The Basics of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a minor outpatient
surgery that simply relocates existing hair follicles from the donor
site to the balding area. The procedure first begins with the surgeon
removing a donor strip from the donor site, which is often located
on the back or side of the scalp. The donor strip is further cut into
3 sizes of grafts — the micro graft, the follicular unit, and
the bi-follicular unit. The grafts are inserted into pre-cut micro
slits that are strategically designed to aesthetically improve the
density of your existing hair, lower the hairline, and fill in balding
areas.
- A typical hair transplant procedure
is about 3 to 5 hours long depending on the number of grafts desired.
- The procedure is performed by
a team of professionals consisting of one surgeon and 4 to 5 surgical
technicians.
