What should you know about Zane Hijazi hair transplant?

A hair transplant moves follicles from a donor area, often the back or sides of the scalp, into thinning or bald areas. The surgeon plans the hairline, direction, density, and donor supply so the result fits the person's age and pattern. Transplanted hairs may shed temporarily before new growth develops, and the final appearance takes time to assess.

A receding hairline or bald patches can have several causes. Male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, traction alopecia, inflammation, autoimmune disease, and temporary shedding need different approaches. A transplant may not suit active scalp disease, insufficient donor hair, or loss that has not been evaluated.

A consultation should include scalp examination, a detailed shedding history, medicines, family history, prior procedures, and close photographs. Ask whether testing is needed and how ongoing hair loss will be managed. Medical treatments or PRP for hair loss may be discussed before or alongside surgery; scalp micropigmentation creates the appearance of density without moving follicles.

After surgery, follow instructions for washing, sleeping, activity, and protecting grafts. Scalp tightness, crusting, swelling, and temporary shedding can occur. Do not pick at crusts or restart products without advice. Attend planned reviews so healing and growth can be checked.

Contact the surgical team for increasing pain, bleeding that does not settle with their instructions, spreading redness, pus, fever, or worsening swelling. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty or rapidly worsening facial swelling. Sudden patchy loss, painful scalp, or scaling should be assessed rather than assumed to be ordinary pattern hair loss.

Ask what diagnosis explains your loss, whether the donor area can support the plan, how the hairline will age, which technique is proposed, and what happens if loss continues. Ask about recovery, scarring, graft protection, and alternatives before booking.
