Before the hair transplant treatment, plastic surgeons usually run a few routine blood tests including CBC, HCV, Random Blood Sugar, HBs, ECG, HIV ELISA in all patients. These tests are done to detect and rule out any underlying medical issues that could complicate the surgery outcome.
In hair transplantation, small grafts of the hair-bearing scalp or a larger piece of the scalp from the donor site is cut and removed, and relocated to a bald or thinning area of the scalp. The grafts created for relocation can vary in shape and size.
The following techniques can be adapted to perform hair transplant surgery.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)
During the consultation, the hair transplant doctor is likely to give you a set of instructions to follow before the surgery. These may include the following:
The scalp would be very tender after the surgery. There might be mild to moderate pain in the scalp for which the doctor may prescribe medications. You may need to wear bandages over the surgical site for a few days after the surgery. To prevent any kind of inflammation or infection on the site, the doctor may prescribe an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory drug.
The transplanted hair would fall out within the next 3-4 weeks. By the next 2-3 months, you may notice new hair growth. In most cases, new hair growth can be seen after 6-9 months after the transplanted hair falls off.
Hair transplantation is a cosmetic procedure, which roughly means that the decision to undergo the procedure completely lies on the individual’s perusal. However, here are a few conditions which may warrant the need to undergo a hair transplant treatment:
Hair transplant is inarguably the ideal solution for any man or woman who is looking for a fuller head, a youthful look and an attractive appearance.
Here are some of the significant benefits of undergoing hair transplantation treatment:
The outcome of hair transplant depends on what you do after the surgery and how you take care of the scalp. To get the best results, it is important to do what is necessary and avoid doing the following with and for the newly implanted hair grafts.

The results of a hair transplant are considered permanent because you cannot undo them. However, the look after the hair transplant may change in the due course of time.
Hair transplant surgery is considered to be a safe cosmetic treatment but it should be performed by a trained and qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. However, the outcome of the treatment may differ from one individual to another depending on his physical reactions and healing abilities. In some cases, the individual may witness minor infection on the scalp which is likely to go away with time and medication.
There might be minimal scarring in both FUT and FUE hair transplantation techniques. The scarring will not have any effect on the surgery outcome and most likely will fade out with time and medicine. And once the hair begins to grow, the scarring will not even be visible.
You may be a right candidate for hair transplant surgery if you have healthy hair growth at the back and sides of the head to serve as donor areas. In addition, the following candidates can consider undergoing a hair transplant surgery.
You can expect a hair transplant to take anywhere between 4-8 hours to complete. In case, you need to transplant a large amount of hair, you may require to return to the clinic or hospital the next day and resume the process.
Since the scalp remains very soft after the hair transplant surgery, and is prone to infection, the doctor advises the patient to remain indoors for at least 7-10 days. Anyone with a heavy duty who has undergone a hair transplant surgery, should take at least weeks time before resuming work. The doctor will share the recovery period and recovery tips for your hair transplant surgery.
Hair transplant surgeries can be carried out on any individual who is above 18 years of age. The treatment does not include any major risks or complications for most people. But, most medical practitioners suggest that one should wait until 25 years of age before undergoing the treatment. This is because most hair loss patterns cannot be fully determined until that age.
As long as you have enough hair grafts at the donor site to facilitate the treatment and your plastic surgeon does not see anything wrong with your scalp health, you can undergo at least 2-3 hair transplants. Most plastic surgeons strongly discourage more than 3 hair transplants.
Yes, although the percentage is very small, women candidates do undergo hair transplant surgeries. Women who suffer from traction alopecia may undergo the treatment.
You can wash your hair the very next day after the surgery. You just need to be gentle with the scalp and not use any harsh chemical shampoo.
It is important for patients to wear a hat or a cap after hair transplant surgery to protect the implanted grafts. Wearing a safe head gear also protects that scalp from sun, dust and other pollutants.
It depends on the amount of area that needs transplantation and the number of sessions. The larger the bald patch, the higher the cost. The more the number of sessions, the higher the cost.
Hair transplant surgery is usually performed on an outpatient basis. The number of hair follicles used for the transplant depends on the results desired by the patients. While 1000 grafts are used to cover a smaller scalp area, up to 5000 grafts can cover a large scalp and provide better hair density. Book your appointment with the best hair transplant surgeon and discuss your goals.
My head looks fuller now. I feel so confident”
Rishabh (name changed, 33 years) has been suffering from unexplained hair loss for the last 4 years. He tried home remedies, homeopathic medicines and all other treatments. When one shampoo failed, he switched to another. He tried all kinds of hair oils hoping to see some changes in hair loss, but nothing worked. Gradually, Rishabh started feeling uncomfortable with his looks and appearance. His friends started calling him names to tease which came as a blow to his self-confidence.
It was then that Rishabh decided to approach Dr. Sharad Mishra, from Delhi NCR for hair transplantation. Upon consultation with the doctor, it was found that Rishabh’s hair loss was the result of environmental factors and an ill lifestyle. Dr. Mishra consulted him for his condition, explained the treatment to Rishabh properly and told him why the surgery could be the best treatment for him.
Rishabh underwent FUT hair transplant in January 2022. He visited the doctor for a follow up in June 2022. The doctor affirmed that he is recovering well and there has been a positive outcome with the implanted grafts.
“I have seen a good change, both just in my looks but also in my outlook. I feel so much more confident now. Thanks to Dr. Mishra, and his amazingly trained and professional team. Thanks to Pristyn Care.”
