Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplant Surgeon

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual hair follicles from the donor area, leaving tiny dot scars. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a strip of scalp from the donor area, leaving a linear scar. FUE has a shorter recovery time but may require more sessions for large areas.

Good candidates have sufficient donor hair on the back and sides of the scalp, stable hair loss patterns, realistic expectations, and are generally in good health. A consultation with a hair transplant surgeon will assess your candidacy based on hair density and loss pattern.

Transplanted hair typically sheds within two to four weeks, which is normal. New growth begins around three to four months, with noticeable improvement by six months and full results visible between 12 and 18 months after the procedure.

Transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to pattern baldness and retain this characteristic in their new location. The transplanted hair is considered permanent, though existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, potentially requiring future treatments.

Risks include temporary swelling, numbness, infection, scarring, poor graft survival, unnatural-looking results if poorly executed, and folliculitis. Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks.
