Body and hair · planning guide
Grafts, donor supply and a hairline you will live with. How to prepare the consultation and plan a trip whose results arrive months later.
Hair transplantation moves follicles from a donor area, usually the back of the head, to thinning areas. Korean clinics offer follicular unit extraction and strip methods, and many patients also ask about hairline lowering and eyebrow transplants. Graft numbers, donor supply and hairline design are the substance of the consultation; results appear over months.
Hair loss pattern and likely progression, donor density and supply, scalp condition and your goals. The clinician explains how many grafts they would place, where, and how the hairline would be designed, and discusses medication and long-term planning.
Ask whether extraction or strip harvesting is recommended and why, what scarring each leaves, who performs the extraction and placement, and how graft survival is protected. Ask how the plan accounts for future hair loss.
Clinics commonly describe scabbing and redness in the first one to two weeks, careful washing instructions, avoidance of sun and sweating, and shedding of transplanted hair before regrowth over months. Ask when flying and normal activity are appropriate.
Graft count, method, whether a hairline design or repair is involved, anaesthesia and follow-up. Ask whether pricing is per graft or per session and what the graft count guarantee, if any, means.
How many grafts, and why that number? Who does each step? What density and hairline are realistic for my donor supply? What happens if grafts fail? How is follow-up handled from abroad while results develop?
Remote pre-assessment with photos of the scalp, hairline and donor area as instructed.
Consultations with a shared question list on grafts, method and hairline.
Written estimates and aftercare plans collected and compared.
Procedure, early check-up and departure clearance scheduled, with remote follow-up planned.
Patient questions
These answers are coordination guidance, not medical advice. Final treatment decisions should be confirmed directly with the treating provider.
Each has trade-offs in scarring, graft yield and donor use. The clinician recommends based on your donor area and goals. Ask for the reasoning.
Transplanted hair usually sheds before regrowing over months; clinicians describe results maturing over a year. Plan follow-up remotely.
Clinics commonly plan an early check-up and washing guidance in the first days, then advise on travel. Your clinician confirms the days.
Graft count, method, hairline design and follow-up. Request a written itemized estimate after the consultation.
