Hair Transplant
MOMO determines surgery eligibility based on
the client's hair and scalp condition.
MOMO Does Not Blindly
Recommend Surgery
Just as hair transplant requires a major decision, MOMO understands our clients' concerns.
While hair loss patterns may differ between men and women, it is crucial to recognize that there is a "golden time" for hair transplant surgery that should not be missed.
We recommend consistent scalp care, hair loss management, and medication to ensure you do not miss the golden time for hair transplant surgery.
Based on consultations with 35,065 first-time patients at MOMO Plastic Surgery, we confirmed that 13.5% (4,941 patients) were ineligible for hair transplant surgery.

Types Not Recommended for Surgery
-
TYPE 01
Insufficient Space for Implantation
Determined based on hair condition.
These are cases where patients visited suspecting hair loss, but the hair density is high, indicating it is not yet the stage for hair transplant surgery.
-
TYPE 02
Scalp Exposure Due to 'Miniaturization'
Determined based on symptoms and causes.
If the hair strands have thinned, the engraftment rate is likely to be low even with a transplant.
Since follicle strengthening is required, we recommend scalp treatment prior to surgery. -
TYPE 03
Insufficient Donor Hair
Determined based on the stage of hair loss progression.
If the area of hair loss is larger than the donor area at the back of the head, we recommend treatment over surgery due to the shortage of donor hair.
-
TYPE 04
Hair Loss Due to Other Medical Conditions
Determined based on the causes of hair loss.
If disease-related hair loss has developed due to scalp inflammation, nutritional imbalance, or tumors, medical treatment is the priority over hair transplant.
