Hair transplant is a surgical procedure used to restore hair in areas affected by hair loss or thinning. It involves transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, to areas where hair density has reduced. At Bombay Hospital Jaipur, hair restoration is planned after assessing the pattern and cause of hair loss, scalp condition, donor hair availability, and individual expectations.
Who May Consider Hair Transplantation?
Hair transplantation may be considered for individuals experiencing:
Male or female pattern hair loss Receding hairline Thinning around the crown Reduced hair density in specific areas Hair loss following certain injuries or procedures
A detailed consultation helps determine whether transplantation is appropriate and whether the donor area has sufficient healthy follicles.
Common hair transplant techniques include Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). With FUE, individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area. FUT involves removing a strip of scalp containing hair follicles, which is then divided into individual grafts for transplantation.
The appropriate technique depends on factors such as hair characteristics, donor density, degree of hair loss, scalp condition, and the desired restoration pattern.
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, and temporary scabbing may occur after the procedure. Transplanted hair commonly sheds initially before new growth develops. Hair growth takes time, and noticeable improvement generally occurs gradually over several months.
Your surgeon will provide instructions regarding scalp care, washing, physical activity, and follow-up after the procedure.
