What to Expect on Surgery Day - Miami Hair Institute
Welcome to the Miami Hair Institute, where quality hair restoration procedures are performed by Dr. Arthur F Smith, MD. We understand the importance of providing detailed information to our patients, so they can be fully prepared for their surgery day.
Preparing for Your Hair Transplant Surgery
Prior to your surgery day, our expert medical team will guide you through the preparation process. This includes providing you with a list of instructions that you need to follow, such as avoiding certain medications and alcohol leading up to the procedure. We also recommend that you arrange for someone to drive you to and from our clinic on the day of your surgery.
Arriving at the Miami Hair Institute
On the day of your surgery, we kindly request that you arrive at our clinic on time. Our welcoming staff will be ready to greet you and make you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Arthur F Smith, MD will personally meet with you to discuss any last-minute questions or concerns you might have.
The Hair Restoration Procedure
Once you are prepared for the surgery, our highly skilled team will begin the hair restoration procedure. Each step of the procedure is meticulously carried out to ensure optimal results. Dr. Arthur F Smith, MD, along with our dedicated team, utilizes the latest techniques and technology to provide you with natural-looking and long-lasting results.
Anesthesia and Comfort
Prior to the start of the procedure, a local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort during the surgery. Our team will make sure that you are relaxed and at ease throughout the entire process. You can feel confident knowing that we prioritize your comfort at all times.
Harvesting Donor Hair
The next step involves the harvesting of donor hair, which is typically taken from the back of the scalp. This area is selected because the hair follicles in this region are genetically resistant to hair loss. Our expert team carefully extracts individual hair follicles, ensuring minimal scarring and maximum preservation of healthy grafts.
Creating Recipient Sites
After the donor hair has been harvested, our team will create recipient sites on the bald or thinning areas of your scalp. These sites are strategically placed to achieve a natural hair growth pattern and optimal density. Dr. Arthur F Smith, MD has extensive experience in hair restoration and will carefully design the placement of the recipient sites based on your desired outcome.
Transplanting Donor Hair
The harvested hair follicles are then meticulously transplanted into the recipient sites. Our team pays meticulous attention to detail to ensure proper angulation, direction, and density of the transplanted hair. This precision results in a natural-looking hairline and overall aesthetic appearance.
Post-Surgery Instructions
After the hair restoration procedure, our team will provide you with detailed post-surgery instructions to facilitate the healing process and promote optimal results. These instructions may include information about proper care, medication usage, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
Recovery and Long-Term Results
It is important to understand that the recovery process can vary for each individual. Some patients may experience minor swelling or discomfort, but this typically subsides within a few days. The newly transplanted hair will initially shed within the first few weeks, but this is a normal part of the process. Over time, the transplanted hair follicles will gradually begin to grow new, permanent hair.
