Steps of the SURGERY

Step 1

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used to block the pain sensation over the scalp or any other body site that is operated during hair transplantation.

Step 2

Extraction

New grafts are extracted strategically from the donor area according to the indication.

Step 3

Slit Making

Slit making is the process where a surgeon makes spaces in the site where grafts need to be implanted. Existing scars may be revised or camouflaged and slits are made in between existing hair for better refinement.

Step 4

Implantation

Implantation is the process of placing the grafts in the pre-formed pockets as planned by the surgeon. This step is passive as compared to other steps and can be done by trained staff.

The process typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts required.

What to Expect

Before

You might be dealing with visible scarring, botched hairline, and poorly angled grafts.
The result can look unnatural or harsh, drawing unnecessary attention.
Emotionally, it’s common to feel frustrated, self-conscious, or even regretful.

After

Expect a softer, more natural-looking hairline or crown zone.
Scar concealment and improved density give you even coverage.
Your facial proportions and hair aesthetics are brought back into harmony, helping you feel like yourself again.

Possible Complications (Rare)

In some cases, graft survival can be lower in areas with existing scarring or damaged skin.
Using beard or body hair as donor site may result in slight textural mismatch (though this is managed artistically).
Temporary numbness or a feeling of tightness in the corrected zones is possible, but usually fades.

How Much Does Corrective Hair Transplant Cost?

Corrective hair transplant is far more nuanced than standard procedure. Every case is different, and so is the effort involved. That’s why pricing depends on: The number of grafts that need to be removed, added, or redistributed, the extent of damage caused by the previous transplant, whether beard or body donor hair needs to be used, or any additional scar revision techniques and ongoing recovery support.

At Kibo, we maintain complete transparency in pricing. No hidden costs, no surprise bills. After a thorough consultation, you will get a clear, personalised estimate as per your requirement.
