Depending on the size of the transplant you’re getting, the process will take about 3 to 8 hours and local anaesthesia is used for the entire procedure. You will be asked to shampoo your head a type of surgical scrub on the day before, and on the morning of the surgery.Just before the surgery, "donor area" will be trimmed short so that the grafts can be easily accessed and removed.  After that the local anaesthetic solution is injected just below the donor area.Your surgeon will remove small sections of hair-bearing scalp, which will be divided into tiny sections and transplanted into tiny holes or slits within the scalp.  Normal saline will be injected to the donor area to maintain proper skin strength.  This will minimize bleeding. After the donor grafts are obtained, normal saline will be injected to the recipient area to tumesced.
