Hair Transplant Surgery Basics
A hair transplant is a procedure in which healthy hair is taken from the back or sides of the head (donor site), and placed in the balding area on the scalp.

The area from which the hair is taken is commonly referred to as the “horseshoe fringe”. It is the hair that extends from behind both ears to the back of the head. Usually, this area is not affected by male-pattern baldness.
Once the hair has been extracted, it is transplanted into tiny slits that the doctor has created with his or her surgical tools on the balding areas of your scalp.
These hair extractions are called grafts. Grafts refer to the donated hair, hair follicles, surrounding tissue, and skin of the extraction. Each graft contains one or more hair follicles (ideally no more than four).
