Everything you need to know about hair transplant at Ashutosh Memorial Hospital
General Questions
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back and sides of the scalp) to a bald or thinning area. The transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss and continue to grow permanently in their new location.
Yes, hair transplant provides permanent results. The transplanted follicles are taken from the DHT-resistant donor zone and will continue to grow for life. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why a comprehensive treatment plan is important.
The ideal age for a hair transplant is typically 25 years and above, when the hair loss pattern has stabilised. Performing a transplant too early may lead to unnatural results as hair loss progresses. Dr. K.M. Mishra will assess your hair loss pattern and advise the right time for surgery.
Yes, women can benefit from hair transplant surgery, particularly for female pattern hair loss, traction alopecia, or hairline lowering. The long hair transplant technique is especially popular among women as it does not require shaving the head.
Absolutely. At Ashutosh Memorial Hospital, Dr. K.M. Mishra designs each hairline and implants every graft at the correct angle, direction, and density to ensure results that are completely indistinguishable from natural hair growth.
Good candidates have sufficient donor hair density, stable hair loss, and realistic expectations. The best way to determine candidacy is through a free consultation with Dr. K.M. Mishra, who will assess your scalp, hair loss grade, and overall health before recommending a treatment plan.
Procedure & Recovery
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will feel minimal discomfort during surgery. Most patients experience mild soreness and swelling for 2–3 days post-procedure, which is easily managed with prescribed pain medication.
Depending on the number of grafts required, a hair transplant procedure typically takes 6–10 hours. It is performed as a day procedure, meaning you can return home the same day. Larger sessions may be split across two days.
Transplanted hair sheds within the first 2–4 weeks (shock loss), then begins to regrow from month 3–4. Significant growth is visible by month 6–8, and the final, full results are achieved between 12–18 months after the procedure.
Most patients return to desk work within 3–5 days after FUE. FUT patients may need 7–10 days. Physical labour and strenuous exercise should be avoided for 2–3 weeks. Dr. Mishra will provide detailed post-operative instructions tailored to your procedure.
Hair transplant is a safe, well-established procedure. Temporary side effects include swelling, redness, and mild itching in the treated areas. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon in a sterile environment, as at Ashutosh Memorial Hospital.
