A successful transplant will give you a natural look with little cause for concern. Since its inception during the 1950s, great advances have been made in the techniques of hair transplant surgery so that transplants performed today are reasonably undetectable under normal daily circumstances. Temporary numbness, which results from interference with the superficial nerves during the grafting process, may occur in the grafted areas and surrounding areas as well. This temporary numbness should disappear in about three months, although it may take as long as eighteen months before full sensitivity returns to the area. Patients report neither discomfort nor interruption to their daily routine because of this condition.
Age plays no role in hair transplant surgery.
Dr. Kiely has successfully performed hair transplantation procedures on men in their sixties and seventies. He pays careful attention evaluating our young candidates who are experiencing MPB because he believes it is senseless to transplant hair preprogrammed to fall out. Experienced physicians can usually predict hair loss patterns. Rather than age, health and available donor area are the two most important considerations for a successful hair transplant. Once the surgery is complete, your newly transplanted hair requires no special treatment.
