Donor Area Preservation is a critical aspect of hair restoration, focusing on maintaining the health and viability of the donor site for both current and future procedures. The donor area, typically located at the back or sides of the scalp, contains hair follicles that are genetically resistant to hair loss.

Effective preservation begins with careful harvesting techniques, such as FUE or FUT, to ensure minimal impact on the donor site. Surgeons evenly distribute the extraction to avoid visible thinning and maintain the area’s aesthetic integrity.

Postoperative care, including proper wound management and the use of prescribed medications, is essential for promoting healing and reducing scarring. Advanced therapies, such as PRP, may also be recommended to enhance scalp health and support future graft viability.

Patients benefit from donor area preservation as it ensures sustainable results and provides options for additional procedures if needed. This approach is fundamental to the long-term success of hair restoration.
