NeoGraft FUE Hair Transplants at Jiles Cosmetic Surgery

At Jiles Cosmetic Surgery in Sarasota, FL, we know just how hard it can be when you start experiencing hair loss and all of the challenges that come with it. It ultimately affects your confidence just as much as your appearance. Luckily, our advanced NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique offers you cutting-edge solutions to your hair restoration needs. There are pitfalls that come with the more traditional methods, but this minimally invasive procedure gives you an effective, natural-looking solution for your hair loss.  

Follicular Unit Extraction is a highly sophisticated hair transplant technique where we harvest individual hair follicles from a donor area on your head. This is typically going to be the back of the head, where hair is more resistant to thinning. After the extraction, we implant the follicles into the thinning or balding areas of your scalp. What sets NeoGraft apart is its automated system, which enhances the accuracy and speed of the follicle extraction, minimizing the risks of damage and maximizing the viability of each graft.

Ideal Candidates for FUE Hair Transplantation

Follicular Unit Extraction provides you with a unique solution when you’re struggling with hair loss. This advanced technique is a great option when you are ready to take a significant step toward restoring your hair’s natural appearance. 

You may be a good candidate for FUE hair treatment if you:

  • Have enough healthy hair on the back and sides of your head, since this is typically where we go for harvesting donor hair.
  • You are experiencing typical male or female pattern baldness, where hair loss is primarily at the top and front of the scalp.
  • Your hair loss has stabilized, ensuring the FUE results are long-lasting and the condition doesn’t progress immediately after the procedure.
  • Your scalp is free from severe dermatological conditions, which could affect healing or graft survival.
  • While FUE is suitable for most ages, it works best for younger patients with early hair loss or older individuals with stable hair loss. Good overall health improves recovery times and final outcomes.


You might not be right for FUE if you:

  • Have sparse hair density in donor areas because that may mean you don’t have enough follicles for a successful transplant.
  • Have hair loss throughout the scalp, including donor areas.
  • You suffer from active scalp infections or diseases that affect your skin integrity.

Preparing for Your FUE NeoGraft Hair Transplant

As you start your path to hair restoration with NeoGraft, there are several preparatory steps that will help make sure you get the best results and have a smooth and straightforward experience. At Jiles Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Emily Jiles and her team take an individualized approach to tailor your treatment to your specific needs. Here’s what you can expect during each phase of preparation:

FUE/NeoGraft Consultation

During the first step of your preparation for FUE, you’ll meet with our team for a comprehensive consultation that is tailored to your specific hair restoration needs. During this session, Dr. Jiles assesses the pattern and extent of your hair loss to make sure the Follicular Unit Extraction technique is the right choice for you. We’ll also discuss your goals and how you want to look when your procedure and recovery are complete. You’ll receive a detailed plan that outlines the procedure, including the anticipated number of grafts required to achieve your desired results. This consultation is the perfect opportunity to make sure you are well-informed and comfortable with the process moving forward. It sets the stage for a successful hair restoration experience.

Medical Review

Before we make the final decision to move forward with your Follicular Unit Extraction, you’ll participate in a comprehensive medical review to ensure your eligibility and safety throughout the procedure. Here’s a closer look at what this involves:

  • Health Screening: During your detailed health screening, we confirm that you’re a good candidate for hair restoration. This important step involves an in-depth review of your medical history, and we discuss any current medications you’re taking. You need to make sure you disclose all health conditions and treatments so we can avoid any complications during or after the procedure.
  • Medication Adjustments: Adjusting your medications is another key preparation step for your FUE procedure. Dr. Jiles may advise you to temporarily stop or alter the dosage of certain medications that have the potential to negatively affect the surgery’s outcome. Common medications to review include blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, and some herbal supplements that increase bleeding risks. This helps put you in the best possible condition for your hair restoration.

