“…Also the grafts should never be implanted in symmetrical rows and columns, there should be a random arrangement to give a natural look. [89]To achieve natural results, two other aspects that need detailed discussion are angle of implantation and direction. The angle of implanting the graft should be 45degrees or less and even further acute in the temporal triangles.…”

Recipient area is the canvas in a hair transplant surgery, where the surgeon can truly display his artistic creativity and deliver an aesthetic masterpiece, after all hair transplantation is as much about art as science. There are four main steps in dealing with the recipient area. Marking the hairline and estimation of grafts is the most important steps to give a natural look. There are multiple anatomical markers that need to be addressed while drawing a hairline. The second step is the anesthesia and it should be as painless as possible. This is followed by implantation, which can be achieved by various techniques. There are multiple technicalities to be considered while implanting, such as density, angle, and direction. Once implantation is done, the final step is appropriate postoperative care. Each of these steps has been discussed in detail in this chapter.

“…Lorazepam may increase the threshold before the rare side effects of lidocaine toxicity become evident. 1 We also administer antiemetic agents to avoid any associated nausea and vomiting. The antiemetic ondansetron 4 mg is administered intravenously over 2 to 5 minutes, immediately before the induction of anesthesia.…”

“…Vibratory stimulus to the skin will reduce the pain of initial injections. [2][3][4][5] A small 0.3 mL syringe with a 31 gauge needle is used for the initial infiltration in the donor area, allowing less pressure on the skin (Figure 1). Slow injections and waiting a few seconds between injections decrease the pain caused by tissue distension.…”

Pain during hair restoration surgery and other dermatologic surgery procedures is one of patients' main fears. The authors briefly describe local anesthesia techniques they use in their surgical practice that make these procedures more pleasant for patients. The ability to provide a pain-free experience during hair restoration surgery will increase patients' satisfaction and allow patients to return for subsequent procedures.

“…The patient is placed in a prone position, and local anesthesia is applied as described previously. 5,6 Usually tumescence with saline is not necessary for the P-FUE procedure. The 1.0-mm punch blade is attached to the micromotor handpiece, which is basically designed to create the recipient site, and the angle along the direction of the hairs is set.…”
