The duration varies based on the number of grafts being transplanted but typically ranges from 4 to 8 hours for both FUE and FUT procedures. Larger sessions may be split across two days for optimal results.

Most patients begin to see new hair growth within 3 to 6 months after surgery. The transplanted hair may initially fall out (shock loss) before regrowing. Full results are typically visible after about 12 months.

While many patients return to normal activities within a few days, it's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks post-surgery. Most office workers can return to work within 2-3 days with FUE, and 5-7 days with FUT.

Patients who undergo FUT should be cautious about wearing their hair too short until the scar has healed sufficiently. The linear scar can usually be concealed with hair that's at least 1-2 cm long. If you prefer very short hairstyles, FUE may be a better option.

Yes! Hair follicles transplanted during either procedure are typically taken from areas resistant to balding (the back and sides of the head). These follicles retain their genetic characteristics and should continue to grow for the rest of your life.

The choice depends on several factors including your specific hair loss pattern, budget, desired recovery time, and personal preferences regarding scarring. FUT is often better for extensive hair loss requiring many grafts, while FUE is preferred for those who want minimal scarring and shorter recovery. Consulting with our experienced surgeon can help guide your decision based on your unique situation.

Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. You may feel some pressure or tugging sensations. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients report FUE being less uncomfortable during recovery compared to FUT.