Lifestyle Adjustments

Preparing your body for the NeoGraft procedure includes making some important lifestyle adjustments. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Smoking and Alcohol: We highly recommend that you stop smoking and reduce your alcohol intake several weeks before your procedure. Smoking can impair blood flow, impacting your healing. Additionally, alcohol consumption increases your bleeding risks. Making these changes helps set you up for a smoother recovery and minimizes potential complications.
  • Diet and Nutrition: A balanced diet plays a pivotal role in your preparation for hair restoration. Eating well helps boost your overall health and improves your body’s ability to heal after the procedure. Focus on incorporating sources of nutrients into your meals, including proteins, vitamins, and minerals, to support your recovery.

Day Before Surgery

On the day before your Follicular Unit Extraction, taking the right steps can significantly impact your comfort and the procedure’s success. Here’s what you should focus on:

  • Hydration: Stay well-hydrated as you prepare for your FUE. Drinking plenty of water the day before your procedure helps your body get ready for the stress of surgery and recovery. Proper hydration aids in healthy circulation and can help speed up the healing process post-surgery.
  • Relaxation: Managing stress and getting adequate rest are key the night before your hair restoration procedure. Try some relaxing activities such as reading, listening to soothing music, or meditating. A good night’s sleep helps regulate your body’s natural healing processes and can reduce anxiety. That helps your surgery day go as smoothly as possible.


This step-by-step preparation process sets the stage for a successful NeoGraft hair transplant and helps you align your expectations with achievable results. We want to help you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Dr. Jiles Brow lift review

My experience with Dr Jiles was great and the outcome of the procedure looks fantastic! I felt informed and confident from my first consultation right into aftercare. At no point did I feel pressured and I always felt as if Dr Jiles had my best interest at hand. I would highly recommend Dr Jiles to everyone.

What to Expect After Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

We want to help make sure your recovery from NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction is streamlined so you can get back to your daily activities as fast as possible. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during the recovery process.

Immediate Post-FUE Hair Surgery

Right after your NeoGraft procedure, you’ll notice some redness and minor swelling in the treated areas. This is very normal and typically starts to go away after the first few days. We highly recommend you rest for the rest of the day after your procedure, but you should feel well enough to start some non-strenuous activities the very next day. You need to use gentle, unscented shampoo when you wash your hair.

First Week After a FUE Hair Transplant

During the first week, it’s extremely important that you protect the newly transplanted follicles. Avoid any vigorous activities that could potentially increase your blood pressure and dislodge the grafts. You might have some shedding of the transplanted hair, but you shouldn’t worry. It is a completely normal part of the process, as the roots remain and will grow new hair. Sleeping with your head elevated can help reduce any swelling.

One to Three Months After a NeoGrat Hair Transplant

As you progress through recovery, you’ll gradually return to your regular routines. By the end of the first month, you can start some more vigorous physical activities. You probably still won’t see any visible hair growth at this stage of your recovery because the transplanted follicles are entering a new growth cycle. It’s important that you stick to a nutritious diet and gentle hair care routine to support optimal growth.

Beyond Three Months After a FUE Surgery

From the fourth month onward, you’ll start to see new hair growth. This hair will be thin at first but does thicken over time. By six to twelve months, you should see significant improvement in hair density and coverage. This new growth will blend seamlessly with your existing hair, allowing you to style it in any manner you wish.

Throughout this period, Dr. Jiles works to support you by answering and addressing any concerns or questions you have. We want to help make your recovery as comfortable and successful as possible.

Understanding FUE Hair Transplant Surgery Costs

Understanding the financial aspects of hair transplant surgery is important for making an informed decision about moving forward with the FUE procedure. At our clinic in Sarasota, we help break down all of the costs involved. Initially, a $150 consultation fee is required, which will be added to the total cost of your procedure should you choose to proceed. The price varies based on the number of grafts we decide to include after your medical examination, and it is also influenced by the facility fees and add-on costs associated with the grafting procedure. However, we do want to help accommodate different budgets. That’s why we offer you financing options through Care Credit and Lending USA for our hair treatment for hair loss. We want to help you feel confident and informed about your investment and avoid any surprises or uncertainties later down the line.
