Although hair transplantation is promoted as a process with a permanent result, it would be more reasonable to say that it will last for 20-30 years depending on your age and genetics. Donor hair at the back scalp area (that moves to the front during hair transplant) claimed to be “permanent”, is not always permanent, indeed and gets thinner, albeit to some extent, in most men with age.
The patient often experiences a temporary hair loss within 2 to 4 weeks following a hair transplant operation. Hair starts to grow back following the shock hair loss period.
The operation may take 6 to 9 hours. Approximately 3,000 to 4,500 grafts are collected in a single session. The patient may undergo a few more sessions if the operation does not bring out the desired outcome. The number of grafts to be collected for a hair transplant operation changes depending on the hair type of the patient.
Your hair will start to grow from hair roots within as soon as a few weeks. You may need to wait for 9 to 16 months to get the best result.
