The Recipient Area is the part of the scalp where hair follicles are implanted during hair restoration procedures. This area is typically chosen based on the pattern and severity of hair loss, focusing on creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Before implantation, the recipient area is carefully prepared by creating tiny incisions or channels that align with the natural growth direction of the hair. This meticulous process ensures that the transplanted follicles integrate seamlessly with the surrounding hair.
The number of grafts required for the recipient area depends on the size of the balding or thinning region and the desired density. Skilled surgeons prioritize even distribution and symmetry to achieve realistic outcomes.
Recovery in the recipient area typically involves minimal discomfort and swelling. Patients can expect new hair growth to begin within a few months, gradually improving density and fullness over time, with results that blend naturally into existing hair.
