areas on the scalp where hair follicles are transplanted

Recipient sites, also known as graft recipient sites or hair transplant recipient sites, are the areas on the scalp where hair follicles are transplanted during a hair restoration procedure. These sites are carefully prepared by a surgeon to ensure proper placement, angle, and density of the transplanted hair, which is crucial for achieving a natural-looking result.
