Hair Transplant Procedure: Step by Step

Dissolvable sutures can be removed, avoiding the need for a return appointment, and follow up is then usually performed at 8 to 10 months to assess regrowth at that time.

Hair transplants vs the Fleming-Mayer Flap timeline.

Hair transplants are like planting blades of grass. After each session the hair falls out and doesn't start to grow for 3-4 months and at a rate of 1/4 to1/2 inch per month. It takes 3-4 sessions done 4-6 months apart to give a look of some density. The Fleming-Mayer Flap is like transferring an entire piece of sod at one time.
