Hair Transplant and Restoration

NeoGraft® is a special tool that allows surgeons to safely and effectively restore your hair. Instead of cutting a strip of hair from the scalp that will leave a scar, our team carefully removes each hair either one by one or in small groups. The procedure is done with local anesthesia and mild oral sedation at Summit Health Plastic Surgery offices in Westchester, NY and Greenwich, CT.

NeoGraft® is a minimally invasive procedure that uses no incisions and allows you to heal faster.

Yes, the procedure is safe when performed by a skilled surgeon who evaluates you thoroughly beforehand. Every procedure carries some risks of infection or bleeding. Some hair may not grow after the transplant, but most people see good results. Hair thinning may continue over time and some individuals will need an additional procedure in the future.

The price of the procedure depends on the complexity of your case. Prices range from $7,500 to $22,000, similar to other types of plastic surgery like face lifts or rhinoplasty.

Our doctors are highly trained, board-certified surgeons with experience in hair restoration and other types of surgery. We have helped thousands of patients at our fully equipped medical center.

Your care team will give you an oral anti-anxiety medication and a local anesthetic to help you relax. They will shave an area in the back of your head and carefully remove the hairs. The donor hairs will then be placed in the thinning areas of your scalp. The procedure takes about four hours, so we recommend bringing in music or a movie to watch.

You will not be in pain, but you may have some swelling on your forehead and eyelids for a few days. You should be back to normal in about a week, but it will take several months for the new hair to grow. Be patient, it can be a year or so before you see full growth. The donor area will regrow hair right away and can be hidden by longer hair or by shaving the area.

It will take 3-4 months before you start seeing new hair and up to 12-16 months for full growth. Your hair will grow naturally and the result should be thicker hair in the treated areas. It may not be as dense as a full head of hair, but it will look natural and should last for a significant period of time.
