Best Hair Restoration doctors in Mumbai

40000 graft is a myth or may be wrongly heard. At max around 2500-3500 grafts can be implanted in one session and maximum 4000-4500 grafts may be implanted in two sessions. I have no idea about Chennai but surgery might take upto 6-8 hrs. and this varies from clinic to clinic.

In Hair transplant, one has to remember a few things-

1. Hair transplant is an ART. A natural result is very important. We take care of that by ensuring absolutely natural angles and directions of the transplanted grafts.

2. Equally important is density (how many grafts are transplanted per square centimetre). In 25 years of my experience, I have found that no one is satisfied by a low density hair transplant.

A great hair transplant, therefore, is one where the patient puts forward his choice of hairline design, on the one hand, and the doctor gives a natural look as well as the best possible density using all the available grafts from the patient's scalp, beard and body donor areas.

For the remaining areas, where the patient is noticing early hairfall or diffuse thinning, it's important to improve the epigenome of the patient.

Epigenome can be best described as the inner environment of the body, especially, around our genes. Epigenome is affected by a wide variety of things including diet, exercise, stress, illness, pollution etc. A stressed/flawed epigenome is why we find :

1. People losing hair 10 years before their previous generations.

2. Hairfall is preceded by an adverse event like an illness or change of diet, water or location.

Till recent times, doctors did not use to pay attention to these factors, taking them to be incidental in a disease largely governed by our genes.

However, correcting these epigenetic anomalies goes a long way in reducing or even reversing hairfall.

Epigenetic measures are more personalised according to patient history and involves feeding the hair follicle roots/stem cells by a microneedling based, home-use approach.

(Please note that we don't advocate medicines with questionable effects and serious side effects like finasteride.)

One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.
