Hair transplant is a medical surgical procedure indicated for the treatment of hair loss (alopecia) through the redistribution of healthy hair follicles.

The procedure involves:

• Extraction of follicular units from a donor area (typically occipital scalp).

• Precise implantation into thinning or bald regions.

This approach allows for:

• Restoration of hair density and natural hairline.

• Proper alignment of hair growth direction and follicle orientation.

Clinical effects include:

• Improvement in overall hair coverage and appearance.

• Achievement of natural, long-term hair growth.

Treatment planning is individualized to ensure:

• Procedural safety and precision.

• Aesthetic results aligned with patient-specific hair pattern.

Hair Transplant – Postoperative Recovery and Travel Recommendations

Following hair transplantation, patients may experience:

• Mild to moderate postoperative edema, erythema, and sensitivity during the initial 1–2 weeks.

• Formation of temporary crusts in the recipient area.

Clinical course:

• Gradual shedding of transplanted hairs followed by new growth over several months.

• Final results typically observed within 6–12 months.

Postoperative recommendations include:

• Remaining in the country for at least 7–10 days following the procedure.

• Avoidance of air travel and short-distance travel (up to 3 hours) during the early postoperative period.

For extended travel:

• Journeys exceeding 4–6 hours should be postponed for at least 14–21 days.

• This recommendation is intended to support proper healing and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
