NeoGraft Hair Transplantation

Our New Growth Hair Institute uses innovative NeoGraft hair transplant technology. The FUE method of hair transplantation removes individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1-4 hairs and then place them in the areas of the scalp where balding has occured

Hair Transplant Sydney

The decision to address hair loss is personal and can have various effects on daily interactions and aspects of life. We understand the importance of a treatment that aligns with each patient’s unique needs and expectations. At our clinic, we’ve chosen to offer the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method utilising the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system. This method involves removing individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings and placing them in the areas where hair loss has occurred.

What potential benefits does the NeoGraft hair transplantation procedure offer?

  • Minimally Invasive: NeoGraft is considered one of the least invasive procedures for hair transplantation, but like any procedure, it still carries potential risks and complications which should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
  • Hair Styling Flexibility: Following recovery, patients may have the flexibility to choose any hair style they prefer, short or long, but the full effects of the procedure may take some time to become apparent.
  • Natural Looking Results: The goal of the NeoGraft procedure is to restore the hairline with natural looking results. However, outcomes can vary depending on individual circumstances such as the extent of hair loss and the individual's hair growth pattern.
  • Discomfort: Many patients report feeling little to no discomfort during the NeoGraft procedure, although experiences may vary and some discomfort or sensitivity may be expected post-procedure.
  • No Stitches or Staples: The procedure does not typically involve the use of stitches or staples, potentially reducing associated recovery complications.
  • Minimal Scarring: The NeoGraft procedure aims to leave no unsightly or obvious scarring, although the extent of scarring can depend on individual healing responses.
  • Recovery Time: Recovery time is typically shorter with the NeoGraft procedure compared to some other hair transplantation methods. It is commonly expected to be about 72 hours, although individual recovery times may vary.

It’s important to remember that every individual is unique and so too are their needs and desired outcomes for cosmetic surgery. If you’re considering a procedure, it’s essential to have a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced surgeons. They can help you understand whether you’re a suitable candidate and what you can realistically expect from the surgery. The information provided here is meant to help guide you, but it’s not a replacement for professional medical advice. Always organise a consultation for personalised advice.

If you are concerned about the way you look or are thinking about cosmetic surgery for confidence reasons, there are alternatives. Talking to a counsellor or psychologist may help you overcome your concerns about your appearance.

What to Expect

Consultation

The initial step in the NeoGraft hair transplant process is a comprehensive consultation with our experienced surgeon. During this meeting, your aesthetic goals, medical history, and current hair condition will be assessed. The surgeon will evaluate your hair density, scalp health, and the areas where hair transplantation is needed. This consultation is an ideal opportunity for you to voice any concerns or ask any questions you may have about the procedure.

Number and type of consultation
It is a requirement under the law, that a patient seeking cosmetic surgery must have at least two pre-operative consultations. The patient’s first consultation must be with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery or another registered health practitioner who works with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery (not a patient advisor or an agent). At least one of the two consultations must be in person with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery. Other consultations can be in person or by video.

When consent can be given
A patient must not be requested to sign consent forms at their first consultation and cannot consent to cosmetic surgery until they have had an in-person consultation with the medical practitioner who will perform the surgery. The decision to have the surgery (provision of informed consent) must be made at a consultation with the medical practitioner who will perform the procedure (in person or by video).

Cooling-off Period
There must be a cooling-off period of at least seven days after the patient has had two consultations and given informed consent (signed consent forms), before the surgery can be booked or a deposit paid.

Preparation

Once the surgical plan has been mutually agreed upon, you will receive specific instructions on how to prepare for your NeoGraft hair transplant. These may include dietary guidelines, advice on smoking and alcohol consumption, specific instructions about medications or supplements, and hair care recommendations.

Surgery

A NeoGraft hair transplant typically takes four to eight hours and is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure involves two main stages: extraction and implantation. During extraction, individual hair follicles are harvested from the back of the scalp, a region resistant to hair loss. These harvested follicles are then prepared for transplantation. In the implantation stage, the hair follicles are meticulously inserted into the designated areas, following the natural direction of hair growth to achieve a natural-looking result.

