Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces lost hair with healthy hair. The patient undergoes a general anesthetic, and a small incision is made on the back of the head. The surgeon removes a small amount of hair from the patient's scalp and transplants it onto the bald area. The new hair grows in and covers the old hair.

What is the Recovery Time After Hair Transplant?

There is no set time frame for the complete recovery after a hair transplant. However, most patients report feeling better within a week or two after surgery and generally resume their normal activities within a few weeks. Minor discomfort and swelling may persist for several months, but most patients are back to their pre-transplant routine within six to twelve months.
