Thanks for the question. The first stage consists of the extraction of hair follicles by a plastic surgeon. This stage takes an average of 1-2 hours.
The second stage consists of planning and incising the hair canals. This procedure -also performed by a plastic surgeon- takes 30-45 minutes...
The sideburn can definitely be restored by a hair transplant using your scalp hair as the donor. I agree that it is better to get the laser to remove the spider vein first before getting a hair transplant.
Hello and thank you for your question. The short answer is no those hairs will not be prone to male pattern baldness. I hope this help ease your question.
