Long Hair Transplant
Long hair transplantation is a special hair restoration procedure that involves directly transplanting long hair. Unlike traditional hair transplants, which use short hair, this method allows for immediately visible results and a more natural appearance immediately after the procedure.
Why a Long Hair Transplant?
A long hair transplant can be beneficial for several reasons:
- Immediate results: Allows patients to see visible changes immediately after surgery without having to wait for the transplanted hair to grow.
- Natural aesthetics: Long hair instantly conceals the donor and recipient areas, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Increased self-confidence: Patients can quickly return to their normal lives with an immediately improved appearance and increased self-confidence.
- Ideal for special occasions: This method is especially suitable for patients who desire fast results before special events such as weddings or public appearances.

The Intervention
Long hair transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia and involves several steps:
- Consultation and Planning: In a detailed consultation, your individual wishes and needs are discussed, and a customized treatment plan is developed.
- Hair Follicle Extraction: Long hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a special instrument. This creates small, pinpoint wounds that heal quickly.
- Preparation and Transplantation: The extracted hair follicles are carefully prepared and then transplanted into the bald or sparsely populated areas of the head.
- Aftercare: The transplanted areas are cleaned and protected. A bandage is applied to promote healing.
Advantages of Long Hair Transplantation
- Natural and lasting results: Long hair ensures immediately visible and aesthetically pleasing results.
- Minimal scarring: Precise harvesting and transplantation results in minimal, barely visible scars.
- Fast recovery: The minimally invasive method allows for a quick recovery and minimal downtime.
- High patient satisfaction: Patients can enjoy an improved appearance and increased self-confidence immediately after surgery.
After the Operation
Slight swelling and redness are normal after surgery and usually subside within a few days. Most patients are able to return to social activities after about a week. The transplanted hair begins to grow after about three to four months, and the final result is visible after about a year.

Questions & Answers
Am I a suitable candidate for long hair transplantation?
After a thorough assessment of your hair loss and the donor area, our team will determine if this technique is suitable for you and can help you achieve the desired results.
Is long hair transplantation painful?
The treatment is performed under local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Afterward, some mild discomfort may occur, which subsides quickly.
When will I see the final results of the long hair transplant?
Although the longer hairs are visible immediately after the procedure, the transplanted follicles undergo the same growth cycle as with conventional transplants. The final result is visible after 9 to 12 months.
Will the costs of a long hair transplant be covered by health insurance?
Since this is a cosmetic procedure, the costs are usually not covered by health insurance.
