Surgery Procedure Information
The surgery takes about 4~5 hours to perform. It can be done by either local or general anesthesia depending on the method. Hair transplantation surgery is a procedure in which hair is moved from the back or sides of the scalp, where the hair is permanent, to areas that are sparse or bald on the front or top. This can be done by removing a single strip of scalp and hair or removing the follicles individually depending on the number of grafts needed. Many surgeries involve between 1,000 and 3,000 grafts. Once transplanted, the hair will continue to grow for a person’s lifetime.
