HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE

For the treatment of hair loss, hair transplantation is a surgical procedure which involves transferring hair grafts from donor areas such as from chest and nape to the balding or thinning area where you would like to grow new hair.

This is invasive method that is done with mild sedation and injected local anesthesia to numb the area. First surgeon cleans the scalp and numbs the area where hair are to be transplanted.  Then surgeon sews the scalp after removing the strip of scalp with the help of a scalpel. Then, the surgeons divides the strip of removed scalps into tiny grafts. The number and type of grafts used rely on the quality, type and color of the hair along with the size of area on which hair to be transplanted.

When grafts are prepared, the area where hair are to be transplanted is clean and numb by the surgeon. Next, the surgeons creates the holes with the help of scalpel or needle and place each graft in one of the holes gently. The entire procedure takes two to four hours depending upon the numbers of hair grafts being transplanted.

A surgical dressing will be given to you by the surgeon for two days. You may also require medications to relief pain, swelling, bruising and itching after experiencing the surgery. Post operative care is fundamental to ensure the fastest healing time to achieve the desired outcomes. Within two weeks after surgery, the transplanted hair will shed. It is normal and expected after the hair transplant surgery. Within a few months you will start noticing growth of new hair.
