If you are planning to opt for a hair transplant surgery for the treatment of your hair loss then it’s the wise choice because it is the only effective and permanent treatment.

So, the most important part during the hair transplant surgery is the extraction process. The hair follicles are extracted from your donor areas like the back or sides of your scalp, for the implantation process.

Important Questions about Donor Hair Supply:

So here, you will learn about your hair grafts. Like:

  1. What’s actually a donor graft is?
  2. How it’s chosen from your donor areas?
  3. Do Hair Transplant Surgeons Harvest and Place All Donor Grafts?
  4. Why are hair follicles only extracted from your donor regions of the scalp?
  5. Why hair grafts shed after a couple of months after getting a hair transplant surgery?

1.      What’s actually a Donor Graft is?

The hair at your donor areas like the back or sides of your scalp is called donor hair supply or the donor hair grafts. Hair loss symptoms for both men and women are different, like in men hair loss progresses from the front part of the hairline, and stops at the crown region.

But in women, hair loss starts from their crown area and a large bald spot appears at their top region of the head.

So hair at the back side of the head is usually balding resistant that’s why they are used as a donor hair supply in the hair transplant surgery.

2.      How it’s Chosen from your Donor Areas?

The hair transplant surgeons have proper knowledge about your temporary and permanent hair. So that’s why they only chose healthy donor hair follicles for the implantation process.

3.      Do Hair Transplant Surgeons Harvest and Place All Donor Grafts?

If only healthy hair follicles are used during the implantation process then they will show better results with better survival rates as compared to weak hair at your donor areas.

That’s the reason, not all the donor hair grafts can be used during the hair transplantation due to the difference in survival rates.

4.      Why are Hair Follicles only Extracted from your Donor Regions of the scalp?

The common thing in both men and women is that the back portion of their head is often spared. This makes it the best part for the donor hair supply during the hair transplant procedure.

So due to the longevity, hair from the back or sides of your head is used as a donor hair supply. So that transplanted hair won’t fall out like temporary hair regrowth cycle.

5.      Why Hair Grafts Shed after a couple of Months after getting a Hair Transplant Surgery?

Shedding hair after getting a hair transplant procedure is normal. Hair is extracted from your donor area and then it’s implanted to your recipient area.

Neighbouring hair get stressed due to this process and they fall out after a couple of months, this phase is also known as the phenomena of shock loss.

It’s a temporary cycle, and once your transplanted hair loss cycle would be completed. Then your hair won’t fall out anymore.

Hair  Transplant Surgeons at the Hair Transplant Clinic:

The hair transplant surgeons at the hair transplant clinic are well trained and they can cover your bald spot on your scalp with very limited donor hair supply.

They are also able to predict the future hair loss and according to that, they perform a hair transplant on you so that you won’t suffer from the future hair loss.

If you are thinking that, you should opt for a hair transplant surgery while your donor hair supply is still full. Then it’s not a wise decision because once your hair loss reaches to its higher stages then it would be easy to stop it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to stop your hair loss before it progresses.

Wait until your hair loss is stabilized before a proper assessment can be done, getting a hair transplant before that won’t provide you with successful results and your hair will fall out after some time due to the progression of hair loss.
