The cost for hair transplant surgery may vary based on the patient's specific surgical needs, surgeons' fees, and anesthesia and surgery center or hospital fees.
At first, it takes about 6 months before any significant changes are visible in hair growth. The complete results of the transplant will be visible after a year. Usually, a hair transplant will last a lifetime since healthy hair follicles are transplanted into thinning or bald areas.
Hair transplants are typically successful, but there are some factors to consider: between 10 to 80 percent of the transplanted hair will fully grow back in about three to four months. Like regular hair, the transplanted hair will thin over time.
Considering the local anesthesia and post-operative pain medications, a hair transplant is not painful. Although no surgery is completely pain-free, you may experience some levels of discomfort. In general, a hair transplant is an easy experience for those suffering from hair loss.
Since male balding usually takes till the late 20s to slow down, the best advisable age for a hair transplant is 25+. Hair transplants performed between the ages of 18 and 65 have given the most successful results.
Surgeons use high magnification to see the direction of pre-existing hair to guide the direction of implantation and to give your new hair a look as natural as possible.
Generally speaking an entire hair transplant ‘can’t fail’, but it is possible that a small percentage of the transplanted follicular units will not take root and will therefore not produce new hair growth.
Men with excessive hair loss tend to lose a lot of their hair before the age of 30, while others won't see any noticeable hair loss until they are in their late thirties and forties.
