Hair Transplant surgery is as much an art as it is a science. The goal is tocreate a completely natural looking result that's consistent with thepatient's hair supply, the patient's specific hair characteristics, and justas importantly, the patient's goals.During the hair transplant procedure a thin strip of DHT resistant hairbaring tissue is removed from the back and the sides of the scalp. The sizeof this strip is dependent on the total number of follicular units or graftsthat need to be redistributed to the patient's balding and thinning areas.After removal of the donor tissue, the area from where the strip is removed is sutured or stapled closed. The suture line is easily covered by thepatient's existing hair, and in most cases heals to the point of beingimperceptible when performed correctly.
