Specialized Hair Transplants for Scars, Women, and Seniors
We handle hair restoration beyond the scalp. From scar tissue repair to addressing thinning in women and senior patients, we prioritize medical safety and realistic outcomes over quick fixes.
(Kannada) Can women get a hair transplant? Yes, but it is not the first step. For women, we must first find the cause of hair loss, such as anemia or thyroid issues. Only if medical treatment doesn't work do we consider a transplant.
We can safely and effectively perform hair transplants into scar tissue from burns, injuries, or surgery. This is typically done in two sessions to ensure the skin can support the new hair, and it works for the scalp, eyebrows, or beard.
(Kannada) Is there an age limit for hair transplants? No, there is no strict cutoff. We have performed transplants on patients up to 76 years old. As long as the patient is medically fit and has the desire for it, the operation can be done safely.
Yes, we can perform a hair transplant on a senior citizen. We assess three factors: their overall health, the condition of their donor area, and their expectations. Our oldest transplant patient was 73 years old.
About this collection
These cases require more than just standard FUE techniques. Whether it is transplanting into scar tissue, addressing hormonal hair loss in women, or treating patients in their 70s, our first step is always a rigorous medical assessment. We do not operate until we understand the underlying cause or physiological constraints of your specific situation.
Scar Tissue Revision
Transplanting hair into scar tissue from burns, injuries, or previous surgeries is possible, but it differs from a standard transplant. Scalp skin with scars has a different blood supply and cannot always support full density immediately. We typically perform this in two sessions. The first session establishes the foundation and blood supply, while the second adds the density required for a natural look. This process works for the scalp, eyebrows, mustache, or beard.
Female Hair Loss
For women, a hair transplant is rarely the first step. Female hair loss is often caused by internal factors like anemia, thyroid issues, or PCOD. We mandate a thorough investigation into the root cause first. If medical management fixes the hair fall, surgery becomes unnecessary. We only recommend a transplant if medical treatments have been exhausted and the condition persists.
Senior Patients
Age is not a barrier to hair restoration. We have performed successful transplants on patients up to 76 years old. The primary concern is not the age itself but the patient's overall fitness. We assess heart health, blood pressure, and metabolic stability. As long as you are medically fit, we can safely proceed with a customized plan that meets your expectations.
