Frequently Asked Hair Transplant Questions

Hair Transplant FAQs

What’s the difference between FUT and FUE hair transplants?
  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant): A thin strip of hair is removed from the donor area, then transplanted. It allows for larger sessions in one procedure.

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicles are harvested one at a time, leaving tiny dot scars that are barely visible.

Both methods produce natural results, and we offer both in Indianapolis.

Are hair transplants permanent?

Yes. Transplanted hair is taken from the back of the scalp, where follicles are genetically resistant to thinning. Once moved, they continue to grow for a lifetime.

Do hair transplants hurt?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. You’ll be numbed with local anesthesia, and while you may feel some pressure, there’s typically little to no pain. Mild soreness afterward can be managed with medication.

How long is recovery?

You can usually return to work in just a few days. Scabs and redness resolve quickly, and transplanted hairs shed before new growth begins. Final results appear gradually over 9–12 months.

Will people be able to tell I had it done?

Today’s techniques create results that look completely natural. Friends and family may notice you look younger and more confident — but they won’t be able to spot the procedure.

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Most men and women with stable donor hair in the back of the scalp are candidates. The best way to know is with a free consultation and scalp analysis.

How much hair can be restored?

It depends on the density and quality of your donor area. Our surgeons carefully design your restoration plan to maximize coverage while keeping results natural.

Are there risks with hair transplants?

As with any procedure, there are minor risks such as infection, swelling, or scarring. Serious complications are extremely rare, especially with an experienced surgical team like ours.

When can I go back to work after the procedure?

We recommend that activity, in general, is restricted during the first 24 hours after the procedure, as well as limiting physically demanding activities within the first 10 days.

You can return to work within a day or two following your procedure depending on the level of strain your occupation requires, in addition to your overall comfort level following the procedure.

Will there be scarring?
  • FUT: Leaves a pencil-thin linear scar hidden beneath your hair.

  • FUE: Leaves tiny dot scars that are virtually invisible.

Both heal well and are easily concealed.

How soon will I see results?

New growth usually starts at 3–4 months, becomes noticeable at 6 months, and continues to thicken up to a year.

Will I need more than one procedure?

Most patients achieve their goals with one transplant. Others with advanced hair loss may choose a second procedure to achieve fuller coverage.

Do I need ongoing treatment after surgery?

We often recommend supporting therapies like PRP, laser therapy, or medications to protect your existing hair.

How much does a hair transplant cost?

Costs vary depending on the procedure type, coverage area, and treatment plan. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate.

How much does hair restoration cost?
