Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Pattern hair loss with a stable, healthy donor area at the back/sides of the scalp
  • ✓Realistic expectations about density and the gradual timeline of results
  • ✓Good general scalp health
  • ✓Non-smokers preferred for optimal graft survival

Procedure Details

Performed under local anesthesia. In Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), individual hair follicles are removed one at a time from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area; Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) instead removes a thin strip of scalp for follicle harvesting, leaving a linear scar. The choice depends on the extent of loss and personal preference. A session can take 4-8 hours depending on graft count.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-3 Mild swelling and scabbing at graft sites is normal; gentle care of the scalp is advised.
  2. Week 2 Scabs shed; transplanted hairs often shed too in a normal, temporary "shock loss" phase.
  3. Month 3-4 New growth begins to appear from the transplanted follicles.
  4. Month 8-12 Fuller, more mature density becomes visible as growth continues.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Temporary shock loss of existing hair near the treated area
  • !Infection or folliculitis at graft sites
  • !Visible scarring (linear with FUT, tiny dot scars with FUE)
  • !Uneven or patchy-looking regrowth in a minority of cases
  • !Graft survival is not 100% guaranteed

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long before I see new hair growth?
New growth typically starts around 3-4 months, with fuller density visible by 8-12 months.
Is hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted follicles are generally resistant to the pattern-baldness process, so results are considered long-lasting.
FUE or FUT - which is better for me?
This depends on the amount of hair needed, donor scalp characteristics, and your scarring preference - discussed during consultation.
Will I need more than one session?
Some patients with extensive loss benefit from a second session later to increase density further.
