Hair transplant

A Hair Transplant is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one area of the body (usually the back of the head) to areas with thinning or balding hair.

Types of Hair Transplants

  1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

    • Individual hair follicles are harvested directly from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area.
    • Minimal scarring and less invasive.

  2. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):

    • A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and then individual follicles are extracted from the strip for implantation.
    • Produces more grafts in a single session but may leave a linear scar.

Benefits of Hair Transplant

  • Provides natural-looking hair restoration.
  • Permanent solution for hair loss.
  • Improves self-confidence and appearance.
  • Minimal downtime compared to other surgical procedures.
  • Less risk of scarring, depending on the technique used.

Procedure Overview

  1. Consultation:

    • A surgeon evaluates the extent of hair loss and the donor area’s health.

  2. Preparation:

    • Hair is trimmed, and local anesthesia is administered to the donor and recipient areas.

  3. Harvesting:

    • For FUE: Individual follicular units are extracted.
    • For FUT: A strip of scalp is surgically removed for extraction.

  4. Implantation:

    • Extracted follicles are meticulously implanted into the balding or thinning areas.

Ideal Candidates for Hair Transplant

  • Individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness.
  • Those with sufficient donor hair in the back or sides of the scalp.
  • Healthy individuals with no underlying medical conditions affecting hair growth.

Results

  • Immediate: Some shedding of transplanted hairs is normal within the first few weeks.
  • Long-Term: Full results are visible within 12-18 months.
  • Improved hair density and natural growth over time.

Recovery Process

  • Post-Procedure:

    • Scabbing and mild discomfort for a few days post-surgery.
    • Swelling may occur around the forehead and donor area.
    • Stitches or sutures (if FUT) removed after 10-14 days.

  • Downtime:

    • Return to work within 2-7 days depending on individual recovery.

Risks and Complications

  • Common Risks:
    • Swelling, redness, and temporary numbness.
    • Graft failure or uneven hair growth.
    • Infection and scarring in rare cases.
