Ideal candidates for a hair transplant are individuals who have permanent hair loss or thinning in one or more areas of the scalp and wish to restore their natural appearance. It is also important for the patient to be in good health. Additionally, having realistic expectations about the results of the procedure and being willing to follow postoperative care instructions is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes.
Among the different hair transplant techniques, in our practice, we specialize primarily in the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. This innovative method offers several notable advantages over other options. FUE involves extracting individual follicular units from the donor area of the scalp, which are then transplanted to the recipient area.
One of the main advantages of the FUE technique is its ability to provide superior aesthetic results with minimal scarring. Unlike the FUT (Strip Technique or Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE does not leave a visible linear scar in the donor area, allowing patients to wear short hair without concerns. Additionally, FUE offers a faster recovery time and less postoperative discomfort compared to other hair transplant techniques.

Hair transplant surgery should not be painful as it is performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the scalp and prevents the patient from feeling pain during the procedure. However, the patient may experience some discomfort or a sense of pressure in the surgical area while it is being conducted.
In addition to the scalp, hair transplant can be used to address hair loss in other areas, such as the beard, mustache, and eyebrows. The surgeon will determine which areas are suitable for the extraction and transplantation of hair follicles based on the type and degree of hair loss experienced by the patient.
The results of a hair transplant can vary depending on the amount of transplanted hair and the skill of the surgeon. Typically, it is expected that transplanted hair will begin to grow around 3 to 4 months after the procedure and reach its full growth in approximately a year. However, most patients may see a significant improvement in the density and volume of transplanted hair within 6 to 9 months. It is important to note that results may vary from person to person, and multiple hair transplant sessions may be required to achieve the desired outcome.
The results of a hair transplant are generally permanent, but over time, there may be a slight decrease in the density of transplanted hair due to natural aging and hair loss in non-transplanted areas. It may be necessary to take medications or undergo additional treatments to maintain the health of transplanted hair and prevent further hair loss. It is important to follow the recommendations of the surgeon and maintain good hair care for the best long-term results.
The success rate of hair transplantation can vary depending on the type of technique used and the skill of the surgeon. Generally, most patients are expected to have a success rate of 90% or higher in terms of hair growth after the transplant. However, it's important to note that the success of hair transplantation also depends on other factors, such as the patient's compliance with postoperative care instructions and the overall health of existing hair.
The risks and potential complications of hair transplantation include infection, bleeding, swelling, pain, itching, scarring, and temporary hair loss. In rare cases, there may be more serious complications such as allergic reactions or cysts.
