Hair Transplant

Most patients are pleasantly surprised to find that the hair transplant procedure is less painful than anticipated. Local anesthesia is administered to numb the donor and recipient areas, virtually eliminating pain during the procedure. Some patients might experience mild discomfort during the injection of the anesthesia, but this is generally brief. Post-procedure, patients might feel some tenderness, swelling, or tightness in the treated areas. These sensations are usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medications and subside within a few days. Our team at SRGN provides detailed post-operative care instructions and remains available to address any concerns, ensuring that your comfort and well-being are prioritized throughout the healing process.

A hair transplant provides a permanent solution to hair loss. The hair follicles transplanted from the donor area are genetically resistant to the hormone that causes hair thinning, meaning they continue to grow naturally in the recipient area. Over time, the transplanted hair will follow the same growth pattern as the surrounding natural hair. It's essential to note that a hair transplant does not prevent the future loss of existing non-transplanted hair, so additional treatments or medical therapies may be recommended to preserve overall hair density. At SRGN, we take a comprehensive approach, considering your long-term hair health to provide lasting satisfaction.

Achieving a natural look is at the core of modern hair transplantation techniques, and our team at SRGN places great emphasis on this aspect. By selecting the appropriate method, planning the hairline design, and considering factors like hair density, color, texture, and direction, the transplanted hair is made to blend seamlessly with existing hair. Post-transplant, the hair grows in gradually, making the change subtle and organic. The artistry involved in this process requires extensive experience and skill, and our surgeons are trained to deliver results that honor each patient's unique characteristics, ensuring a result that looks and feels natural.

Recovery time after a hair transplant can vary based on the individual and the specific technique used. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within a few days following the procedure. Mild swelling or redness might be present but usually resolves within a week. Full recovery, including resumption of exercise and other strenuous activities, typically occurs within 10-14 days. It's important to follow all post-operative care instructions provided by SRGN, as adherence to these guidelines can greatly influence the speed and success of the recovery. Regular follow-up appointments will allow your surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns promptly.

Like any surgical procedure, hair transplantation may present some potential side effects, although they are generally mild and temporary. These might include swelling, redness, numbness, or itching in the treated areas. Occasionally, minor scarring may occur, especially in the donor area. With the FUE method, scarring is typically minimal and often unnoticeable. Proper post-operative care, including keeping the area clean and following specific washing and activity guidelines, minimizes the risk of infection or other complications. At SRGN, we provide detailed instructions and continuous support to ensure a smooth recovery, and we choose the best-suited technique for your particular situation to minimize potential side effects.
