A hair transplant will take between 3-7 hours depending on how large the area needs to be covered. We offer breaks throughout surgery and will provide lunch on the day of your operation. Patients will find it a very pleasant experience, as they can relax and watch a movie. There is never any urgency at Westminster Medical Group.

Comfortable clothes are recommended, with a button-up or wide neck shirt preferred. This will prevent your new hair grafts from getting irritated. If your surgeon recommends, we may provide you with a baseball hat. This can be useful if you plan to go out in direct sunlight for the next 14 days after your procedure.

Hair transplant is painless. There is some discomfort, but nothing more than that. Our experienced doctors administer local anaesthesia to minimize pain. Patients are often pleasantly surprised that they feel no discomfort and can relax during the procedure. You can talk to our medical team or take a break!

Some patients may experience some mild swelling after surgery, but this usually disappears within 2-5 days. Any swelling can be reduced by applying an ice pack or cold compress to the forehead. You can take painkillers for tenderness and discomfort, although it is uncommon.

Aftercare for a hair-transplant is easy and painless. The medical team will recommend a personalized hair care regimen for the first few days. WMG will send you a WMG after-care kit, which includes a special shampoo, oil, and written instructions for the next few weeks.

The hair bulb will go into a temporary dormant state after the grafts have been planted. It will then start growing again in 6 to 12 weeks. Some hairs will grow immediately while others may take longer. You can expect to see 60% of your final growth at 6 months. The full results will be visible 12 months later.
