Glossary Graft Survival

success rate of transplanted hair follicles thriving post-procedure

Graft survival refers to the success rate of transplanted hair follicles continuing to grow and thrive after being moved from one part of the body to another, typically in hair restoration procedures. For both laypersons and professionals, it indicates how well the transplanted hair adapts and integrates into the new location, which is crucial for achieving natural-looking and long-lasting results. Factors influencing graft survival include the skill of the surgeon, the health of the follicles, and post-operative care.
