Questions, answered by treatment

Dr Bonaros designs an age-appropriate, irregular hairline that frames your face and is planned to age well over time.

In suitable candidates the hairline can be brought forward, balanced against your donor supply and long-term loss.

Yes. The leading edge is built from single-follicle grafts for a soft, undetectable transition.

Early growth begins around three to four months, with the full result developing over 12 to 18 months.

We assess your pattern and future loss carefully, as a conservative design protects your result as you age.

FUE leaves no linear scar, and tiny extraction points in the donor area fade and are hidden by surrounding hair.

Yes, restoring symmetry to temples and the central point is one of the most common hairline procedures.

The relocated follicles are resistant to balding, so a well-planned hairline lasts for life.

The crown grows in a natural swirl, so grafts must follow that whorl pattern to look believable.

Crown coverage often needs more grafts than the front because of the surface area and angle changes.

We plan around likely future loss so your result still looks natural as surrounding hair changes.

Yes, depending on donor supply, both areas can be addressed in one session or staged over two.

As with all transplants, expect visible growth from a few months and full density by 12 to 18 months.

The swirl can show scalp more easily, so realistic density expectations are discussed at consultation.

No linear scar with FUE — only tiny, well-hidden extraction points in the donor zone.

The grafts are taken from permanent donor hair, so crown coverage is lasting.

Yes. Grafts can be carefully placed into scars from past surgery, injury or older procedures to soften their appearance.

Scars are camouflaged rather than removed, but careful placement can make them far less noticeable.

Scar tissue has reduced blood supply, so density is planned conservatively to give grafts the best chance.

Yes, placing grafts into a linear strip scar is one of the most common scar-repair requests.

Growth follows the usual timeline, becoming visible over several months and maturing within 12 to 18 months.

Sometimes a second pass adds further density once the first grafts have established.

Many burn and trauma scars can be treated, assessed individually for tissue quality at consultation.

The transplanted follicles are permanent, so coverage over the scar is long-lasting.

It allows the procedure to be carried out without shaving your head, so the change is discreet.

Usually only small, hidden sections of the donor area are trimmed, concealed by surrounding hair.

It suits patients needing a smaller graft count who cannot take time away from work or social life.

It is more time-intensive, so it can cost more and is best for moderate graft numbers.

Because your existing hair stays long, signs of the procedure are minimal during recovery.

Most patients are back to daily routines within a couple of days with little visible evidence.

Larger restorations may still require partial shaving, which is discussed at your consultation.

Yes, graft survival and natural growth are equivalent when the technique is suitable for you.

Options include proven medication and regenerative therapies aimed at slowing loss and thickening existing hair.

For early-stage loss, non-surgical treatment may be enough, and Dr Bonaros advises surgery only when right for you.

Non-surgical results are gradual, typically becoming noticeable over three to six months of consistent use.

Benefits usually depend on continued treatment, as stopping can allow thinning to resume.

Yes, it is often used alongside surgery to protect and maintain your existing hair.

Most patients tolerate treatment well, and any potential effects are explained fully beforehand.

Several non-surgical options are appropriate for female pattern thinning, assessed individually.

Your consultation includes an honest assessment to match the right approach to your hair and goals.

Yes. Grafts are placed to add density and even out coverage where the beard grows thin.

Donor follicles are typically taken from the scalp and grow naturally once placed in the beard.

Careful angling and single-graft placement create a natural growth pattern that blends in.

Yes, the procedure can define cheek lines, the jaw and connect patchy areas to your moustache.

After an initial shedding phase, new growth establishes over several months and matures by around a year.

Once healed, transplanted beard hair can be shaved, trimmed and styled like the rest of your beard.

The grafts are permanent, so the added density lasts long-term.

It varies by area, but full beard work often uses between 1,000 and 2,500 grafts.

Body hair can supplement the scalp donor area when scalp supply alone is limited.

Common donor areas include the chest and beard, selected for suitable hair characteristics.

Body hair differs in texture and growth, so it is used strategically alongside scalp grafts for the best blend.

Survival can vary with body hair, which is why placement is planned carefully by Dr Bonaros.

It suits patients with advanced loss and insufficient scalp donor hair, assessed case by case.

FUE extraction leaves only tiny, scattered points that heal discreetly.

Recovery is similar to scalp FUE, with donor areas settling over the first one to two weeks.

Once established, the relocated follicles continue to grow in their new location long-term.

Yes. Restoration is tailored to female patterns of diffuse thinning and hairline loss.

Often an unshaven or minimally trimmed approach is possible, which many female patients prefer.

Causes include genetics, hormones and medical factors, all assessed before recommending treatment.

Grafts can be placed to rebuild density along the part and thinning zones where suitable.

The plan protects and works around your existing hair while adding density where needed.

Growth follows the usual pattern, with full results developing over 12 to 18 months.

Yes, many women benefit from non-surgical options either alone or alongside surgery.

The transplanted follicles are resistant to thinning, so the result is lasting.

A softer, more rounded and feminine hairline is designed as part of your transition.

Yes, rebuilding the temporal points is a key part of creating a feminine frame.

The design is shaped gently and at a pace that feels right for you.

Careful single-graft placement at the front creates a natural, undetectable hairline.

Hairline lowering and temple work commonly use a few thousand grafts, confirmed at consultation.

Visible growth begins after a few months, with the full result by 12 to 18 months.

Many patients achieve their goal in one session, with a second available for extra density if needed.

The relocated follicles continue to grow naturally for life.

It focuses on a masculine hairline, beard and density work designed around your goals.

Yes, beard and facial hair grafting is a common part of masculinising restoration.

A stronger, more angular hairline can be designed to suit a masculine appearance.

We discuss your treatment timeline so the plan complements changes from hormone therapy.

It depends on the areas treated; hairline and beard work are planned together at consultation.

Recovery mirrors standard FUE, with most patients back to routine within a few days.

Growth establishes over several months and matures within 12 to 18 months.

The transplanted follicles are permanent and grow naturally over time.
