Hair Transplant in Delhi

Grafts are taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair generally resists the hormonal process behind pattern hair loss, and they usually keep that character after the move. The hair around them that was not transplanted can keep thinning with age, so medicines or a later session may be part of a long-term plan. No clinic can promise a particular density.

That depends on the area to be covered and on what your donor area can safely give, which is measured at the examination. As general bands, early temple recession (Norwood II) may need around 800–1,500 grafts, a receding hairline (Norwood III) around 1,200–2,000, and Norwood V around 2,500–3,500, sometimes over two sessions. The graft calculator gives a starting range; the examination gives your own number.

The local anaesthetic injections at the start are the uncomfortable part. After that the treated areas are numb, though you may feel pressure or pulling. Soreness, tightness or swelling for a few days afterwards is common and is managed with the medication prescribed for you.

Most visible healing happens in the first two weeks: swelling settles within about a week, and the small crusts around the grafts loosen and wash off by around day ten to fourteen. Gym, swimming and tight helmets usually wait three to four weeks. Growth takes longer — new hair appears from about three to four months, and the result is judged at ten to twelve months.

Common, short-lived effects are swelling of the forehead, soreness, numbness and itching, and small pimples as new hairs come through. Less often there can be infection, bleeding, temporary shedding of existing hair around the grafts (shock loss), cysts, or weaker growth of some grafts. Taking too many grafts can leave the donor area visibly thin, which is why it is budgeted. Contact the clinic promptly for bleeding that does not stop after 10–15 minutes of steady pressure, spreading redness or pus, fever, or pain that gets worse after the first few days. Hair transplant side effects and risks covers each one.

No. A transplant needs enough donor hair and a cause of hair loss that surgery can address. It is usually postponed or not advised with fast-changing loss, a thin donor area, diffuse thinning across the whole scalp, active alopecia areata, an untreated cause such as low iron or a thyroid disorder, or a medical condition that makes surgery unsafe. Then hair fall treatment or PRP may come first, and the question is revisited later.
