth.

Recipient site incisions are made following these two factors to give the most natural results.

Transplantation of Hair Follicles

Implantation of the extracted hair follicle grafts in the last step. The surgeon needs to be careful not to damage the hair roots while holding and transferring them during the implantation. We follow highly advanced techniques to maximize graft survival and their maximum growth.

What should I expect during my hair transplant recovery?

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is associated with a shorter recovery time than other hair transplant surgeries. Hence, FUE is the most popular procedure performed across the globe.

Use anti-inflammatory pain killers such as Paracetamol to reduce the pain and discomfort that occurs after surgery.

Take a few days off from work to allow bruising and swelling around your hairline to subside.

It’s absolutely normal if your scalp looks pink and feels tight. The areas where the donor's hair has been implanted will have crusted or formed scabs which will fall off a few days later.

What are the DOs and DONTs post hair transplant surgery?

When can I expect to see the hair growth?

The newly transplanted hair will shed; it is a normal reaction to hair transplant known as ‘thermal shock.’ After hair sheds, they will start to regrow in 5 - 6 weeks.

The transplanted hair grafts start growing new hair. After three months, the newly grown hair starts following the normal growth/ loss cycle. Boost the growth of this hair by opting for a PRP session.

Witness the full result of your hair transplant between 6 and 12 months after the surgery.

What are the side effects and risks of hair transplant surgery?

Hair transplant surgery is normally safe when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon. Still, because everybody is unique in their body heals, the result can never be 100% predicted.

As in any surgical procedure, an infection may occur. Excessive bleeding and/or wide scars may occur.

There is also a risk that some grafts are not “taken up,” i.e., some grafts fail to establish blood supply at the recipient site. So these grafts fail to grow and produce hair. If the proportion of failed grafts is high, it may lead to repair surgery.

Sometimes, there may occur a complication called “cobblestoning.” In this, the grafts are seen as raised bumps. Can do nothing much in this condition except camouflaging it with surrounding hair.

Lastly, if the client is not compliant with the anti-hair loss treatment post-surgery, the existing hair may gradually thin out and disappear, leaving an island of transplanted hair in the front, which looks patchy and unnatural. In such cases, a second surgery to cover the new bald area is required.

Is a hair transplant painful?

Hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia and is injected locally on the scalp. There are many measures by which the pain can be reduced and kept very minimal. One can expect an ant bite sensation at the site of injection, which is very much tolerable. However level of minimal pain experienced can vary depending on the pain threshold of an individual.

Is hair transplant safe?

Hair transplant is performed under local anesthesia, and it is comparatively a safer procedure than more complex other surgeries done under general anesthesia.

It is always advisable to get your hair transplant done by a registered dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon only at a hair transplant clinic with a sterile hair transplant OT, operation theatre.

Is hair transplant permanent?

Yes, the transplanted hair is permanent and lasts longer as it is hormone-independent but may still show wear and tear as age advances due to the process of aging.

How is PRP used in hair transplantation?

PRP is used during all FUE procedures. The advantages of using PRP are:

Faster healing of the tissues, both in the donor as well as the recipient areas.

Prolongation of the active growth phase ( anagen) of the hair follicles.

Better survival of the transplanted follicles in the recipient area.

Increased uptake of the grafts in the recipient area.

PRP primarily works by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in the transplanted area, thus facilitating the growth of hair follicles in all types of hair transplants.

PRP treatment is hence recommended to be taken post hair transplant surgery to enhance the growth of transplanted hair and the existing hair.

Female Hair Transplant:

What are hair transplant procedures recommended for women?

Hair thinning is a widespread problem in women as well. It usually occurs because of advancing age and hormonal changes associated with menopause.

FUE is usually the surgical treatment of choice in female hair transplants for filling in thinning areas.

What is the procedure of eyebrow transplant?