Recovery

After the surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery room for a short period. Most patients can go home the same day. Mild discomfort, swelling, and redness in the treated areas are normal but will begin to subside after a few days.

Most patients feel ready to return to non-strenuous daily activities within a day or two, while more vigorous activities should be avoided for about a week. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure a smooth recovery.

The final results of your NeoGraft hair transplant will become noticeable within a few months once the transplanted hair follicles start to grow, but the full effect may not be apparent for up to a year.

Considerations Before Cosmetic Surgery

While we aim to provide accurate information about the different surgical procedures available, it’s important to understand that the content provided here serves as a general guide only. The specifics of each surgery, including the procedure detailed above, can and will vary significantly from person to person, depending on their unique circumstances and physical characteristics.

Undergoing cosmetic surgery is a serious decision that requires ample thought, careful consideration, and meticulous planning. It should never be taken lightly or treated trivially, as it can have profound impacts on one’s lifestyle and wellbeing.

Recovery from cosmetic surgery, too, requires time, support, and proper aftercare. We strive to present realistic and transparent information about the recovery process, but individual experiences may vary. It is typical for recovery to involve certain services or requirements, such as the use of compression garments or receiving therapeutic massages. It also often necessitates significant lifestyle changes, which may include a period of absence from employment and temporary restrictions on certain activities.

In light of these considerations, we strongly encourage potential patients to engage in comprehensive discussions with their GP and our surgeons. The goal is to fully understand the implications, requirements, and likely outcomes of any chosen procedure, and to make informed decisions about their health and aesthetics.

General risks and complications

  • Substantial Hemorrhage: This involves severe blood loss from the area that underwent surgery, which may necessitate additional medical interventions.
  • Susceptibility to Infection: Post-surgery, the risk of infection can rise, potentially requiring either antibiotic treatment or subsequent surgical interventions.
  • Allergic Responses: Patients may exhibit allergic reactions to medical materials such as sutures, dressings, or antiseptic solutions used during and after the procedure.
  • Hematoma Formation: This involves the development of a sizable clot of blood beneath the incision site, which may necessitate medical drainage.
  • Post-Surgical Discomfort: Patients may experience pain, bruising, and swelling in the area surrounding the surgical site.
  • Scar Development: There's a risk of developing keloids or hypertrophic scars, which are elevated, red, and thickened scars over the healed incisions. Though they can be bothersome and aesthetically displeasing, they don't pose a direct health threat.
  • Delayed Healing Process: Healing can be sluggish, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions like diabetes or those who smoke.
  • Anaesthesia Risks: Patients may experience short-term nausea following general anaesthesia, along with other potential risks associated with anaesthesia.

Hair Transplant risks and complications

  • Follicle Survival Uncertainty: Not all transplanted follicles may survive the transfer process, which can affect the overall outcome and potentially require additional treatments.
  • Infection at Donor or Transplant Site: While this risk is generally low, it's possible for the donor site or the transplant site to develop an infection which would require treatment.
  • Scarring: Although Neograft aims to minimize scarring, some patients may still develop small scars in the donor area or the transplant site.
  • Hair Shading Variance: There may be slight differences in shading or texture between your original hair and the newly transplanted hair.
  • Unnatural Appearance: The transplanted hair may not look as natural as expected, especially if the transplant site is not prepared properly or the procedure is not conducted appropriately.
  • Folliculitis: This refers to the inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, which can cause discomfort and may require treatment.
  • Shock Loss: This is a temporary loss of transplanted as well as some of the healthy hair around the transplant area, caused by trauma from the surgical procedure. It's usually temporary, with hair growth resuming in a few weeks or months.
  • Structural Instability: The support structure of the nose may weaken, leading to a flattened appearance of the nose. This could also result in complications with any implanted materials, possibly causing them to protrude into the nose or through the skin, and potential narrowing of major airways that may result in difficulty breathing.
