A hair transplant is performed by either a plastic surgeon or a dermatological surgeon. They will remove hair from one area of your head and transplant hair to where it is needed.
Typically they will get the hair that is the strongest which is usually in the back of the head and relocate the hair to transplant to the front of the hair line.

Within 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery the transplanted hair will fall out but don't worry this is normal. You will see permanent hair growth start to sprout after about 3 to 6 months time.
The success rate is extremely high at 98%, if done properly by the right doctor.
It's extremely important to find a highly qualified, skilled physician to transplant your hair so that you can be in that 98% success rate statistic and that will also ensure your hair will look as natural as possible.
