Hair Transplant Services in Patna

At Dr. Abhinav Hair Restoration, transparency is paramount. Here’s a detailed overview of what you can expect during your hair transplant journey in Patna:

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Abhinav Kumar personally examines your scalp using dermatoscopy to assess hair density, miniaturization patterns, and donor strength. We discuss your medical history, expectations, and goals. Based on this evaluation, we recommend the most suitable technique, estimate required grafts, and provide transparent pricing.

Step 2: Pre-Procedure Preparation

Once you decide to proceed, we schedule your surgery at your convenience. You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions including medications to avoid, dietary guidelines, and what to expect on surgery day. We may prescribe medications to optimize graft survival and minimize post-operative swelling. For unshaven procedures, we’ll provide specific hair length instructions.

Step 3: Surgery Day Experience

On surgery day, you’ll be comfortably seated in our state-of-the-art procedure OT. We begin with local anesthesia – a few small injections that numb the donor and recipient areas. Most patients report minimal discomfort. The extraction phase begins, where grafts are carefully harvested using (FUE or FUT). Simultaneously, we prepare recipient sites at precise angles and depths. Finally, grafts are meticulously implanted one-by-one, creating your new hairline or adding density to thinning areas. Throughout the 10-12 hour procedure (depending on graft count), you can relax, watch movies, or even nap. We ensure your complete comfort with breaks as needed.

Step 4: Immediate Post-Operative Care

After the procedure, we’ll apply bandaging if required and provide detailed aftercare instructions. You can walk out of the clinic on your own – no hospitalization needed. We’ll prescribe pain medications (though most patients need minimal pain relief), antibiotics to prevent infection, and anti-inflammatory medications. You’ll receive instructions on sleeping position, washing protocols, and activity restrictions for optimal healing.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Growth Timeline

We schedule follow-up appointments at specific intervals – typically at 1 week (for bandage removal and first wash), 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Here’s what to expect in terms of results:

• Days 1-10: Recipient area forms tiny scabs around transplanted grafts. Donor area heals (FUE dots virtually invisible by day 7; FUT sutures removed at day 10-14).
• Weeks 2-3: Transplanted hair sheds (this is normal and expected – the follicles remain alive beneath the skin).
• Months 3-4: New hair begins emerging from transplanted follicles. Initially fine and thin.
• Months 6-8: Significant growth visible. Hair becomes thicker and longer. About 60-70% of final results visible.
• Month 12: Final results achieved. Full density, natural appearance, and permanent growth established.
