What should you know about trivellini hair transplant?

During planning, the clinician examines hair calibre, scalp health, the shape of the hairline, and the donor zone at the back or sides of the scalp. Follicular units are removed and placed in small openings designed around existing hairs. The result depends on graft survival, the design, the available donor supply, and whether native hair continues to thin.

Common reasons for thinning include male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, and traction alopecia. A scalp diagnosis matters because active inflammation or an unstable bald patch may need treatment first. Explore [Female Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/female-pattern-hair-loss/) and [Traction Alopecia](/conditions/traction-alopecia/).

Bring a complete medical and hair-loss history, including family pattern, previous treatments, scalp symptoms, and medicines. Confirm who designs the hairline, harvests grafts, and places them, and ask how the clinic limits overharvesting. Afterward, protect grafts from rubbing, follow washing instructions, avoid strenuous activity until cleared, and attend review visits. Early crusting, tightness, altered sensation, and shedding can be part of healing, while visible growth takes time.

A specialist may discuss stabilising hair loss medically before surgery. [PRP For Hair Loss](/treatments/hair-restoration/prp-hair-treatment/) and [Scalp Micropigmentation](/treatments/hair-restoration/scalp-micropigmentation/) are different approaches, not substitutes for diagnosing the cause.

Report increasing tenderness, spreading warmth or redness, discharge, fever, persistent bleeding, or a wound that opens. Get urgent help if swelling affects breathing or vision, or if you develop faintness or severe facial swelling. New rapid loss elsewhere on the scalp should also be reviewed rather than assumed to be a surgical result.

Ask what diagnosis has been made, whether surgery should wait, how the hairline will age, what donor area can be used safely, and how scars may look with your hairstyle. Discuss infection, numbness, unnatural direction, patchy density, further loss, and the follow-up plan.
