Hair Transplant FAQs

FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles, resulting in minimal scarring and faster recovery. FUT involves harvesting a strip of donor hair and may be recommended when a larger number of grafts is required. Dr Manoj Khanna recommends the most suitable technique based on hair loss pattern, donor availability, and aesthetic goals.

Individuals experiencing male or female-pattern baldness, receding hairlines, thinning hair, or hair loss due to trauma may be suitable candidates. A detailed consultation with Dr Manoj Khanna helps determine candidacy based on hair loss severity, donor hair quality, and long-term expectations.

Yes. Hair transplantation can effectively address female pattern hair loss, thinning along the parting line, and concerns about the hairline. Dr Manoj Khanna develops customised treatment plans to achieve natural density while preserving the existing hair.

Yes. A consultation allows Dr Manoj Khanna to assess scalp condition, donor hair availability, graft requirements, and expected coverage. It also helps create a personalised treatment plan and realistic outcome expectations.

Hairline restoration typically requires 1,000 to 2,000 grafts, while moderate hair loss may require 2,000 to 3,500 grafts. Advanced baldness often requires 3,500 to 5,000 grafts or more. The exact requirement is determined after a detailed evaluation by Dr Manoj Khanna.

Not always. Depending on the technique, graft requirement, and hairstyle preferences, Dr Manoj Khanna may recommend complete shaving, partial shaving, or selected donor-area trimming to ensure optimal results.

Hair transplant surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, making the procedure largely comfortable. Most patients experience only mild soreness or tightness for a few days after treatment, which is usually manageable with prescribed medications.

Most hair transplant procedures take between 4 and 8 hours. Larger sessions involving extensive graft placement may take longer. The duration depends on the number of grafts being transplanted and the technique used.

Most patients resume office work within 2 to 5 days. Scabbing and redness typically improve within 7 to 14 days. Strenuous workouts are generally avoided for about 2 weeks while the transplanted follicles continue to settle over the following months.

Transplanted hair usually sheds within 2 to 8 weeks after surgery, which is a normal part of the process. New growth generally begins around 3 to 4 months, noticeable improvement appears between 6 and 9 months, and final results are typically achieved within 12 to 18 months.

Hair transplants provide long-lasting results because the transplanted follicles are usually taken from areas resistant to genetic hair loss. When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr Manoj Khanna, the transplanted hair continues to grow naturally for many years.

No. Once healing is complete, transplanted hair can be washed, cut, coloured, and styled just like natural hair. Dr Manoj Khanna may recommend specific aftercare measures during the initial recovery period to support optimal growth.

Hair transplant surgery is highly successful, boasting success rates of 90% to 95% when performed by an experienced surgeon. Since the procedure uses the patient's own hair follicles, the risk of rejection is extremely low. Full, natural-looking results typically appear within 9 to 12 months. Dr Manoj Khanna focuses on maximising graft survival and natural-looking results.

Yes. Dr Manoj Khanna focuses on natural hairline design, precise graft placement, and appropriate density distribution to ensure the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair, making the results appear natural and difficult to detect.
