What to Expect During a FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
FUE is a state-of-the-art technique in which individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanted into areas experiencing hair loss.
Steps of FUE:
- Donor Area Preparation: Hair is trimmed to facilitate follicle extraction.
- Local Anesthesia: Applied to both the donor and recipient areas to ensure a pain-free procedure.
- Follicle Extraction: Using a specialized micro-punch tool, follicles are carefully harvested one by one.
- Recipient Site Creation: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area to accommodate the grafts.
- Graft Placement: Extracted follicles are meticulously implanted in a way that mimics natural hair growth patterns.
What to Expect During a DHI Hair Transplant Procedure
DHI is an advanced variation of FUE that eliminates the need for pre-made incisions in the recipient area. Instead,
follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a specialized DHI implanter pen, improving precision, density and healing times.
Steps of DHI:
- Donor Area Preparation & Anaesthesia: Same as FUE.
- Follicle Extraction: Individual follicles are harvested using a micro-punch tool.
- Implantation: Using the DHI implanter pen, follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area without needing pre-made incisions.
Hair Transplant via Local Anaesthetic
The surgeon begins by carefully extracting hair follicles from the donor site, ensuring each one is handled with precision. These follicles are then implanted into the targeted areas, such as the crown, mid-parting, or hairline, depending on the patient’s needs. If hairline reshaping is required, the surgeon first marks the desired area with a marker pen to make sure the results align perfectly with the patient’s preferences.
Preparing the Donor Area and Performing the Transplant
Before the procedure starts, the clinic’s nurses or technicians will shave the donor area to prepare it for extraction. Once this is done, the surgeon administers a local anaesthetic, ensuring the patient remains comfortable and pain-free throughout the process. Finally, using the specialised Choi implanter pen, the surgeon skillfully performs the hair transplant, delivering precise and natural-looking results.

PRE-OPERATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Before undergoing FUE or DHI, patients should:
- Undergo a medical consultation with Dr. Waqas Nazir to determine candidacy for surgery.
- Stop blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) and certain supplements at least 1-2 weeks before surgery (only if approved by your GP).
- Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 2 weeks pre- and post-surgery, as they can slow healing.
- Wash your hair with a mild shampoo the night before surgery, avoiding any styling products.
- Eat a light meal before the procedure, as you will be in a seated or lying position for an extended period.

FAQS
How effective is a FUE & DHI Hair transplant?
Patients will experience the full results of a hair transplant between 10 and 14 months after the hair transplant completes. However, after six months, many clients are satisfied with their hair transplant results, unaware that significant hair growth still appears. Clients will sometimes only require one hair transplant in a lifetime. Especially if they strictly follow the medical hair restoration program established around their hair transplant.
How long does FUE & DHI hair transplant surgery take?
At Hair Transplants of the Royal Liver Building, our Surgeons may complete minor hair procedures within three to four hours. More extensive procedures may take six to seven hours. The duration of your hair restoration procedure will depend on the number of grafts required for your desired outcome. The Surgeon will discuss this during your consultation. During a procedure at our clinic, clients will have opportunities to have a break during the course to watch television, read a magazine or listen to music.
Do you perform FUE & DHI Hair Transplants via local anaesthetic?
Most patients are comfortable during and after hair transplant surgery by the FUE & DHI method. After administering the local anaesthetic, the patient does not feel any pain.
Is this a safe procedure?
FUE & DHI are considered two of the safest procedures. In extremely rare cases, the transplant area can become infected, and tissue death can occur. You can encounter little to no side
effects that go away a few days after surgery. Side effects may include sensitivity, swelling and bruising.
If I choose a non-surgical procedure, is it permanent?
Non-surgical hair transplants are not permanent. They offer a temporary solution to hair replacement. This non-surgical hair restoration system will need replacing and is very high maintenance.
Will there be any scarring?
FUE & DHI hair restoration procedures carried out at Hair Transplants of The Royal Liver Building result in minimal scarring and on close inspection can appear like tiny dots.
Because of minimal scarring this method is preferred by vast majority of people.
Is FUE & DHI Hair Transplant Permanent?
Hair Transplants of the Royal Liver building's experienced surgical team will meticulously redistribute existing permanent hair to areas with hair thinning. The hair appropriated
from the donor site will behave similarly to where it is transplanted.
If FUE & DHI surgery are done correctly, it will last a lifetime for most people or at least into old age.
Will I need time off to recuperate after my surgery?
Working after surgery depends on your job and the activity, you will be carrying out. If your job is not physical or too strenuous, we advise you to return to work after a couple of days generally. If your job is particularly physical, the advisory return to work is 14 days. Avoid tight hats or helmets for at least one month.
When will I notice any improvement from my hair transplant?
Hair growth can differ from patient to patient. It is typical for each transplanted follicle to enter a dormant phase of 12 weeks before growing. Within six months, you will see around an inch of new healthy growth around the newly transplanted hair.
Will I achieve a full head of hair?
The surgeons only redistribute your permanent hair to your thin or bald areas. This process does not create new hair growth in other areas. With our team's expert hands, The The Surgeon can use the limited donor hair available to create an illusion of more hair in people with significant hair loss. The most important achievement for patients with extensive baldness will be restoring scalp hair located at the front of the head and the hairline to create a frame around the face. This will improve how you appear to yourself and others.
Is age essential, and what is the perfect age for hair transplantation?
Hair restoration surgery can be performed at any age. However, the patient's age is a vital factor to be considered. Ideally, the patient should be at least 30 years of age. Although, under certain circumstances, younger patients may be considered. Our expert team of surgeons will be able to discuss any concerns or questions you may have.
Can the procedure be repeated?
Yes, hair transplant surgery can be repeated but it needs to be decided on assessment by the surgeon. It depends upon quality of donor hair and demand. In many cases 2-3 hair transplant surgeries can be performed for a person but each case needs to assessed individually.
What are the side effects of FUE or DHI Hair Transplants?
POTENTIAL RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
While both FUE and DHI are considered safe and minimally invasive, all surgical procedures carry some risks. According to BAHRS guidelines, potential complications include:
While both FUE and DHI are considered safe and minimally invasive, all surgical procedures carry some risks. According to BAHRS guidelines, potential complications include:
- Swelling – Mild swelling around the forehead and eyes may occur but usually resolves within 3-7 days. Bleeding & Bruising – Some minor bleeding at the donor or recipient sites is normal but should stop within 24 hours.
- Folliculitis (Pimple-like Bumps) – Temporary inflammation of hair follicles may occur in the weeks following surgery but usually resolves on its own. Temporary Numbness – Some numbness or tingling in the donor or recipient areas may persist for a few weeks.
- Unnatural Hair Growth Direction – If follicles are not implanted correctly, hair may grow at an unnatural angle, though this is rare with experienced surgeons.
- Shock Loss – Some surrounding hairs may temporarily fall out post-surgery, but they will regrow within 3-6 months.
- Persistent redness, swelling, or pus discharge (signs of infection).
- Excessive pain that does not improve with painkillers.
- Prolonged bleeding beyond the first 24 hours.
