What is Hair Transplant?
Hair Transplant is a procedure where hair on some part of the head where there is balding is taken and transplanted to the balding area by surgery. The transplanted hair is the one that is not genetically grown that is why it is not lost. Therefore most of the transplanted hair will grow for a lifetime. Because of this feature, hair transplantation is looked as a most effective surgery for hair loss. It’s considered as a permanent solution for hair loss. People go for hair transplantation as they don’t have to mess up with medications, oils, gels, laser treatment for treating hair loss. Hair after the surgery looks very natural. No one will be able to make out that you had undergone hair transplantation. If you’re sure to take up the surgery then be careful while choosing the clinic and the surgeon. There are number of surgeons and many clinics available these days but not all are experts. So make sure you undergo surgery under a well trained and expert surgeon. An expert surgeon can give you a very good mass and a natural looking hairline.
Types of Surgery
When you finally make up your mind to undergo surgery, discuss with the surgeon all the details about the surgery. Normally there are two types of surgery. Firstly, strip hair transplant method. This is also known as Follicular Unit Strip Surgery- FUSS. Secondly, Follicular Unit Extraction method for hair transplants. Well-known as FUE. Different surgeons use different methods.
In the first method, a thin strip of hair is taken out from the back of your scalp area. Then the splices are rooted in to the balding area. Most of the transplanted hair continues to grow through the patient’s lifetime. Sometimes, very minimal wounds may occur on the donor area. This will eventually be covered by growing hair. Second method is a new hair transplant technique. This consists of producing each individual hair follicle separately from the back and sides of the head. Then each hair is transplanted in to the area that is balding. No scalp cutting or deep surgery in this method. The wounds are less when compared to FUSS method. Time taken to heal is also very less as there won’t be any deep surgery.
Before going for the surgery, collect complete information about the surgery, the surgeon and also about the clinic. Don’t hurry and go for surgery without knowing complete details about the surgery. Take your time and do research about the surgery. Talk to the surgeon about the surgery you will be undergoing. Clear out all your doubts about hair transplantation. If possible discuss with the people who have already undergone surgery. They can give you clear picture of the surgery and also advice you in the right way.
