Hair transplant suitability
Are you suitable for a hair transplant?
Suitability depends on the cause and stability of your hair loss, the strength of your donor area, your health and what you want to achieve. Surgery is not always the right first step.
Dr Jamie assesses concerns including receding hairlines, temple recession, crown thinning and male-pattern hair loss.

The procedure
What happens during hair transplant surgery?
A hair transplant moves suitable follicles from the donor area to areas of thinning or loss. It redistributes existing hair; it does not prevent future loss in non-transplanted hair.

-
Step 1 Hairline design
Dr Jamie agrees the treatment area, coverage and hairline design suited to your features and donor supply. He reviews the plan with you carefully, including how future hair loss may influence the appropriate long-term design.
-
Step 2 Donor preparation
The donor area is trimmed, cleaned and prepared carefully according to the agreed FUE or FUT plan. Dr Jamie checks the planned extraction area before local anaesthetic is given and the treatment begins as discussed.
-
Step 3 Graft preparation
Follicular units are removed using the FUE or FUT technique, then examined and prepared by the team. Careful handling helps protect each graft before they are organised and ready for placement in the treatment area.
-
Step 4 Graft placement
Dr Jamie creates each recipient site following the planned angle, direction and distribution of your natural hair. The prepared grafts are placed across the agreed area to support even coverage and a balanced, natural-looking result.
-
Step 5 Aftercare planning
Before you leave, the team checks the treated areas and explains your written aftercare plan clearly again. You receive washing, sleeping and activity instructions, contact details, review timings and guidance about when to request advice.
Choosing a technique
FUE or FUT: which approach may suit you?
Both techniques move your own donor hair to areas of thinning or loss. The main difference is how the follicles are removed. Dr Jamie will recommend an approach based on your donor area, hairstyle, previous treatment and long-term plan.
Follicular unit extraction
Follicular units are removed individually from the donor area using a small punch, then prepared for placement in the treatment area.
- Donor hair
- Removed individually from the donor area using a small punch.
- Shaving
- The donor area is usually shaved to allow clear follicle access.
- Scarring
- Multiple small, round scars remain across the wider donor area.
Follicular unit transplantation
A narrow strip of hair-bearing scalp is removed from the donor area, then divided into follicular-unit grafts ready for placement.
- Donor hair
- Removed as a narrow strip, then carefully divided into grafts.
- Shaving
- The strip area is trimmed, but a full shave may not be needed.
- Scarring
- One linear scar remains where the donor strip has been removed.
Your doctor
Your hair transplant with Dr Jamie Harrison
Dr Jamie personally assesses your hair loss, agrees your treatment plan, performs the surgery and remains involved throughout aftercare. This keeps one doctor accountable through every stage of your care.
Planned reviews take place at approximately 3, 6 and 12 months so healing and growth can be assessed as your result develops.
Having had a hair transplant himself, he understands the practical questions patients have about consultation, recovery and waiting for results.
Recovery and aftercare
Hair transplant recovery and results timeline
The early days are about protecting what has been placed. The months that follow are about patience: transplanted hairs settle, shed and then begin a slower cycle of growth. Dr Jamie gives you a clear plan, checks your progress and stays available when you need reassurance.
- Visible early recovery
- Around 1–2 weeks
- Planned reviews
- 3, 6 and 12 months
- Early growth
- Commonly months 3–6
- Ongoing maturation
- Months 10–18
Protect the grafts
Keep the area protected and follow your personalised washing, sleeping and activity guidance. These first few days are about giving the grafts a calm start while the skin settles and early healing begins.
Shedding is normal
Some transplanted hairs can shed as the follicles reset. This can feel unsettling, but it is usually expected and does not mean the treatment has failed or that the final result is lost.
Look for the first signs
Early new hairs may appear unevenly and feel fine at first. Growth tends to arrive gradually, so photographs and patience are more useful than day-to-day comparisons while the hair becomes stronger and visible.
Let the result mature
Density and texture continue to settle over time. Dr Jamie reviews how your result is developing and discusses the next step only when further treatment is clinically appropriate and aligned with your goals.
In his own words
“If you’re worried about your hairline and it makes you feel self-conscious, I’d recommend having a consultation with Jamie. See what he can do and what the options are. Already, I can see that I’m going to be a lot more comfortable with my hairline. It’s a big confidence boost.”

Hair transplant FAQs
Questions patients ask about hair transplants
How much does a hair transplant cost in Manchester?
Smaller hairline cases start from £4,000, hairline and temple cases from £5,000, and crown or larger-area cases from £6,000. Two-stage procedures are quoted individually. Dr Jamie confirms the final surgical price in your written treatment plan after assessment.
Am I suitable for a hair transplant?
Suitability depends on the cause and progression of hair loss, donor supply, health and expectations. Assessment comes before any recommendation.
Can a hair transplant look natural?
A natural-looking result depends on careful hairline design, appropriate density and placing grafts to follow the angle and direction of your existing hair. Donor supply and the progression of future hair loss also shape what can be achieved.
What are the risks of hair transplant surgery?
Hair transplantation is surgery. Risks include bleeding, infection, anaesthetic reaction, altered sensation, visible scarring, poor graft growth, donor thinning and continued loss of non-transplanted hair. Dr Jamie will explain how these risks apply to you. Contact the clinic promptly about severe pain, unexpected swelling, bleeding, signs of infection or any other concerning symptom throughout the early recovery period.
Will a hair transplant stop future hair loss?
No. A hair transplant redistributes suitable follicles into areas of thinning or loss, but non-transplanted hair can continue to thin. Dr Jamie considers the likely future pattern of loss when planning the hairline and coverage.
How long does hair transplant surgery take?
Most procedures take much of the day. The exact duration depends on the treatment area, donor approach and number of grafts required. A larger treatment may be planned as two separate sessions when that is more appropriate.
Does a hair transplant hurt?
Hair transplant surgery is normally performed under local anaesthetic. The numbing injections can feel uncomfortable, but the scalp is checked before surgery begins. You may still notice pressure or movement and should tell the clinical team if you feel discomfort.
How many grafts will I need?
The number of grafts depends on the treatment area, the coverage that may be realistic and the strength of your donor supply. Dr Jamie estimates this after examining your hair loss pattern and discussing your longer-term plan.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Transplanted follicles are selected from a suitable donor area and are expected to retain many of their original characteristics. Results vary, and surrounding non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, so long-term planning remains important.
Who performs my hair transplant?
Dr Jamie personally assesses, plans and performs the procedure, then remains involved during aftercare.
How much time might I need away from work?
This depends on the procedure and your work. Many patients plan for the visible early recovery period to last around one to two weeks, but Dr Jamie will advise you individually.
When will I see the final result?
Growth is gradual. New growth often becomes visible after several months and maturation may continue for approximately 10 to 18 months.
