Hair Transplant Surgeon :
A hair transplant surgeon is a medical doctor who performs a hair transplantation procedure, which involves moving hair from one part of the head to another. To certify as a hair transplant surgeon, one has to finish MBBS and then pursue MCh/ DNB in Dermatology or Plastic Surgery, followed by doing a fellowship in Hair Transplant. Hair transplant surgeons are qualified dermatologists or plastic surgeons who specialize in performing different techniques such as scalp reduction, flap surgery, tissue expansion and grafting to treat baldness or hair loss complaints. Hair transplantation involves the collection of hair from the donor site, which is performed in two ways such as strip harvesting and follicular unit transplantation, and then transplanting them wherever needed. Strip harvesting procedure is characterized by collecting the full length of hair follicles from the scalp of donor in strip fashion, majorly from the posterior scalp region where the hair growth is good, and the follicular unit transplant procedure refers to using a single individual unit of hair strands containing 1-4 follicles.
