What is Hair Restoration?

Hair restoration is all about restoring fuller, natural-looking hair using advanced techniques tailored to each individual. Two of the most effective methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), both of which are designed to restore hair density with seamless, lasting results.

FUE hair transplants are now at a similar cost to FUT due to advances in robotic techniques. Kassir Plastic Surgery offers the newest robotic procedure for FUE hair transplant, making it a quicker and more precise procedure than it was in the past. For FUT hair transplant, a 1mm scar or less remains in the back of the head for a few months if cared for with scar cream. Typically, this is not seen as hair grows over the area. Scabbing can occur in an FUE hair transplant because the follicles are inserted.

Patients suffering from hair loss seek Dr. Kassir’s Hair Transplantation procedure as an ultimate decision to restore their natural hair. Hair transplants have become tremendously common, and all the information out there can definitely be overwhelming. Let’s establish some of the key points:

  • It’s crucial to understand what makes you the right candidate: The person’s hair loss should be stabilized to ensure that the patient will receive optimal results. Hair transplant surgery does not stop hair loss progression. Dr. Kassir will help you assess if you will achieve the results you are looking for after surgery. Generally, it is better to avoid hair transplant surgery at a young age or during the beginning stages of hair loss.
  • Hair transplants are not the same for everyone. Before hair transplant surgery, it is important to remember that hair regrowth differs for every person. Given your physiological limitations, Dr. Kassir’s technique and equipment allow him to maximize hair growth. The final outcome of the surgery really depends on how much hair you have in your donor area.
  • Transplanted hair can be treated like normal hair: Once it starts growing, you can treat your transplanted hair just like normal hair. It is no different from natural hair; it can be washed and treated as you like. With hair transplantation, the patient regains tons of confidence, not to mention a fresh, new look.
  • Hair transplants are permanent. During surgery, hair is taken and transferred to any bald spots.
  • About the transplanted Hair: The transplanted hair does not fall out. Once the hair has begun regrowing, it becomes a permanent part of your scalp. New hair continues to grow for about four months from the date of surgery. In about an eight-month period, you can expect about 80% of total growth to be complete. Growth at the crown area usually takes the most time.
  • Post-surgery precautions are very important: When planning your surgery, remember that it will take time for you to return to your normal routine. You should be prepared to dedicate at least the first several days to rest and take as much care of your transplanted area as possible.
  • Sleeping precautions: You cannot touch your head anywhere, especially on your back, except where the implant was made. Hair follicles are extremely fragile during this time period.

What are the
benefits of
hair restoration?

Hair restoration does more than just bring back lost hair—it restores confidence, enhances facial harmony, and provides long-lasting, natural results. With FUT and FUE techniques, patients experience a fuller, thicker head of hair without the unnatural look of older methods. One of the biggest advantages is that the transplanted hair is your own, meaning it grows, looks, and feels completely natural.

Beyond aesthetics, hair restoration offers permanent results, unlike temporary solutions such as topical treatments or hairpieces. The procedure is also minimally invasive, especially with FUE, allowing for a faster recovery and no visible scarring. Many patients find that restored hairlines and improved density create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Who are the
best candidates
for hair restoration?

The best candidates for hair restoration are individuals experiencing hair thinning or baldness who still have healthy donor hair available, typically at the back or sides of the head. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, as underlying medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune disorders can affect healing and hair growth.

Those with pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia)—where hair loss follows a predictable pattern—tend to see the most successful and natural-looking results. If hair loss is due to factors like stress, medications, or temporary conditions, non-surgical treatments may be recommended instead.

Age isn’t a strict limitation, but patients in their late 20s to 50s often achieve optimal results since their hair loss patterns are more established. Individuals seeking eyebrow, beard, or scar restoration can also benefit from the procedure. A consultation with Dr. Kassir will determine the best approach based on your specific needs and goals.

What’s the
First Step?

The first step in your hair restoration journey is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Kassir. During this initial appointment, you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history. Dr. Kassir will evaluate your hair loss pattern, hair quality, and scalp health to determine your best treatment plan.

He’ll explain all the available options, whether FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), or other methods, and help you decide on the most effective approach to achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What to Bring to Your Hair Transplant Consult:

  • Your desired surgery date
  • A list of the vitamins, medications, and ointments you use
  • Any medical history, your insurance card (to check for partial coverage), and any reported breathing issues
  • Your own edited photo (any angle you want changed)
  • A portfolio of reference photos and goals that Dr. Kassir can use to craft your digitally edited image
  • Knowledge of Your Financing Options (Private, Care Credit, Alphaeon, Credit Care, or a Combination)
  • Excitement! A new head of hair can change your life. With the head of hair that was meant for you, you will be happier and more confident. We are excited about this and want you to be as excited as we are.

What to Expect on the Day of Hair Restoration Surgery

In our FUT hair transplant, Dr. Kassir surgically removes a thin strip of skin from the back of the hair and individually removes units from this strip to insert into the bald area of the head.
In our FUE hair transplant, Dr. Kassir removes single follicular units with a robot and inserts the unit back into bald patches on the head.

Hair Restoration Recovery

You might also notice some scabbing in the donor and recipient areas, but don’t worry—this is a normal part of the healing process.

You’ll be advised to avoid strenuous activities or anything that could cause excessive sweating for about a week after the procedure. Most patients are able to return to their normal routine within 3-7 days, though you may need to wear a protective cap for a little extra peace of mind.

Hair shedding is normal during the first few weeks, but don’t be discouraged—it’s part of the natural growth cycle. New hair should start growing within 3 to 6 months, and full results can take up to a year to fully show.

Pain Management

In our FUT hair transplant, Dr. Kassir may prescribe pain management medication along with our hair transplant post-op kit. While the scar heals, there may be mild discomfort until the stitches are removed.

Our FUE hair transplant does not have scarring or stitches, but the injury response to the small insertion wounds may have some scabbing that heals in 3-7 days.
