Hair Transplant

The entire procedure takes 3-7 hours, depending on the number of grafts. This is because each hair follicle has a different lifespan and grows at different rates. As such, the more grafts you have, the longer your surgery will take to complete. The average time is between 3 and 7 hours for a single scalp transplantation (which includes everything from prepping up to aftercare). The FUE hair transplant is the most popular choice among patients because it’s minimally invasive and leaves no visible scarring. This method involves harvesting donor hair from one part of your head, then using it to cover the bald area on another part of your head. The harvest can be done either in one sitting or over several sessions spread out over time.

The procedure takes about two hours and requires minimal downtime afterward. Your doctor will determine how many grafts you need based on how much coverage you need for each area and what type of shape your desired look is (for example, fullness in front versus length at the back).
