Why is the surgery done in a hospital OT?

A hair transplant is a minor surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from the back and sides of the head, where hair is genetically resistant to balding, to thinning or bald areas. The moved follicles keep their resistance, so they usually continue to grow for life.

Good candidates have pattern hair loss that has been stable for a while, a healthy donor area at the back of the head, and realistic expectations. People with very recent, diffuse or medically caused shedding are usually treated medically first and reviewed later.

The transplanted follicles are usually permanent because they come from areas resistant to the hormone that causes balding. However, your original hair around them can continue to thin, which is why many patients also use medical treatment to protect native hair.

Yes, when the hairline is designed for your face and age and grafts are placed at the right angle, direction and density. Unnatural results usually come from straight hairlines, wrong angles or grafts placed by untrained hands.

For people with stable pattern baldness and a good donor area, a well-done transplant gives permanent, natural hair that grows and can be cut like normal. Most patients say the confidence change is worth it — provided the surgery is done properly.

Not when the hairline is designed for your face and grafts are placed at the right angle and density. The giveaway in poor work is a straight, uniform line; natural hairlines are irregular, and that is what we build.

Yes, and it is a meaningful share of our work. Corrective cases need donor assessment first, since a previous surgery reduces available grafts — we tell you honestly what can and cannot be fixed.

Most surgeons prefer patients to be at least 23–25, because hair loss is still unpredictable before that. Younger patients can be treated, but the plan must account for future loss so the hairline still looks natural at 40 and 50.
