How much time is involved in Hair Transplant Surgery?
The time involved in Hair Transplant surgery can vary depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted, the technique to be used, the complexity of the surgery, and the extent of the procedure.
In general, Hair Transplant surgery can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours or more to complete. Since it is a long-lasting operation in general, it is preferred to start the operation early in the day. During the surgery, hair follicles are taken from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area. The donor area is typically the back or sides of the scalp where hair is more resistant to hair loss, while the recipient area is where hair is thinning or balding. The time required for the surgery will depend on various factors, including the number of grafts required, the technique used, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and the complexity of the procedure. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results.
It’s important to note that while hair transplant surgery can take several hours, the recovery process may take several weeks to months. It’s essential to follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
