Partial Shaved Hair Transplantation

Service Description

What is Partial Hair Transplantation? Partial Hair Transplantation is a discreet FUE technique where only the donor area is shaved or trimmed, while the recipient area keeps its natural hair length. This allows the procedure to be camouflaged immediately, as existing hair in the recipient site covers the newly transplanted grafts. Advantages Immediate camouflage: Recipient area hair covers the grafts the day after surgery. Rapid donor healing: The donor site usually heals within one week with minimal visible signs. Discreet procedure: Only a small portion of hair is shaved, keeping most hair intact. Who is suitable? Partial Hair Transplantation is ideal for patients seeking minimal visible signs of surgery, maintaining hair length, and restoring smaller or moderate areas of thinning. Your surgeon will assess donor hair availability, scalp health, and suitability during a face-to-face consultation. Preparation The donor area will be trimmed or shaved prior to surgery. The recipient area should have enough hair length to camouflage the transplanted follicles. Wear a button-up shirt on the day of surgery to avoid disturbing grafts. Follow any additional pre-operative instructions from your surgeon. Cost Partial Hair Transplantation costs approximately 20% more than fully shaved FUE, reflecting the additional time and technical skill required. A tailored quote is provided during consultation and is valid for six months. After Surgery The donor area heals quickly, usually within a week. The recipient area is largely camouflaged immediately if hair is long enough. Hair growth and density improve gradually over several months. Your surgeon will provide post-operative care instructions and guidance on hair preservation. Who performs the surgery?
