What actually happens on the day of a natural hair transplant? In this behind-the-scenes video, Dr. Sherif Hegazy takes you through the procedure step by step. Here’s the written companion so you know exactly what to expect.

A natural hair transplant day runs in clear steps: consultation and hairline design, local anaesthetic, graft extraction from the donor area, careful preparation of the grafts, then precise placement at the right angle and density — all while you’re awake and comfortable.

The procedure, step by step

  • Design — the hairline is drawn and agreed with you before anything begins.
  • Anaesthetic — local anaesthetic numbs the area; you stay awake and comfortable.
  • Extraction — individual follicular units are harvested from the donor zone.
  • Preparation — grafts are sorted and kept in optimal conditions to protect survival.
  • Placement — each graft is implanted at the correct angle, direction, and density.

Dr. Sherif Hegazy’s take: “Patients are always surprised how calm the day is — you’re awake, comfortable, and it feels more like a long, detailed session than an operation. The artistry the camera can’t fully show is the angle of every single graft; that’s where the natural result is built.”

If the design step interests you, see how a natural hairline is designed; for what comes next, read the recovery timeline and how to prepare beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Am I awake during the procedure?

Yes — it’s done under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake and comfortable throughout.

How long does it take?

Usually several hours, depending on the number of grafts being placed.

Does it hurt?

The anaesthetic makes the procedure comfortable; mild tenderness afterwards is managed easily.
