A Tailored Surgical Option for Men Experiencing Permanent Hair Loss
Hair loss affects men in different ways, from a receding hairline to thinning at the crown or more widespread loss over time. For men considering a hair transplant in Melbourne, the most suitable approach depends on individual hair loss patterns, donor hair availability and long-term planning rather than a single standard solution.
At Atlantis Medical, men’s hair transplants are approached as a personalised surgical decision. Each individual is assessed carefully to determine whether surgery is appropriate and, if so, which strategy best aligns with current hair loss and likely future progression.

Hair Loss Patterns Commonly Seen in Men
Male hair loss often follows recognisable patterns influenced by genetics and hormones. Understanding how hair loss presents helps determine whether a surgical hair transplant may be suitable and how treatment should be planned.
Common patterns of hair loss seen in men include:
- Receding hairline, particularly at the temples
- Thinning or balding at the crown
- Gradual loss across the frontal scalp
- Progressive hair loss that continues over time
When a Hair Transplant May Be Considered
A men’s hair transplant is not suitable for everyone, and timing plays an important role. Surgery is typically considered when hair loss has stabilised or is progressing in a predictable pattern, allowing for realistic and sustainable planning.
A hair transplant for men in Melbourne may be considered when:
- Hair loss is permanent rather than temporary or stress-related
- There is sufficient donor hair available
- Expectations are realistic and focused on long-term outcomes
- Non-surgical options have been explored where appropriate
Surgical Hair Transplant Options for Men
There are two established surgical techniques used in male hair restoration. Each approach has specific indications depending on hair loss pattern, donor area characteristics and individual circumstances.
Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)
Follicular Unit Excision involves the individual extraction of hair follicles from the donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp. This technique is often considered by men who prefer shorter hairstyles or require detailed hairline work.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular Unit Transplantation involves removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, allowing a larger number of follicles to be harvested efficiently. This approach may be suitable for men with more advanced hair loss or those requiring a higher number of grafts.
Hairline Design and Density Planning for Men
Hairline design plays a central role in men’s hair transplant surgery. Achieving a natural appearance requires careful planning that accounts for facial structure, age and the likelihood of future hair loss.
Key factors considered during hairline and density planning include:
- Hairline placement that suits facial proportions
- Avoiding overly aggressive or low hairlines
- Density planning that supports long-term balance
Preserving donor hair for future needs
Non-Surgical Support Before or After Surgery
Not all men proceed directly to surgery. In some cases, non-surgical hair loss treatments may be recommended either before or after a hair transplant to support existing hair and help manage ongoing loss. These options may help stabilise hair loss before surgery, support both transplanted and non-transplanted hair and reduce the likelihood of additional procedures in the future.
How Much Does a Men’s Hair Transplant Cost?
The cost of a men’s hair transplant can vary depending on several individual factors, including the extent and pattern of hair loss, the number of grafts required, the surgical technique used and the complexity of hairline design. As every treatment plan is personalised, accurate pricing can only be provided following a professional assessment that considers both current hair loss and long-term planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am suitable for a men’s hair transplant?
Suitability for a men’s hair transplant depends on factors such as the pattern and stability of hair loss, donor hair availability and long-term planning. A professional assessment is required to determine whether surgery is appropriate or if alternative options should be considered.
Is a hair transplant permanent for men?
A hair transplant uses follicles that are typically resistant to ongoing hair loss, which means transplanted hair is generally long-lasting. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why long-term planning is important.
What age is best for a men’s hair transplant?
There is no single ideal age for a men’s hair transplant, as suitability depends more on hair loss stability than age alone. Surgery is usually considered once hair loss patterns are predictable and future progression can be reasonably planned for.
What is the difference between FUE and FUT for men?
FUE and FUT are two different surgical techniques used to harvest donor hair, and each has specific advantages depending on hair loss pattern and graft requirements. The most suitable option is determined during consultation based on individual needs rather than preference alone.
How long does it take to see results after a men’s hair transplant?
Transplanted hair typically sheds in the early months before regrowing gradually over time. Visible improvement usually develops over several months, with outcomes continuing to mature as hair growth progresses.
Can a hair transplant treat a receding hairline and crown thinning?
A hair transplant can be used to address areas such as a receding hairline, thinning crown, or frontal scalp, depending on donor availability and overall planning. Treatment is tailored to prioritise balance and long-term sustainability rather than treating one area in isolation.
Will I need more than one hair transplant in the future?
Some men may require additional treatment if hair loss continues in untreated areas over time. Long-term planning during the initial assessment helps reduce the likelihood of future procedures, but cannot always eliminate the need entirely.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
