The design should be customized. While designing the front hairline, attention is paid to the patient’s hair structure, face shape, gender, age and wishes. After hair design, hair transplant operation is started.
In hair transplant surgery, grafts in the donor area are collected first. Collected hair follicles are made ready for transplantation. Small channels are opened in balding areas so that hair follicles can be transplanted. Hair follicles are transplanted into the opened micro channels.
