Hair Transplant Surgery
What is Hair Transplant Surgery? Things You Should Know Before Making a Decision
Hair transplant surgery is a procedure that helps address issues of thinning hair and baldness. It is a hair restoration technique that many people turn to for a permanent solution to hair loss. In this procedure, a specialist surgeon transplants hair grafts from areas where hair still grows — typically the back of the scalp — to areas experiencing thinning or baldness, promoting the natural growth of new hair.
Hair transplant surgery can effectively treat problems like thinning hair, receding hairlines, and bald spots. The newly transplanted hair will have a natural growth cycle, similar to your original hair — meaning it can shed and regrow over time. This is why some people refer to hair transplant surgery as “permanent hair restoration.”
Hair loss is a problem that many people face, which can lead to thinning hair or baldness. The main causes of hair loss come from a variety of factors, including
- Genetics, which is a common cause in both men and women.
- Hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which gradually shrinks hair follicles, causing newly grown hair to become thinner and finer over time.
- Stress, which can lead to more hair loss than usual, as well as nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of vitamin B, vitamin D, and iron.
- Diseases that cause inflammation or infections of the scalp, such as fungal infections, thyroid disorders, and autoimmune diseases, which can all result in hair loss.
- Accidents that cause scalp injuries, such as burns or scalds, can destroy hair follicles and prevent new hair from growing.
Current treatments for hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness vary widely. They include the use of hair care products, oral medications to reduce sex hormones, laser therapy to stimulate hair follicles, and permanent hair transplantation. Since the severity of hair loss and scalp condition varies from person to person, the appropriate treatment method may differ accordingly. It is best to consult with a specialist doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hair Transplant Techniques
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
A classic method where a strip of scalp with healthy hair is removed, usually from the back or sides, and transplanted to balding areas.
Steps of FUT Hair Transplantation:
1. Assessment and Planning
Evaluate thinning areas and plan the graft amount and surgical approach for natural results.
2. Strip Removal
Excise a strip of hair-bearing scalp and suture the donor site.
3. Graft Dissection
Divide the strip into smaller grafts, each containing 1–4 hairs.
4. Graft Implantation
Carefully implant grafts into the thinning area for a natural look.
Advantages of FUT
- High volume of grafts
- Long-lasting, natural hair regrowth
- Strong, healthy donor hair ensures high effectiveness
Considerations
- Linear scar formation
- Longer recovery time compared to FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
A less invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted.
Steps of FUE
1. Harvesting
Small punches are used to extract individual hair follicles.
2. Graft Preparation
Sorting and preparing the grafts.
3. Implantation
Carefully implanting grafts for a natural hairline and density.
Advantages of FUE
- No large scars
- Faster recovery
- Natural-looking results
- Ideal for smaller areas
Considerations of FUE
- Requires careful post-operative care to prevent infection
- Gentle handling of the implanted area is crucial
Advanced Micro-FUE (AMF)
An enhanced FUE technique using micro-tools for more precise and minimally invasive graft extraction and implantation.
Steps of AMF Hair Transplantation
1. Assessment and Planning
2. Micro Graft Harvesting
3. Precision Implantation
Advantages of AMF
- Minimal scarring, fast healing
- Very natural results
- Less discomfort
- Suitable for those with limited donor hair
Considerations AMF
- Requires high surgical expertise
- Generally more costly than traditional methods
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)
The most advanced technique, involving direct implantation without pre-made incisions.
Steps of DHI
1. Consultation and Design
Personalized hairline planning.
2. Donor Area Preparation
Numbing the area for painless extraction.
3. Graft Harvesting
Using the Choi Implanter Pen for precise extraction.
4. Direct Implantation
Implanting grafts directly with the same device.
Advantages of DHI
- Natural-looking results
- Minimal scarring
- Faster recovery
- Highly accurate implantation
Considerations of DHI
- Limited number of grafts per session
- Takes several months for full hair regrowth
- Does not prevent further natural hair loss
- Higher cost compared to other techniques
Post-Hair Transplant Care
Post-operative care is crucial for the success of a hair transplant. Not following your surgeon’s instructions could cause grafts to dislodge and result in poor outcomes. Strict adherence to aftercare protocols is necessary to achieve the best results.
