Change in Hair density
Hair density (the number of hairs per square centimeter) will be measured using a trichoscope and digital photography in the recipient area.
Time frame: 12 weeks after hair transplantation
Percentage of Hair Growth
The percentage of graft survival will be assessed by comparing the number of transplanted hairs to the number of hairs that have grown in the recipient area using trichoscopic analysis and digital photography. The formula used will be: (number of grown hairs/number of transplanted hairs) x100%
Time frame: 12 weeks after hair transplantation
Patient satisfaction score
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using Likert scale from 1 to 5 regarding aesthetic results, hair density, and natural appearance. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Time frame: 12weeks after hair translantation
Incidence of Postoperative complications
The number and type of complications, including infection,graft necrosis, excessive shedding, and scalp irritation, will be documented. The severity of complications will be assessed using clinical examination and patient reports
Time frame: within 1 month after hair transplantation
