Trusted SourcePreparing For SmartGraft
Before undergoing a SmartGraft FUE hair transplant, patients will have a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Stafford Broumand to discuss their hair loss concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals for surgical hair restoration. During this consultation, Dr. Broumand will evaluate the patient’s scalp and determine the most suitable treatment plan to achieve optimal results. Patients may be advised to discontinue certain medications or supplements that could affect the procedure’s outcome.
The SmartGraft Procedure
The SmartGraft procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort throughout the process. Using state-of-the-art technology, Dr. Broumand carefully extracts individual hair follicles from donor areas, typically located at the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to balding. These follicles are then meticulously implanted into recipient sites on the scalp where hair growth is desired. The entire procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day.
SmartGraft Recovery
Following SmartGraft FUE hair restoration, patients can expect minimal downtime, with most individuals able to resume normal activities within a few days. Mild swelling and discomfort may occur in the treated areas, but these symptoms typically subside quickly. Dr. Broumand will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Patients are encouraged to follow these instructions closely and attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns.
Who is a candidate for the SmartGraft hair restoration procedure?
Candidates for the SmartGraft hair restoration procedure typically include individuals experiencing thinning hair, or pattern baldness, and seeking effective treatment options. Those considering the procedure should consult with Dr. Broumand, a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine candidacy. SmartGraft is suitable for patients with adequate donor hair, typically located at the back of the head, for extraction and transplantation to areas with a receding hairline or bald patches.
Is SmartGraft FUE hair restoration painful?
SmartGraft is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure. Patients may experience some mild discomfort or soreness in the days following the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long does it take to see results from SmartGraft?
While individual results may vary, patients typically begin to see new hair growth within three to six months following SmartGraft FUE hair restoration. Full results are usually noticeable within 12 to 18 months, as transplanted hair follicles continue to grow and mature over time.

This results in a natural-looking hairline and minimal scarring, making SmartGraft FUE a preferred choice for many individuals seeking hair restoration.
Can SmartGraft be combined with other hair restoration treatments?
Yes, the SmartGraft FUE procedure can be combined with other hair restoration treatments to enhance results. Dr. Broumand will assess your specific needs and goals during your consultation and recommend a personalized treatment plan with the best hair restoration options to achieve optimal outcomes.
