Dr. Ahmad Hosseinpour has presented FUT in the Middle East for first time.
Hair transplantation is an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia without the feeling of pain.

We excise a band in the donor area and harvest it with the use of advanced microscopes and prepare the follicular units to implant into the bald areas.

The procedure lasts for approximately 5 hours.

The Follicular grafts will be implanted as 1 hair graft in hair line and 2-3-4 hair Follicles in the mid-scalp or crown. We can also use slit graft, slot graft, recombinant or family graft for areas behind hair line.

You will be discharged without bandages after surgery.
You can watch TV, listen to music or read a magazine during the surgery.
You will have swelling 3-4 days after surgery for 48 hours. The swelling may be slight or severe.
Transplanted hair will shed 2-4 weeks after your surgery and re-grow 3-4 months after the procedure.
You may feel hypoesthesia in donor area for 1-5 months.
Interval time between sessions is 6 months.

 

   

The donor area is shaved.

 

The hairs are harvested from the back and/or sides of the scalp.

 

The narrow strip, which contains the hairs for transplantation, is removed.

         
   

After extracting the strip, the incision is closed and results in a virtually undetectable scar.

 

Existing hair at the back of the scalp will cover the scar.

 

The narrow strip is viewed under magnification using high powered microscopes.

         
     

Each individual follicular unit is harvested.

 

Tiny needle sized sites are then made in the balding areas of the scalp, and the harvested follicles are implanted.

Scabs will be present in the grafted area.

 

There will be some soreness, tightness and numbness around the donor area.

Scabbing and redness where the grafts were implanted will be present. Swelling will appear on the forehead and work its way down the face. This will only last a few days.

 

Soreness begins to disappear and numbness may continue.

2-8 Weeks

 

Transplanted hair is shed as the follicles enter a dormant phase.

 

There will be redness after the staples were removed.

2-4 Months

 

Your hair may appear thinner, as some original hair may be shed in the transplanted area. This is called "shock" and is normal. Most of this hair will grow back.
