What should you know about Shift hair transplant?

A consultation reviews the pattern and cause of hair loss, scalp condition, donor density, hair texture and the hairline you want to maintain. Follicular units are collected from a donor region and placed into planned sites. New growth is gradual, and the final appearance depends on follicle quality, healing and ongoing hair loss. Hair transplantation may be considered for male or female pattern hair loss and selected traction alopecia.

Bring a list of medicines and describe previous scalp treatments. Follow the clinic’s washing, activity and medication instructions after the procedure; avoid picking crusts and protect the scalp from friction and strong sun while it heals. Ask whether stabilising existing hair loss is appropriate. Read about [Hair Transplant](/treatments/hair-restoration/hair-transplant/) and possible alternatives such as [PRP For Hair Loss](/treatments/hair-restoration/prp-hair-treatment/).

Contact the treating team promptly for worsening pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, heavy bleeding or a sudden change in scalp sensation. Arrange review if grafts or donor sites are healing poorly, or if hair loss continues in an unexpected pattern. A receding hairline or bald patches may need diagnosis before surgery.

Ask what is causing the hair loss, whether the donor area is sufficient, how the hairline will be designed, what recovery feels like, and how existing hair will be protected. Clarify follow-up, medicines, realistic density and alternative options.
