Is hair graft removal through FUE permanent or should I expect eventual regrowth?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves removing individual hair follicles from a donor area and transplanting them to another area. The extracted hair grafts are typically permanent in the recipient site and should continue to grow.

If you choose to have a few hair grafts removed from your hairline using the FUE method, the transplanted hairs should be permanent. However, it’s important to note that the success of the transplantation depends on various factors, including the quality of the donor hair and the skill of the surgeon.

A trained and experienced surgeon can differentiate between transplanted hair grafts and original hair based on their understanding of the graft’s characteristics, growth pattern, and the specific technique used during the procedure.

Best of luck !
