Hair transplant surgery or hair transplant is a popular and effective method of hair restoration for men and women. It involves extracting health grafts from a donor scalp area and implanting the grafts or follicles in the balding area. The procedure is similar for men and women. However, the hair-thinning pattern is very different between men and women. Thus, the hair specialist needs to take a slightly different approach to address hair loss in women.
Unlike men who lose hair in patches, women experience subtle thinning all over the scalp. In men, usually, the hairs at the back side of the scalp, called stable sites, are used as a donor. In contrast with men, women have diffuse hair loss, which causes hair thinning all across the scalp. Thus, the scalp areas that usually serve as donor sites can’t be used in women.

Only a small percentage of women are considered good candidates for hair transplant surgery. The eligible candidates should meet the following criteria-
Women need to understand that all hair restoration techniques involve using the existing hair. So, if the woman doesn’t have enough healthy donor hair, they might not be able to undergo hair transplant surgery.
The preparation for hair restoration surgery in women starts with consulting a hair specialist. The specialist evaluates the hair growth and loss, reviews the patient’s family history, and asks if you’ve had any previous hair treatment (medical or surgical). The doctor will discuss the expectations and set a realistic goal for the treatment.
Once it’s confirmed that the patient is a good candidate for hair transplant surgery, he/she will provide you with detailed instructions on the things that you should and shouldn’t do. The common instructions will include the following-
It is imperative for the patient to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully before, during, and after the treatment for the best results.

For most women, using mini-grafts is the most suitable choice to fill in the thinning areas. Other than this technique, flap and tissue expansion techniques may also be used or combined with mini-grafts to provide desired results to the patients.
Depending on the technique chosen for hair restoration, the procedure steps may vary slightly for each patient. In general, female hair transplant surgery is carried out in the following steps-

Depending on the technique chosen for hair restoration, the procedure steps may vary slightly for each patient. In general, female hair transplant surgery is carried out in the following steps-
After the extraction, the grafts are placed separately at 4 degree Celsius to maintain healthy circulation. Usually, grafts are very resilient and don’t die immediately when the fresh blood supply is halted. They can survive for almost 6 hours outside the scalp. If kept further, their ability to grow hair is affected considerably.
In most cases, the grafts are implanted shortly after extraction to ensure they remain healthy.
The entire procedure is likely to take around 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts being used. In women, the procedure is slightly complex. Hence, most women require multiple sessions to complete the treatment.

Besides using the standard FUT (follicular unit transplant), FUE (follicular unit extraction), several other techniques can also be used to address hair loss in women. These techniques include-
This technique is mostly performed as a reconstructive surgery to repair burn wounds or injuries in the scalp. In this technique, a balloon-like device called a tissue expander is inserted beneath the hair-bearing scalp, right next to the balding area. The device is then inflated using salt water over the next weeks. This causes the skin to expand and grow new cells.
When the skin has stretched enough (2 months on average), surgery is performed to bring the expanded skin over the adjacent bald area.
This technique has been used successfully for hair restoration in women for more than two decades. It allows the surgeon to cover large areas of baldness according to the patient’s needs. Furthermore, the size of the flap can be customized further, and one flap can do the work of 350+ grafts.
It involves cutting a section of the bald scalp and lifting a flap of the hair-bearing skin off the surface. The flap is stretched to its new position and sewn into place. As the incision heals and new hairs grow from the scalp, the scar will be hidden.
Immediately after the surgery, the patient can expect to feel slightly disoriented and have tenderness in the scalp. To help the patient manage the pain and discomfort, pain medications are prescribed. Other medicines, including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medicines, etc., are also prescribed for the recovery period.
The patient is kept under observation for an hour or so and then discharged. Before discharge, the patient is given detailed post-op care instructions and a follow-up schedule.
For 2-3 days, the scalp will be covered with bandages. After the surgery, the treated area will be inflamed. The scalp will also start to swell in the next few days. Redness, swelling, bruising, etc., are common side effects of hair transplant surgery and are temporary. These effects take around 10 to 15 days to resolve.
The potential risks of a Hair Transplant for Women are similar to a male hair transplant. The common side effects and risks include-
Other than these risks, the patient may not feel satisfied with the results of the treatment.
Hair loss in women is often a matter of emotional distress. And when no other remedy works, hair transplant surgery can do wonders. Here are some key benefits of hair transplants for women-
The recovery period after a hair transplant in women is usually between 10 to 20 days. Firstly, the newly implanted follicles will become stable, and scabs will start to form in the treated area. The scabs will start to fall off after 4-7 days.
Later on, the patient may also experience shock loss, due to which the implanted hair will fall off. But there is no need to worry as this is perfectly natural. Throughout the recovery period, the patients have to follow very extensive instructions to prevent post-surgery complications and get the best possible outcome.
The common instructions that are usually given to the patients include the following points-
It will take around 6 to 12 months for the patients to notice considerable hair growth after the treatment. Thus, the patient needs to follow the doctor’s advice further to get the best results.
As mentioned above, the results after a hair transplant for women will take around 6 to 12 months. The patient can expect the following-
The doctor will also advise to eat a healthy and balanced diet and engage in physical activities throughout the recovery period. This will ensure that the hair follicles get enough nourishment and blood supply to grow new hairs.
The Women’s Hair Transplant Cost in India ranges from Rs. 60000 to Rs. 120000. The actual cost of the treatment varies for each patient depending on the following factors-
Yes, though only 2-5% of women are eligible for surgical hair transplants, the success rate in women is above 95%. This is usually due to the fact that women have more stable donor areas throughout the scalp, which are healthy enough to grow new hairs.
Yes, to provide the best results, hair transplant surgery is often combined with a special diet, medications, and non-surgical therapies like PRP(platelet-rich plasma) or GFC(growth factor concentrate).
Generally, women experience hair fall problems around their 40s and 50s. And almost all women experience serious hair loss by the time they reach the age of 70 years.
The results of hair transplants in women last for a lifetime. This is mainly due to the stability of the donor hairs. They retain the ability to grow new hair for as long as the rest of the scalp remains healthy.
No, hair loss is a cosmetic concern for both men and women. Thus, whatever treatment they choose get doesn’t get covered by health insurance under any circumstance.
