After a hair transplant, the recovery process involves a healing period of a few days to a week. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or scabbing in the recipient area. Following post-operative instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities and proper hair care, is crucial during this phase.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with hair transplantation. These may include bleeding, infection, scarring, temporary shock loss (temporary shedding of transplanted and existing hair), and in rare cases, nerve damage. However, when performed by a skilled professional, the risks are minimized.

The final results of a hair transplant can vary from person to person. Initially, the transplanted hair may shed, but new hair growth typically begins within a few months. Significant improvement can be seen within 6 to 12 months, with final results becoming apparent after 12 to 18 months.

It is common for transplanted hair to shed within the first few weeks after the procedure. However, this is temporary, and new hair growth will begin within a few months. The transplanted hair is generally permanent and not affected by the same factors that cause natural hair loss.

Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort or soreness may be experienced after the surgery, but it can be managed with medication prescribed by your surgeon.

In some cases, multiple hair transplant procedures may be necessary to achieve the desired density or to cover larger areas of hair loss. However, the decision for additional procedures should be made in consultation with your hair transplant surgeon, considering factors like donor hair availability, scalp laxity, and overall hair restoration goals.

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are permanently transplanted to people who experience hair loss. This process can be performed using different techniques depending on the cause of the hair loss.

Suitable candidates for hair transplantation are usually men and women with genetic hair loss and baldness. However, factors such as the general health status of the candidates and the progression of hair loss should also be considered.

Hair transplantation is usually performed by two basic methods: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). In the FUE method, individual hair follicles are taken from the donor area and transplanted to the area to be transplanted. In the FUT method, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area, then the hair follicles are separated from this strip and placed in the area to be transplanted.

Since local anesthesia is applied during the hair transplantation process, the pain sensation is minimal. However, you may feel mild pain, swelling or discomfort after the procedure. This condition is usually temporary and can be controlled with medications.
