9-Hour FUE Hair Transplant Journey at LeJeune Medspa, Bangalore
Precision. Comfort. Natural Results.
At LeJeune Medspa, every hair transplant is a seamless blend of medical precision, aesthetic artistry, and patient comfort. Each procedure is meticulously structured to deliver the most natural and long-lasting results using advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology.
This account details the 9-hour FUE hair transplant journey of a 3,000-follicle procedure performed at LeJeune Medspa, Bangalore — showcasing the expertise, care, and attention that define our approach.
Pre-Procedure Planning
The day begins at 8:30 AM. The patient arrives at LeJeune Medspa’s state-of-the-art surgical suite, where our medical team conducts pre-operative checks and reviews the treatment plan in detail.
The surgeon designs a customised frontal hairline, ensuring proportions that perfectly complement the patient’s facial structure. The donor and recipient areas are marked, trimmed, and thoroughly cleaned. Local anaesthesia is administered gradually to ensure a completely pain-free experience.
Once the scalp is fully numb, the procedure begins.
Step 1: Graft Extraction (9:00 AM – 12:45 PM)
The surgeon carefully extracts grafts from the donor area—typically the back and sides of the scalp—where hair growth remains permanent and unaffected by male pattern baldness.
Using a micromotor-assisted FUE device with a 0.8–0.9 mm punch, individual follicular units are delicately separated and extracted one by one. Each graft is immediately placed in a chilled saline solution to preserve hydration and viability.
Throughout this phase, short hydration and stretching breaks are given every 45–60 minutes, allowing the patient to relax and maintain comfort.
After approximately four hours, around 3,000 follicles are successfully extracted and sorted into single, double, and triple follicular units.
Lunch Break (12:45 PM – 1:30 PM)
Once extraction is complete, the patient enjoys a light, healthy lunch—typically consisting of soup, fruits, or salad—to stay comfortable and energised.
During this time, the surgical team sterilises instruments, prepares implantation pens, and organises grafts for implantation. The break allows both patient and team to recharge before proceeding to the artistic phase of the procedure.
Step 2: Recipient Site Creation (1:30 PM – 3:15 PM)
The surgeon then creates the recipient sites—tiny microchannels where the grafts will be implanted.
Using ultra-fine blades, the surgeon makes precise micro-incisions that follow the natural direction, depth, and angle of existing hair. Particular care is given to the frontal hairline, where single grafts are used to create a soft, natural transition.
This stage typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, with a brief mid-session stretch break for patient comfort.
Step 3: Graft Implantation (3:15 PM – 6:30 PM)
In the final stage, the medical team implants each follicular unit into its designated site using fine implanter pens or precision forceps.
The process is slow and deliberate—each graft is positioned at the correct angle, depth, and spacing to ensure natural growth and density. Continuous hydration with saline keeps the scalp moist throughout.
The surgeon supervises every step, maintaining uniform density and natural flow. Two short micro-breaks are given for comfort.
By 6:30 PM, all 3,000 grafts are successfully implanted, completing the day’s work with remarkable precision and symmetry.
Immediate Post-Procedure Care (6:30 PM – 7:30 PM)
After implantation, the scalp is gently cleansed. The donor area is lightly dressed, while the recipient zone is left open to air.
The surgeon provides a detailed post-operative care plan, including:
- Spraying saline every 30–45 minutes for the first 48 hours
- Sleeping with the head elevated at a 45° angle
- Avoiding scratching, bending, or touching the grafts
- Taking prescribed antibiotics, anti-swelling medication, and pain relievers
- Avoiding sun exposure, sweating, or strenuous activity for 10–14 days
Patients receive a full prescription sheet, detailed washing instructions, and follow-up appointments to ensure smooth healing and optimal results.
Recovery Timeline
Stage Duration Key Events
Days 1-3 Mild redness, tightness, and scabbing appear. Keep the scalp hydrated and elevated.
Days 4-7 Gentle shampooing begins. Scabs start to shed naturally.
Days 10-17 The donor area heals significantly. Implanted follicles stabilise.
Weeks 3-6 Temporary shedding (shock loss) occurs as a natural phase of regrowth.
Months 2-3 New hair growth begins, initially soft and fine.
Months 6-12 Steady thickening continues; full density and final results become visible
After that, once swelling subsides and grafts are secure, you can gradually shift to your normal sleeping posture.
