The other surgical techniques are flap surgery, tissue expansion of the scalp, and scalp reduction. Dr Shruti Gupta is the Best Hair Surgeon in Delhi giving consistent quality results.
Hair transplantation involves extracting grafts from a donor site, usually the back of the scalp, and transplanting them into the recipient area, the bald area.It can be performed in two ways -
Flap surgery is more elaborate and involves rotating a flap of hair bearing area to the bald area.
In tissue expansion surgery, the hair bearing scalp is expanded using tissue expander, and then the expanded tissue is moved to the bald area.
Scalp reduction surgery is simply excising the bald area and suturing together the hair bearing areas on the scalp.
Anyone with a balding scalp and also a good donor area can undergo Moustache Transplant surgery
Donor area is the area from which hair follicle grafts are extracted. This includes the back of the scalp.
Additional factors like hair colour and texture also influence the Moustache Transplant results.
Moustache Transplant surgery can improve your overall appearance and boost your confidence and self-esteem.
People with hair thinning in the back of the scalp (donor area) and with advanced degree of hair loss are not suitable for Moustache Transplant surgery.
Also people with uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood-clotting problems or the tendency to form excessive scars, are at high risk of complications during and after surgery.
Moustache Transplantation mainly consists of 4 stages.
These stages are:
The preparation stage involves disinfection of the harvesting (donor) and transplantation (recipient) area, and more importantly, the administration of anaesthesia.
Although it is a procedure before hair transplantation, in a sense, the phase that determines the comfort of the operation is this stage where anaesthesia is is administered.
Anaesthesia in Hair Transplantation
Moustache Transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, which is administered through injection.
The process to be performed after the administration of anaesthesia in hair transplantation is the separation of hair follicles from the skin using a motorised punching device.
Graft harvesting is a very important and crucial step of Moustache 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 left over follicles will grow hair, they should give a uniform density sufficient to cover the extracted areas.
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 in accordance with these two factors to give the most natural results.
Implantation of the extracted hair follicle grafts in the last step. During the implantation, surgeon needs to be very careful not to damage the hair roots while holding and transferring them.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is associated with a shorter recovery time as compared to other forms of Moustache Transplant surgeries. Hence, FUE is the most popular procedure performed across globe.

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.

Witness the full result of your hair transplant between 6 and 12 months after the surgery.
Moustache Transplant surgery is normally safe when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon. Still, because every body is unique in the way their body heals, the result can never be 100% predicted.
As in any surgical procedure, infection may occur. Excessive bleeding and/or wide scars may occur.
There is also a risk that some of the 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, a repeat surgery might be required.
Sometimes, there may occur a complication called “cobble stoning”. In this, the grafts are seen as raised bumps. Nothing much can be done 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 then 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.
Hair thinning is a very common problem in women as well. It usually occurs because of advancing age and hormonal changes associated with menopause. Women tend to experience hair thinning more commonly seen as widening of the central parting. rather than a complete hair loss or bald patches.FUE is usually the surgical treatment of choice for filling-in thinning areas
Having a dense beard and moustache is the latest trend among men.
But not all are fortunate to have a dense growth for best styling. So beard and moustache hair transplantation comes the to rescue for people desiring an intense look.
Just like hair transplantation on the scalp, beard and moustache transplant also involves extracting hair follicle grafts from the back of the scalp and implanting them in the beard and moustache area by the FUE technique.The procedure is done under local injectable anaesthesia. Because FUE technique is employed, there are no stitches and it is practically a scarless procedure.
Anyone with sparse beard and/ or moustache growth desiring to have a better hair density can opt for this procedure. Also anyone who has lost the hair in this area due to any medical condition or traction alopecia, are also good candidates.
After one week, the transplanted area will look very natural. The donor area recovers completely within 2 weeks.
The final results are seen after 6-9 months. You will start to have a dense natural looking beard and moustache.
Eyebrow is a very important part of human face. It defines once appearance and characteristics. They form part of emotional expressions during communication with others.
Losing eyebrows can be more traumatic than losing hair from the scalp. Eyebrow loss may occur because of some skin diseases like alopecia areata, leprosy, advancing age, permanent makeup, and chemotherapy.Eyebrow transplant procedure is performed to restore the lost eyebrows.
Eyebrow transplant is a very delicate procedure requiring lot of care and attention.
It is done using the FUE technique as this is the technique that can provide the most natural and aesthetic results.
Before starting with the surgery, the primary step is to define the eyebrow shape and the direction and angle of each hair follicle. This should be done with utmost caution.
The overall procedure of eyebrow transplantation remains the same as that of hair transplantation on the scalp/ beard/ moustache.
Anyone with partial or complete irreversible loss of hair from the eyebrows can opt for eyebrow transplant.
One can start to see the eyebrow growth in 3 months, however, final results may take up to 9 months.
PRP is used during all FUE procedures. The advantages of using PRP are:
PRP primarily works by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in the transplanted area thus facilitating the growth of hair follicles.
PRP treatment is hence recommended to be taken post hair transplant surgery to enhance the growth of transplanted hair as well as the existing hair.
