FUE Hair Transplant
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a surgical procedure to restore hair to areas of the scalp with thinning or balding. It involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to the affected areas.
How is FUE Hair Transplant Performed?
During an FUE hair transplant, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a special tool that punches tiny holes around each follicle. The extracted follicles are then implanted into the affected areas of the scalp using a fine needle.
After Surgery Treatment
Recovery from an FUE hair transplant typically takes a few weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, which may include:
• Avoiding strenuous activity for several weeks.
• Taking pain medication as prescribed to manage discomfort.
• Keeping the transplant area clean and dry.
• Attending follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress.

Things to Be Careful About
While FUE hair transplant is generally a safe procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with it. These may include:
• Scarring: The donor area may have visible scars.
• Asymmetrical results: It may be difficult to achieve perfectly symmetrical results.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection at the transplant site.
• Hair loss: Some of the transplanted hair may fall out temporarily, but it should regrow.
If you’re considering an FUE hair transplant, it’s important to discuss the risks and benefits with your surgeon to determine if it’s the right procedure for you.
