2500 GRAFTS | MALE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

This patient underwent a 2500 graft FUE hair transplant to the frontal hairline and the area behind it.

In the before image, the hairline has receded at both temples and the frontal area has lost density, with scalp visible through the hair when it is styled back.

The grafts were placed to rebuild the hairline and restore density behind it, in a position suited to the patient's age and facial proportions rather than a lower or straighter line.

The after image shows this patient's individual result at the time of photography.

Cost is usually where people start, and that is fair enough. Pricing largely comes down to the number of grafts, which is worked out from your pattern of loss and what your donor area can supply. Travelling abroad can make that number look very different.

What is harder to compare is what sits behind the price. This is a medical procedure on the scalp, and it is not one you stop seeing afterwards.

Two things are worth asking wherever you go. Who is actually performing the surgery, because in some clinics much of the work is carried out by technicians rather than the doctor, and that is not always made clear beforehand. And who is available afterwards, because growth is slow and staged, questions come up along the way, and they are easier to answer when the person who assessed you at the start is the one following you through.

Distance makes the second one harder. That is the part to weigh up alongside the price, rather than after it.

Every consultation and every procedure at Atlantis Medical is carried out by the same doctor. This is the background behind that.

Dr Vikram Jayaprakash completed his medical degree at the University of Southampton and worked in acute and critical care medicine in the United Kingdom before moving into general practice, gaining Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners in 2014.

His hair restoration training began in 2011, under the mentorship of Dr Russell Knudsen across clinics in Australia and New Zealand, over more than a decade. He became a Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in 2019 and a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery in 2023. The ABHRS is a United States certifying body and is not an AHPRA-recognised Australian specialty.

Atlantis Medical was established in 2021 as a practice working only in hair restoration and the medical management of hair loss.

The full credential list, and how to verify each item independently, is on the Credentials page of our website.

2700 GRAFTS | MALE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

This patient underwent a 2700 graft FUE hair transplant to address thinning through the frontal hairline and the area directly behind it.

In the before image, the hair is cut short and the scalp is visible through the front, with recession at both temples.

The grafts were placed to restore a frontal hairline suited to the patient's age and facial proportions, and to add density behind it so the front sits consistently with the hair that remains.

The after image shows this patient's individual result at the time of photography. The hair is worn longer and styled back in the after image, which also affects how the front appears.

Does smoking affect how a hair transplant heals?

It does, and healing is what a transplanted graft depends on.

Ni****ne narrows small blood vessels and reduces blood flow to the skin. After a transplant the grafts have been separated from their original blood supply and rely on the recipient area re-establishing that supply quickly. Reduced circulation and lower tissue oxygen can slow wound healing in both the recipient and donor areas.

This is why smoking is discussed before surgery rather than after. Where someone smokes, the usual advice is to stop or cut down for a period before and after the procedure. Some patients decide to use the surgery as the reason to stop altogether.

It is not a reason to decline surgery on its own. It is a factor in planning, and in the conversation about what to expect from healing.

Most hair loss seen in clinic is non-scarring. In pattern hair loss or telogen effluvium the follicle is still there, even when the hair is finer or has stopped growing.

Scarring alopecias work differently. In this group of conditions, inflammation damages the follicle and it is replaced by scar tissue. Once that has happened, hair does not grow back from it. Frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris are two examples.

The early signs can be subtle. A hairline that is receding while the eyebrows are also thinning, a smooth or shiny area where hair used to be, redness or scaling around individual follicles, or scalp discomfort are all reasons to have the area examined rather than assumed.

It changes surgical planning too. Transplanting into a scarring alopecia that is still active is generally not appropriate, because the same process can affect transplanted hair. Assessment comes first, then settling the condition, and in some cases surgery is not the right answer at all.

3200 GRAFTS | MALE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

This patient underwent a 3200 graft FUE hair transplant to address advanced loss across the frontal scalp.

In the before image, recession extends back from both temples and the frontal area retains only fine, sparse hair, with the remaining density sitting at the sides.

The grafts were used to rebuild the frontal hairline and carry coverage back across the front of the scalp. A case at this size is planned around what the donor area can supply, and around where the available grafts will make the most difference to how the scalp reads overall.

The after image shows this patient's individual result at the time of photography. Reduced density remains visible behind the treated area.

It starts with a diagnosis.

Hair loss in women usually presents differently to the male pattern. It is more often diffuse, with a widening part or a general drop in volume rather than a receding hairline. Female pattern hair loss is the most common cause, but telogen effluvium, thyroid conditions, iron deficiency, hormonal changes and scarring alopecias can all contribute, and more than one can be present at the same time.

Assessment involves history, examination of the scalp and hair, and blood tests where they are indicated. Once the cause is clear, the medical management of that condition can be discussed, and for many women that is the whole plan.

Surgery is a smaller part of the picture. It can be appropriate where there is a defined area of loss and a stable donor area, but diffuse thinning and an unstable donor supply often make it unsuitable.

If treatment starts before the cause is established, it is possible to spend months treating the wrong problem.

Both areas lose hair, but they behave differently and they are planned differently.

The hairline is a defined line at the front. It frames the face, it is what people see first, and a relatively small number of grafts placed well can make a visible difference. Once its shape is set, it stays roughly where it is.

The crown is a whorl. Hair radiates outward from a central point, so coverage has to be built in several directions for it to look natural. It is also a larger surface area than it appears in the mirror, and crown loss often keeps expanding outward with age. Grafts placed into a crown that is still enlarging can end up surrounded by further loss.

This is part of why the front is often prioritised when donor supply is limited. It is not that the crown cannot be treated. It is that donor hair is finite, and using a large share of it on an area that may keep expanding leaves less available later.

Where the crown is addressed, it is usually as part of a staged plan rather than on its own.

This patient underwent a 2700 graft FUE hair transplant to the frontal hairline and the scalp behind it.

Tightly curled hair behaves differently in a transplant. Each graft has to be angled to follow the direction of the curl, and extraction needs particular care because the follicle is curved beneath the skin. Curl also creates visual coverage, so density reads differently than it would with straight hair.

The grafts were placed to rebuild the hairline and improve coverage across the front, working with the patient's existing hair and the donor supply available.

The after images show this patient's individual result at the time of photography, viewed from the front and from above. Reduced density remains visible further back on the scalp.
