It is completely normal to have the grafts shed after a hair transplant. It is part of the healing process and natural hair growth. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are taken from a donor area on the scalp (usually at the back or sides of the head) and are then transplanted into bald or sparse areas. After transplantation, the hair follicles enter a temporary resting phase, which can cause the grafts to fall out within two weeks after surgery. This phenomenon is known as “graft fall.” After the initial loss of the grafts, new hairs will start to grow. progressively from the transplanted follicles. This new hair should start to be visible over the next few months, and will continue to grow over time. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions for post-operative care to promote healing and hair regrowth. If you have concerns about hair transplantation, it is best to discuss them with your hair doctor to get information that is specific to your situation.
Hair transplanted during a hair transplant, whether collected using the FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) or another method, is generally considered permanent. This means that transplanted hair will not follow the same pattern of hair loss as hair that is prone to baldness. Transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas of the scalp that are resistant to hair loss (usually at the back and sides of the head) and are then implanted in areas that are bald or sparse. These transplanted hair follicles generally maintain their natural resistance to hair loss, which means they will continue to grow normally in their new location. It is essential to understand that hair transplantation does not necessarily prevent future hair loss in other areas of the scalp that are not being treated. If you have a genetic predisposition to baldness, you may lose hair in other areas that are not transplanted over time. Overall, transplanted hair is considered permanent and should continue to grow naturally. However, the success of hair transplantation also depends on a variety of factors, including the skill of the surgeon, the quality of the grafts, the quality of the recipient scalp, post-operative follow-up, and post-transplant care.
The minimum recommended age to have a hair transplant varies between clinics and hair surgeons, but in general, it is best to wait until the baldness has reached a certain stabilization stage before considering a hair transplant. In most cases, surgeons prefer that the patient has reached the age of 25 to 30 years before undergoing a hair transplant. This makes it possible to observe the evolution of hair loss and to assess the extent and pattern of baldness in order to plan the transplant appropriately. In young adults and teens, hair loss may still be ongoing and unstable. Premature transplantation may not provide satisfactory results in the long term, as baldness may progress and affect the transplanted hair. While waiting for the baldness to stabilize, it is advisable to discuss other medical treatment options for hair loss with a dermatologist or hair specialist. Treatments and other therapies may be considered to slow hair loss and promote existing hair growth. That is why we recommend that you make an appointment with our qualified hair transplant specialists to assess your specific situation, determine if you are a good candidate for a hair transplant, and advise you on the appropriate time to undergo the procedure.
Returning to work: Most people can return to light activities, such as office work after hair transplantation. However, this may vary. If your work is more physical and requires intense movement, you may have to wait a little longer, usually a week.Resuming sport: Resuming intense sports activity may require more time than returning to work. Generally, it is recommended to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before resuming sports activities that could result in excessive sweating, friction on the grafted area, or sudden movements. Your doctor will be able to give you specific advice based on your situation.
The pain associated with a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant can vary from person to person, but overall the procedure is generally considered to be relatively painless. During the operation, the transplant takes place under local anesthesia. This means that you should not experience severe pain during the transplant itself. However, some people may experience a slight stinging or tingling sensation when anesthetics are given, but this goes away quickly. After the transplant, it is common to experience some sensitivity or discomfort in the treated area, but this is usually bearable with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
The duration of a hair transplant may vary depending on the type of procedure used, the number of grafts to be transplanted, and other factors specific to each patient. In general, most hair transplants take several hours to complete. For the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, which is one of the most common hair transplant methods, the duration depends on the number of grafts to be extracted and transplanted. A small hair transplant can take about 4 to 6 hours, while a larger transplant, such as a full hair transplant, can take up to 8 to 10 hours or even longer. The FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique, another less common hair transplant method, involves the removal of a strip of skin containing hair follicles from the donor area. The duration of this procedure is generally similar to that of FUE. It is important to note that hair transplantation is a delicate procedure that requires time to ensure accurate transplantation and satisfactory aesthetic results. The competence of the doctor and his team also plays a crucial role in the duration and quality of the transplant.
The results of a hair transplant can be natural when the procedure is performed expertly. Modern techniques such as FUE allow hair follicles to be harvested and reimplanted accurately, mimicking natural hair growth. Qualified professionals take into account the direction, angle, and density of the hair to create a cohesive and harmonious look. However, the quality of the results also depends on the quality of the donor area, the skills of the physician, and post-operative care. When the transplant is performed expertly and recovery instructions are followed, the results can be extremely natural, giving patients a revitalized and authentic hair appearance.
