How long does a hair transplant operation take?

I am a 60 year old female. I want to know how long does a hair transplant operation take?

A few hours are needed for most hair transplant procedures. The more hair transferred the longer the time. Some doctors will do 500 grafts in one session so 6 to 8 hours for the operation is possible. Ask you doctor how long the procedure will take - time is not important. A good result is the most important aspect of hair transplantation.
Hello,

It completely depends on how many grafts we are doing during the session. Typical cases last for several hours, but full scalp cases can go into the afternoon.

Best,
