What Is Hair Transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that permanently restores hair by transferring healthy hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp (the donor area) to areas affected by thinning or baldness.
Because these donor hairs are genetically resistant to hair loss, they continue to grow naturally after transplantation, providing permanent results.
Today’s hair transplant procedures are dramatically different from older “hair plug” techniques that were commonly performed decades ago. Modern hair restoration focuses on transplanting naturally occurring follicular units, allowing for softer hairlines, improved density, and virtually undetectable results.
Dr. Michael Shehata harvesting grafts from the donor area.
Advanced Hair Transplant Techniques
Dr. Michael Shehata performs both Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to provide personalized treatment based on each patient’s hair loss pattern and goals.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
During FUT hair transplantation, a thin strip of hair-bearing skin is carefully removed from the donor area on the back of the scalp. Under specialized microscopic magnification, this strip is meticulously divided into individual follicular units containing one to four hairs.
Tiny recipient sites are then created in the thinning or bald areas, and each graft is strategically placed to recreate a natural hairline and maximize density.
FUT is often an excellent option for patients requiring a larger number of grafts during a single procedure.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE hair transplantation involves harvesting individual follicular units directly from the donor area using specialized instruments.
Because no strip of scalp is removed, FUE leaves tiny, nearly invisible donor sites that heal quickly. The harvested grafts are then carefully implanted into the recipient area using the same artistic techniques that produce natural-looking results.
FUE is a popular choice for patients who prefer shorter hairstyles or desire minimal visible scarring.
FUT vs. FUE: Which Hair Transplant Technique Is Right for You?
Both FUT and FUE provide outstanding, permanent hair restoration results.
During your consultation, Dr. Shehata will evaluate:
- Your pattern of hair loss
- Donor hair availability
- Hair characteristics
- Desired hairstyle
- Long-term goals
Based on this evaluation, he will recommend the technique that offers the best outcome for your individual situation.
Hair Transplant Recovery
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days following their procedure.
After transplantation:
- Tiny scabs naturally heal within 10-14 days.
- Transplanted hairs temporarily shed during the first several weeks.
- New hair growth typically begins around three to four months after the procedure.
- Hair continues to thicken over the next 12–18 months.
Because the transplanted follicles are permanent, they continue to grow naturally for years to come.
Are You a Candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery?
Hair transplantation may be an excellent option if you are experiencing:
- Male pattern baldness
- Female pattern hair loss
- Receding hairline
- Thinning crown
- Hair loss following injury or previous surgery
The best candidates have healthy donor hair and realistic expectations regarding their results.
During your consultation, Dr. Shehata will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine whether hair transplantation is right for you.
