Hair Transplant

WHAT IS HAIR TRANSPLANT?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure performed to address hair loss or thinning hair. It involves removing hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair growth is abundant, and implanting them into areas where hair is thinning or absent, such as the top or front of the scalp.

There are two primary methods of hair transplantation:

What is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)method ?

Also known as strip harvesting, this technique involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and dissecting it into individual hair follicles. The donor area is then sutured or stapled closed, leaving a linear scar that can be covered by surrounding hair. The harvested follicles are then transplanted into tiny incisions made in the recipient area.

Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the FUT procedure:

1.Donor Area Preparation:

The patient’s scalp is prepared for surgery by trimming the hair in the donor area, which is typically the back of the scalp. The donor area is then sterilized, and the patient is administered local anesthesia to numb the area.

2.Donor Strip Removal:

A strip of scalp tissue, typically about 1 to 1.5 centimeters wide and extending from one ear to the other, is surgically removed from the donor area. The length of the strip depends on the number of grafts needed to achieve the desired outcome. The surrounding skin is then sutured or stapled together to close the incision.

3.Follicular Unit Dissection:

The strip of scalp tissue containing the hair follicles is carefully dissected under a microscope into individual follicular units. A follicular unit typically consists of one to four hair follicles, along with associated sebaceous glands, nerves, and blood vessels.

4.Recipient Area Preparation:

While the grafts are being prepared, the recipient area, where the hair will be transplanted, is prepared. Tiny incisions or recipient sites are made in the recipient area following the natural hairline and pattern.

5.Graft Placement:

The individual follicular units are then meticulously transplanted into the recipient sites using specialized instruments. The surgeon takes into account

density of the existing hair to ensure a natural-looking result.

The grafts are placed in a way that mimics the natural hair growth pattern of the patient.

6.Recovery and Growth:

After the procedure, the donor area is sutured or stapled closed, leaving a linear scar that can be covered by surrounding hair. The transplanted hair will initially shed within a few weeks, but new hair growth from the transplanted follicles will begin within a few months. Over time, the transplanted hair will continue to grow naturally.

FUT allows for the transplantation of a larger number of grafts in a single session compared to other methods like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). However, it does leave a linear scar in the donor area, which may be a consideration for some individuals. It’s important to consult with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine the most suitable technique for your specific needs and goals. DR.A.SARAVANAN is one of the best hair transplant surgeons in Tamilnadu and ARUMEEN AESTHETIC CENTER is located in Trichy.

1.What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method ?

In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a small, specialized punch tool. The extraction process leaves small, circular scars that are less noticeable than the linear scar of FUT. The extracted follicles are then implanted into the recipient area.

After the procedure, the transplanted hair will initially fall out within a few weeks. However, new hair growth will begin within a few months, and over time, the transplanted hair will become permanent and continue to grow naturally.

It’s important to note that hair transplantation is a surgical procedure and should be performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. It is recommended to consult with a specialist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a hair transplant and to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

WHAT IS THE BENEFITS OF HAIR TRANSPLANT ?

1.Permanent Hair Restoration

Hair transplant surgery provides a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to the hormone responsible for hair loss (DHT), allowing them to continue growing hair in the recipient area for the rest of your life.

2.Natural-Looking Results:

Skilled hair transplant surgeons carefully design the hairline and strategically place the transplanted follicles to match the natural growth pattern and direction of your existing hair. This results in a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

3.Minimal Maintenance Required:

Once the transplanted hair follicles start growing, they can be treated and styled just like your natural hair. There is no need for special shampoos, medications, or extensive maintenance routines. You can wash, cut, style, and even color the transplanted hair as desired.

4.Cost-Effective in the Long Run:

While the upfront cost of a hair transplant may seem significant, it is a long-term investment. Unlike temporary solutions like wigs, hairpieces, or ongoing hair loss medications, a hair transplant offers a permanent solution, eliminating the need for continuous expenses in the future.

5.Natural Hair Growth:

The transplanted hair grows naturally from the follicles, allowing you to achieve a consistent hair texture, thickness, and color that matches your existing hair.

6.No Donor Hair Limitations:

Hair transplant procedures utilize your own hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp. As long as you have sufficient donor hair, there are usually no limitations on the number of grafts that can be transplanted, allowing for a comprehensive restoration if desired.

7.Improved Self-Confidence:

Hair loss can significantly impact an individual’s self-esteem and confidence. By restoring a fuller head of hair, hair transplant surgery can boost self-confidence, improve self-image, and enhance overall quality of life.

6.Itching and Discomfort

7.Numbness or Tingling:

It’s important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon who can assess your individual risks and provide you with detailed information about the potential complications associated with the procedure. Adhering to pre- and post-operative instructions and following proper aftercare can help minimize these risks and promote successful healing.

CAN WOMEN UNDERGO HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?

Yes, women can undergo hair transplant surgery. Hair loss or thinning hair can affect women as well, and hair transplant procedures can be a viable option for them. However, it’s important to note that the causes and patterns of hair loss in women may differ from those in men.

Female hair loss can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, certain medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. Before considering a hair transplant, it is essential for women to undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause of their hair loss and to explore potential non-surgical treatment options.

In some cases, women may be better suited for non-surgical treatments, such as medications, topical solutions, laser therapy, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, depending on the cause and extent of their hair loss. These treatments can help slow down hair loss, stimulate hair growth, and improve overall hair health.

However, if non-surgical options are not effective or if the hair loss is extensive, hair transplant surgery can be considered. The transplantation methods used for women are typically similar to those used for men, such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The surgeon will evaluate the donor area, discuss the expected outcomes, and plan the transplantation accordingly.

It’s important for women to consult with a qualified hair transplant specialist who has experience in treating female hair loss. They can provide personalized advice, assess candidacy, discuss the potential risks and benefits, and help determine the most suitable treatment approach for achieving desired results.

WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE OF HAIR TRANSPLANT?
