What hair transplant surgery involves?

A hair transplant surgery is a procedure that is carried out under local anesthesia sedation. This means that you will feel no pain during the surgery. There are two types of hair transplant surgery. Let’s discuss them both:

1. FUT or strip method (Follicular Unit Transplantation):

STEP 1: A thin strip of hair is removed from the back of the head or ears. Then it is divided into smaller fragments. Each fragment contains 1 to 4 hair each.

STEP 2: Then the grafts are placed into the tiny cuts made on the scalp.

STEP 3: The site having transplanted hair is not closed with stitches. For around 4 to 5 days the head/scalp is covered with a bandage.

2. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

STEP 1: The back of the head is shaved.

STEP 2: Tiny holes are made on the scalp.

STEP 3: The grafts are placed into the cuts.

STEP 4: You will now have lots of tiny scars, but they are not visible to everyone.

This is how hair transplant surgery takes place.

How much time will it take for a person to recover?

1. Most of the people are able to return to work in 3 days.
2. Whereas in some cases it takes 2 to 3 weeks for the people to return back to normal work.

After 4 to 5 days: Your bandages will be removed, but you will not be able to touch your grafts.

After 6 days: You are now able to wash your hair but gently.

After 10 to 14 days: non-dissolvable stitches can be removed now.

After a few weeks: The hair transplanted will shed off. Later, new follicles will be seen.

After 6 months: New growth can be seen easily.
