Question 1

when should i start seeing hair growth after hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

4-6 months: You should start seeing hair growth after a hair transplant procedure (fue or fut) after 4-6 months. At this time you would see small short hairs growing. At one year you will be close to 90% of the result and 100% at 18 months.

Question 2

how long should i wait to swim after a hair transplant operation?

Accepted Answer

Usually 3 weeks: But it depends on the technique used and your surgeons preference so please ask.

Question 3

do i have to shave my hair to get a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

No: No haircut at all is neede before the surgery.

Question 4

what age do you have to be to get a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Maturity &gt; Age.: There is no strict age cut off for hair transplant surgery. e.g., I've treated many children who have suffered scalp or brow scars or other injuries that needed repair via hair transplant surgery. However, hereditary hair loss patients must demonstrate enough maturity to understand the need for ongoing medical therapy to prevent the further progression of the condition in the nontransplanted hair.

Question 5

i am 20, can't afford a hair transplant what do i do ?

Accepted Answer

Protect Your Hair!: Medical treatments like oral medications (finasteride, finplus, propecia), topical medications (minoxidil, rogaine, Formula 82M, bimatoprost, Latisse), laser therapy (LaserCap), PRP Platelet Rich Plasma w/ ECMs and other therapies can help stop the progression of hair loss. Seek an experienced, qualified, board-certified hair restoration physician to help evaluate, monitor and track your progress.

Question 6

is beard hair good for hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Not for your scalp: If you are considering transplants to the scalp then no, not good for that purpose.  Cannot remove enough to be helpful, plus would leave significant scaring on the face from where it was harvested.  Dr R

Question 7

is there some type of facial hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Repair of sideburns after bad facelift is done, grafts to missing parts of eyebrows is done, tattoo to give the impression of hair follicles in scars or a beard area are common.  If you're trying to grow a beard and don't have the hair for it, sorry.

Question 8

which surgery is best for me in hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Have a consultation: There are excellent physicians that specialize in hair restoration and you should consult with one or several to determine the best treatment for your condition.
In south florida, dr. Jeffrey epstein is a board certified ent/facial plastic who has dedicated his career to hair restoration.  He also has an office in nyc and i highly recommend him.

Question 9

what does itching signify after hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Hair surgery itching: Itching after hair transplant surgery could mean healing or hair growth. In the first few days, you should use the Healing Mist supplied in your postop kit on the FUE donor and recipient areas, then proceed to the moisturizing ointment in the small glass jar as the scabs flake off at one week. At around 6 weeks post FUE NeoGraft, many of the hairs are growing, which could cause itching too.

Question 10

hair transplant or not to transplant, which to do?

Accepted Answer

Hair Transplantation: As opposed to non-invasive hair regrowth treatments like 82m, prp, finplus &lasercap which protect &enhance hair growth from existing follicles, no-scar neograft fue hair transplantation moves permanent follicles into the severely depleted areas. Some patients need both non-invasive treatments as well as a hair transplant. An abhrs-certified doc can help you determine the best course of action.
