The Technical Side Of Hair Transplant Surgery. Once baldness sets in, topical ointments provide ‘tactical’ support…reducing the rate of hair loss by interfering with hair growth metabolic processes. However, when your hair drops out, you need ‘strategic’ support, which is where hair transplant surgery steps up. Here’s what happens, in a nutshell. You’ll receive local anesthetic in order to minimize discomfort. First, your hair transplant surgeon assesses your hair health…inspects the ‘donor’ hair site areas, typically at the back and sides of your head. Hair follicles are counted, their relative size and growth characteristics plotted. Next, your doctor looks at the surgical site skin, checking for skin health. ‘Donor’ hair follicles… usually in groups of 1 to 5 or more hair follicles in a cluster …are carefully excised from the back of your head. Small incisions are made in your scalp bald area, where the ‘donor’ hair follicles are carefully inserted. Suture are inserted to close donor sites and your hair transplant site.
Advantages Of Multi-Hair ‘Follicular’ Unit Hair Transplant. You may not realize but your remaining hair… at the back and sides… exists and hasn’t fallen out because these hair follicles resist the break-down created by DHT testosterone levels decreasing. Result? These ‘survivors’ make the ideal hair transplant follicles. Also, ‘harvesting’ hairs in ‘follicular’ groups of 1 to 5 hairs means that this same group is organically ‘linked’, and you’ll get a much more natural look as a result of keeping this hair follicle cluster intact.
Will Your Results Hold. Yes and no. Initially, don’t be surprised if your hair transplant surgery seems a failure…yes most of your new hair will fall out… but that’s a factor of surgical shock and attrition. What happens next is that your healthy transplant hair follicles will begin to grow… in a number of months you’ll see remarkable results and a huge improvement in your appearance.
Hair Transplant Doctor Selection. Use online or local directories to initially identify the top two or three hair transplant surgeons in your area. Set up interviews. Get a detailed cost estimate, along with patient referrals in order to confirm “customer satisfaction”. Also, make background checks with your State medical licensing board in order to verify that your hair transplant doctor candidates are in good standing.Copyright 2005 - 2008 Beauty2morrow.com
