Because a Transplant Is Never Just One Day
Organ failure rarely announces itself all at once. It's a gradual conversation between symptoms, tests, and decisions. Choosing the right transplant partner means choosing a team that's present for all of it:
The Before — Comprehensive evaluation, organ-matching, donor workup, and honest counselling on every option available, medical and surgical.
The During — Advanced surgical technique, robotic and minimally invasive options where applicable, and critical care protocols built around patient and donor safety.
The After — Structured recovery plans, immunosuppression management, and rehabilitation support for the recipient.
And Ever After — Lifelong follow-up, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and continued monitoring for both recipient and living donor — because two lives deserve equal, ongoing care.
Hair transplantation, a cosmetic surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure. Your surgeon will extract hair follicles from a healthy donor area on the scalp (commonly at the back of the head) and transplant them to a bald or thinning area of the scalp. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia.
The extracted hair follicles are carefully prepared before being transplanted in the bald area to ensure the best possible chance of survival. Considering the natural direction of hair growth, the surgeon will then create tiny incisions in the recipient area of the scalp and place the hair follicles. The outcome of hair transplant surgery is often permanent. It also restores confidence and self-esteem in people who have been severely affected by hair loss and baldness.
You can consider going for hair transplantation surgery if you are experiencing excessive hair loss. For example:
Baldness, both male pattern and female pattern
Thinning of hair
Receding hairline
Patchy hair loss (Alopecia areata)
At the Hair Transplantation Clinic at Manipal Hospitals, our team of extremely experienced Hair Transplant Specialists, Plastic Surgeons, and Cosmetologists will evaluate your condition thoroughly and prescribe the most suitable technique for you. You can clear all your doubts at any time throughout the treatment process because they ensure the dissemination of knowledge in a simple yet effective manner. They will also suggest other methods if you don’t qualify to undergo hair transplantation.
Simply put, hair transplantation means transferring healthy hair follicles from one part of your body to another. This is a highly effective solution to your hair loss problems. In the hair transplantation procedure, your face acts as the frame with right, left, and top sides. Our surgeon will remove hair follicles or a strip of hair from a relatively dense area, most preferably the back of your head. This site is referred to as the donor area. This is followed by the implantation of the follicles into tiny slits on the affected areas of your scalp. Our hair has a genetic resistance to go bald on the side or back of our scalp. This is why doctors consider these sections as donor areas.
Hair transplantation usually involves 2 methods:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Among the above two hair transplant techniques, the most suitable one for your baldness can only be decided by your doctor. They will consider parameters such as the extent of your hair loss and how tight your scalp skin is. In most cases, you can go home the same day after the surgery.
It may take around 3 or 4 months for the transplanted hair roots to reach the skin and grow.
Within 10 months, your hair will become dense and mature.
The transplanted area will change in this phase. You may notice some scabs or redness. Please understand that they are temporary and will go away after a few days.
The follicles will start falling off within 10 days.
The growth of the hair is generally 1-1.5 cm/month.
At Manipal Hospitals, we offer 3 other hair transplantation solutions for patients who are not fit for FUE or FUT.
PRP is a minimally invasive method to treat hair loss. It has been found that the platelet-rich plasma is filled with certain growth factors that can help regrow thinning hair.
This therapy involves the extraction of the best-rich plasma from your blood which is harvested in the blood bank. It is then injected into the areas with hair fall. Usually, you will need to take 2-3 PRP sessions at monthly intervals. This method can also be combined with FUE or FUT and certain medications.
The conservative treatment for hair loss involves the application of topical creams/gels and medicines. Before prescribing them, our doctor will thoroughly evaluate your condition and understand the reasons for your hair fall. Based upon that, they will recommend medicine to stabilize your hair fall. Such medical treatment must be followed rigorously for a long time. Besides, you will need to follow a healthy and balanced lifestyle as guided by your doctor for the most effective results.
This is the best alternative if you don’t want surgical procedures or medications. You can wear a wig or a hairpiece to camouflage the bald area. The best part is that you can even choose your preferred style and colour if you do not want to go for a regular look.
