Hi, I have lost most of my hair on the crown of my head, and would like to get a permanent solution like a Hair Transplant using FUE. My donot area is still quite dense and healthy. I do not want to shave my head for the transplant. How effective is the transplant if done without shaving the head or trimming it to a stubble?
Answer: Is a "non-shaven" follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant effective? Dear aroravineet,

Answer: FUE without shaving the head FUE can be performed without shaving the head, but in some patients, this will limit the number of grafts that can be taken. I generally tell patients that they will get the best results if they can at least cut their hair fairly short around the time of the transplant. This makes the transplant technically easier for both the donor and recipient areas, resulting in a faster transplant session (which is easier on the patient). There are ways to disguise the donor areas with surrounding hair that is left long, but sometimes this is difficult to make natural in appearance, and again, will often limit the overall number of hairs that can be harvested.Best,

Answer: FUE without shaving FUE can be done without shaving the back of the head.If the hair is long enough a smaller zone of harvest area can be utilized and the longer hair above will cover this until the harvest area fully grows back.Or,multiple areas throughout the donor can be harvested by just trimming some of the hairs in that area.However this does limit the number of grafts that can be obtained to about 1200 or less.

Answer: Surgery without shaving Thanks to some recently developed techniques, and depending on the patient’s condition and suitability for certain techniques, the FUE procedure may be performed without shaving the hair at all.
