Before surgery, do I have to cut the hair on the top of my head short or shave? Ýs the whole head shaved during the procedure and are there any marks like cuts or anything else on the head immediately after the procedure? Also, how long would it take to complete 1,000 grafts? Could it be done all in one day?
The hairs in the area of the transplant can be left as long as you wish, though cutting the hair short can often make our task a little easier. I only shave those hairs from the back of the scalp that are to be transplanted. After the procedure, you can expect tiny crusts to form where the grafts were placed, which last for about one week, and you can view a photo of this on my website. While most patients require more than 1,000 grafts to achieve any degree of density while maintaining a completely natural results, it would take about 3 hours to complete a 1,000 graft procedure.
