Clinically, hair transplant surgery is known as Follicular Unit Transplantation. It can be carried out in two different ways : Strip Harvesting and Follicular Unit Extraction. Out of the two, Strip harvesting is more popular. In this process, a scalpel is used to remove hair bearing tissues from posterior end of scalp. Careful detachment of follicular unit grafts is done. Stereo microscopes are used for this process, so as to ensure proper removal of fatty tissues without damaging grafts to be transplanted.

Fine blades and needles are used to implant grafts on receiving sites. This technique leaves a thin scar on the donor site that gets covered with natural hair eventually. The recovery period for this process is about 2 weeks.

The second method is more or less similar to the first one. However, it has an added advantage of making very tiny punctures as compared to strip harvesting. Therefore, this method appears to be more natural and leaves no significant scar post surgery.

A common side effect associated with Hair transplant surgery is known as “Shock Loss.” Here, non transplanted native hair falls out after transplant. However, one should not worry as it is temporary and new hair returns back within a short duration of time.

Cost of hair transplant surgery in India ranges between INR 35,000 to INR 2,00,000; depending on choice of clinic and method used.

After surgery, surgeons help patients to shampoo their hair. This is an important step to prevent scabs from growing around your newly transplanted hair. Further, the operated area needs to be protected from sun and heavy rain for few days post operation. Slight swelling and itching may also be experienced. Scratching may lead to adverse effects. So, inform your doctor who can prescribe proper medication.
