You've probably noticed that even balding men have plenty of hair on the back and sides of their heads. Hair transplantation uses these healthy hair follicles as donor hair.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure. After anesthetizing your donor area, a small section of your scalp tissue will be surgically removed. The scalp is very elastic, so the area is simply pulled together and sutured, just like if you had a mole removed from your arm. Using magnification, our hair transplant surgery team will separate your donor hair strip, which may contain thousands of hairs, into follicular unit grafts and micro-grafts.
Where the transplanted hairs are placed, how they are angled, and in what size combinations are the critical elements to obtaining a good result. This is where the training and expertise of MHR's doctors play a key role. Your hair transplantation surgery will take anywhere from 3 - 6 hours and will be done in an outpatient facility, so you can return home after surgery.
