Hair loss and baldness can affect appearance, confidence, and quality of life. While hair fall may initially respond to medicines or non-surgical treatments, some people with significant or permanent hair loss may benefit from hair restoration surgery. Hair transplant in Mumbai is a minimally invasive procedure that relocates healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp, to areas affected by thinning or baldness.
At Viva Aesthetic Clinic, Dr. Deepam Shah provides personalized hair restoration based on the patient’s hair-loss pattern, donor density, hair texture, facial proportions, and long-term expectations. The clinic offers several techniques, including FUE, non-shave FUE, FUT, beard and eyebrow transplantation, female hair transplantation, high-density transplantation, and restoration of hair over scars.
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which healthy follicular units are taken from a donor area and implanted into thinning or bald regions. The transplanted follicles retain their original genetic characteristics and can continue producing hair in their new location.
The goal is not simply to add as many grafts as possible. A successful procedure requires appropriate donor management, natural hairline design, correct graft placement, and realistic expectations. At Viva Aesthetic Clinic, Dr. Deepam Shah personally evaluates the scalp and designs the hairline before the procedure.
The process generally begins with a detailed scalp consultation. Dr. Deepam Shah assesses the patient’s Norwood stage, donor density, hair texture, scalp characteristics, and expected requirements using digital trichoscopy.
The hairline is then designed according to facial symmetry, age, natural hair direction, and anticipated future hair loss. During extraction, individual follicular units containing approximately one to four hairs can be removed from the donor area under local anesthesia.
The grafts are carefully prepared and examined under a stereo microscope before implantation. Each graft is placed at an appropriate angle, direction, and depth to create a natural-looking result.
The appropriate technique depends on the patient’s degree of hair loss, donor area, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, involves extracting individual grafts using small punches. The clinic states that ultra-fine 0.7–0.8 mm punches are used to minimize visible scarring. FUE does not leave the linear scar associated with strip harvesting and can be suitable for scalp, beard, and eyebrow restoration.
Non-shave or long-hair FUE is designed for patients who do not want their donor or recipient area shaved. Existing hair can help conceal the treatment area, making this option particularly attractive to working professionals and patients seeking greater discretion.
Follicular Unit Transplantation involves removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area and separating it into individual grafts. It may be considered for patients with advanced baldness who require a larger number of grafts. Unlike FUE, FUT leaves a linear scar, which can generally be concealed by keeping the surrounding hair at an appropriate length.
Hair restoration is not limited to the scalp. FUE can also be used for beard restoration, eyebrow transplantation, and selected cases of female hair loss. The treatment approach is adapted to the unique direction, density, and characteristics of hair in each area.
