HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE:

Hair Transplant, done by FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) methodology is a proven, minimally invasive outpatient procedure in which follicular unit grafts, consisting of a small number of hair follicles, are individually removed from the genetically stronger areas of your scalp called the “donor” area and artistically restored to your thinning areas called the “recipient” area. FUE natural graft placement process is done to recreate your hairline and growth pattern for a permanent, natural-looking result. And because there are no linear scars and no stitches, your donor area will heal in just a few days.

Types of surgery

There are a number of applications for hair transplant surgery, including:

Alopecia

Eyebrow transplant

Frontal hair line lowering or reconstruction (naturally high hairlines without an existing hair loss condition)

If donor hair numbers from the back of the head are insufficient, it is possible to perform body hair transplantation (BHT) on appropriate candidates who have available donor hair on the chest, back, shoulders, torso and/or legs. Body hair transplant surgery can only be performed by the FUE harvesting method

What Is Getting a Hair Transplant like?

In the initial step of the Hair Transplant Surgery, hair follicles from the back of the head are removed and relocated to the balding areas.

Before the surgery is started, the hair in the donor area are trimmed.

Once the hair in the donor area are trimmed it is given local anesthesia.

Once the local anesthesia is given to the patient, the balding recipient area is prepared for the surgical process No trimming/removal of hair is required at the top of the recipient area.

individual follicular units containing 1 to 4 hairs are removed under local anesthesia;

this micro removal typically uses tiny punches of between 0.6mm and 1.0mm in diameter.

The surgeon then uses very small micro blades or fine needles to puncture the sites for receiving the grafts, placing them in a predetermined density and pattern, and angling the wounds in a consistent fashion to promote a realistic hair pattern.

After the hair transplant surgery, tiny incisions with short hair would be visible on the patients operated area.

The incision marks heal naturally and the redness in the recipient area vanishes itself within a week.

Hair Transplant facts:

The transplanted hair behaves like natural hair and sheds between two to four weeks of transplant. The roots thereafter start sprouting hair naturally and continue to do so for a lifetime. 

Use of local anesthesia makes it a painless procedure and the patient can go home the same day.

Hair transplant is different from non-surgical hair restoration in which a pre-chosen base is fixed on scalp with dexterity.

Hair transplant does not mean you will have a luxurious crop of hair as the result varies from person to person and has also some link with a person's natural hair quality.

Every case of baldness does not have a solution in hair transplantation. It entirely depends on case to case basis.

The cost of the procedure depends on the number of follicles.

The Recovery

Your surgeon will have you wear bandages over your scalp for at least a day or two. He may also prescribe an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory drug for you to take for several days. Most people are able to return to work 2 to 5 days after the operation.Within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will fal
