Cases Not Recommended for
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.

  • 1:1 Attending Physician Care

    Consultation, Design, and Surgery

    From start to finish, your attending physician
    personally manages the entire process from consultation to post-surgery.

  • Systematic Post-Surgery Management

    Post-Surgery Care

    A dedicated manager provides 1:1 supervision
    for your recovery. We offer discounts on scalp care products and programs for surgical patients, and provide an after-care kit to all patients so they can continue care at home immediately after surgery, ensuring customized management based on progress.

  • High Engraftment Rate

    Cytokine Follicle Storage

    Harvested hair follicles must be stored in a low-temperature environment of 2-8°C. Until transplantation, we store them in a cytokine solution rather than saline to maintain healthy follicles and ensure safe storage until the procedure.

  • Self-Developed Implanter

    In-house Development

    MOMO's medical team, backed by experience with vast amounts of patient data, participated in the research.

    We developed needles in 17 different thicknesses to easily adjust the direction, density, and angle of hair, allowing for transplantation tailored to each individual's hair thickness.

  • Free Hair Loss Medication Prescription

    For MOMO Surgical Patients

    For MOMO surgical patients,
    we provide free lifetime prescriptions for hair loss medication to ensure continued management even after surgery.

  • Density Guarantee Hospital

    Responsibility Guarantee Certificate Provided

    To ensure satisfying results after hair transplant surgery, we take responsibility for and guarantee the engraftment of the transplanted hair. If the patient is dissatisfied with the engraftment rate or transplant density compared to pre-surgery, we provide free retouching surgery.
