Hair Transplant 101
Dr. Sitapara reviews his approach to hair restoration surgery including the causes of hair loss, the different techniques used in surgery, and long-term strategies to maintain your hair.
The Hair Transplantation Treatment Experience
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method is a trusted method for hair transplantation where a strip of the absolute strongest hair is harvested from the back of the scalp. As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Sitapara then meticulously closes the incision line in layers so that the hair above the incision covers the scar. The strip is then trimmed under a microscope into individual hair follicles which are then transplanted into the scalp. There is minimal social downtime because the hair does not need to be shaved for this procedure.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
This hair restoration technique is more minimally invasive than the FUT method. Follicular unit extraction involves the removal of individual hair follicles from the back of the head, where they can be placed in areas where your hair has begun to thin or fall out. There is no linear scar, so this is the ideal procedure for those that wear their hair very short (less than a three guard).

Am I Too Young for a Hair Transplant?
Chevy Chase Facial Plastic Surgery performs hair transplantation in Bethesda, Maryland on patients aged 21 to 65, and Dr. Sitapara takes a thorough hair loss history during the consultation to anticipate future hair loss and adjust the surgical plan accordingly to achieve a natural look that lasts for life, with many older patients wishing they had done it sooner.
What Does The Day of My Hair Transplant Look Like?
You will be comfortably seated in a reclined position and light sedation is given. The follicles are then harvested once the scalp is numbed. Once the follicles have been prepared and checked under a microscope, the hairs are transplanted into the thinning area. Dr. Sitapara takes pride in ensuring that every step of the process is meticulously completed to ensure that you obtain the very best result.
What Questions Should I Ask Before Choosing My Hair Surgeon?

- Do they perform both FUT and FUE?
