The surgeon must initially explain the stages of the hair transplant process to the patient and assure them that the shedding of transplanted hair is a necessary and natural phase. This occurs due to the shock experienced by the scalp, but this phase ends after the third month. New follicles start to embed in the scalp, and new hairs begin to grow and appear on the scalp after the fourth month of transplantation. This time, the hair growth is permanent and is not affected by the genetic factors that caused the previous hair loss and baldness.
It is very rare for the FUE technique to fail, as this technique has a very high success rate of over 96%. However, in some cases, due to severe nervous stress, up to 10% of the transplanted hairs may fall out. This is considered normal because hair has a lifespan, and after 10 years, it may start to shed. The hair follicle then goes through a rest period of up to three months before it begins to grow again. Additionally, there are some cases where the patient does not follow the instructions given by the doctor and neglects to take care of their scalp, which can result in the failure of the hair transplant.

Since hair transplant surgery is considered a surgical procedure, there may be some slight pain, but it can be easily controlled with mild painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications. The duration of a hair transplant surgery, especially with the FUE technique, which is the most popular and effective, typically ranges from 5 to 8 hours. This depends on the number of follicles to be transplanted. In FUE hair transplantation, each follicle is individually harvested and transplanted, which naturally takes a considerable amount of time. However, rest assured that the doctor usually provides the patient with breaks between the follicle extraction and the transplantation process to ensure comfort and optimal results.

Yes, especially when the surgeon performing the procedure is skilled and experienced, and employs modern equipment and techniques. This allows for the transplantation of new follicles at consistent dimensions, specific depth, and suitable angles, ensuring that the transplanted hair grows in the same direction and pattern as natural hair. As a result, transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing natural hair, making it indistinguishable. This is why it’s crucial to seek out a highly competent and experienced surgeon for such procedures.

Recovery time from hair transplant surgery varies from person to person, but generally, patients start to see improvement after 7 days and continue to improve over the next two weeks. After this period, all side effects such as redness or swelling begin to subside. After a full month, all the tiny incisions should be completely healed.

Yes, hair transplant surgery is possible for diabetic patients, especially if they have type 2 diabetes. Even those with type 1 diabetes can undergo the procedure after carefully monitoring and controlling their blood sugar levels. Regular follow-ups with an endocrinologist are necessary, and continuous specialized care with a qualified physician is advised.

Absolutely, smoking affects hair transplant results because it reduces blood circulation, making it difficult for oxygen to reach the scalp through the bloodstream. This can delay the growth and impact the outcome of the procedure.

The minimum number of follicles that can be transplanted in a single hair transplant procedure is 2,000, and the maximum is 7,000. Hair transplant surgery has managed to achieve the impossible by restoring a person’s appearance with natural, thick hair. However, this success depends on several key factors, such as choosing a distinguished and highly skilled surgeon experienced in this advanced cosmetic procedure. The patient should discuss all their concerns, expectations, and goals regarding the hair transplant results with the doctor. It is also essential for the patient to ask all the questions they have to understand every stage and step they will go through before, during, and after the hair transplant to avoid any surprises that might make them feel the procedure has failed.
