Hair transplant surgery, planned like a specialist procedure.
Dr. Adil performs FUE and FUT hair transplant surgery with a focus on natural hairline design and graft survival — not just graft count.
FUE vs. FUT — what's actually different
Both extract healthy follicles from the donor area and relocate them — the difference is how the donor hair is harvested.
FUE Follicular Unit Extraction
Individual follicles are extracted one at a time using a fine punch tool, leaving tiny dot scars that heal without a visible line. Recovery is faster, and it suits patients who prefer to keep their hair very short.
FUT Follicular Unit Transplantation
A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area and dissected into individual grafts. It can yield a higher graft count in one session, at the cost of a fine linear scar covered by surrounding hair.
What happens on the day of surgery
Design
Hairline and density are mapped out with you, seated and awake.
Local anaesthesia
Donor and recipient areas are fully numbed before anything begins.
Extraction
Grafts are harvested individually (FUE) or via strip (FUT).
Implantation
Each graft is placed at a precise angle and direction for a natural look.
Aftercare briefing
You leave with written care instructions and a follow-up date.
Good candidates typically have
- Stable hair loss pattern (not still rapidly progressing)
- Sufficient donor hair density at the back/sides
- Realistic expectations about density and timeline
- General good health for a day-surgery procedure
When it may not be the right time
- Hair loss that's still actively progressing quickly
- Very early-stage thinning better managed medically first
- Certain scalp or medical conditions needing treatment first
Hair transplant questions, answered plainly
How many grafts will I need?
It depends on the size of the balding area and your donor density. Most patients need anywhere from 1,500 to 4,000+ grafts, which Dr. Adil estimates during your in-person consultation using a scalp assessment, not a phone photo.
FUE or FUT — which is better?
FUE is the more common choice today because it leaves no linear scar and has a shorter recovery. FUT can still make sense for patients who need a very high graft count in a single session. Dr. Adil will recommend one based on your donor area and goals.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted hair is taken from donor areas that are genetically resistant to balding, so those follicles typically continue growing for life. It won't stop existing non-transplanted hair from thinning further, which is why some patients pair it with medical therapy.
How long until I see results?
Transplanted hair usually sheds within the first month — this is expected. New growth begins around month 3–4, with visible thickening by month 6–9 and final results around month 12–18.
Does the procedure hurt?
The area is fully numbed with local anaesthesia before any extraction or implantation begins. Most patients describe mild discomfort during the numbing injections and little to none afterward.
