What is the definition or description of: hair transplant?

Hair Transplant: Hair transplantation is more like transplanting plants than any other surgical transplant! the best results are seen with individual hair transplantation. The hair and its root are harvested and replanted in the area desired. Single hair transplantation takes longer, this is usually performed along the hairline. Farther back small groups of two or three hairs can offer more coverage.

Hair grafts: Hair transplants are skin grafts , containing all of the elements of hair follicles , that are surgically moved from a follicle rich site [back of the scalp] to the recipient site. This is commonly done and perfected for cosmetic purposes but originated for reconstruction of burn victims, etc.

Transplant: As the word describes, hair is moved or "transplanted" from a healthy area to an area where there is hair loss.

Hair transplant: Hair from the back of the head is rarely lost with age. Interestingly, orentreich showed that hair, when transplanted, retains the characteristics of the donor area, and not the recipient site.
