Hair Transplant
Overview
Hair transplant surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the transplantation of hair follicles from a donor area to an area of the scalp that is bald or experiencing hair loss. The most common types of hair transplant surgery include follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).
During FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the back of the scalp and hair follicles are extracted from the strip for transplantation. FUE involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area.
Hair transplant surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and may take several hours to complete. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure, but patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity and follow a prescribed aftercare routine.
Procedure
The hair transplant procedure involves several steps:
Preparation: Before the procedure, the patient’s scalp is thoroughly cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia.
Harvesting the donor hair: The surgeon uses a small, circular cutting tool to remove individual hair follicles from the donor area of the scalp. These follicles are typically extracted from the back or sides of the head where the hair is dense and less prone to hair loss.
Preparing the recipient area: The surgeon creates small incisions in the balding or thinning areas of the scalp where the hair follicles will be transplanted.
Transplanting the hair follicles: The hair follicles are carefully transplanted into the incisions in the recipient area. The surgeon will place the follicles in a specific pattern to ensure that the hair grows in a natural direction and looks aesthetically pleasing.
Post-operative care: After the procedure, the patient’s scalp is bandaged and they are given instructions on how to care for the newly transplanted hair. They may also be prescribed medications to reduce the risk of infection and promote healing.
The procedure typically takes several hours to complete, and patients may need multiple sessions to achieve their desired results. It can take several months for the transplanted hair to grow in fully, but once it does, it should look and behave like natural hair.
Overall, hair transplant can be an effective way to restore hair growth and improve the appearance of the hair. However, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you, and to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the surgery.
