transplant feel free to contact us.
Q: I just starting to thin, when should
l have my first hair transplant?
It is best to wait until at least twenty-five before considering
hair transplant surgery. It is best to wait until you have
significant hair loss that is a cosmetic problem. A hair transplant
is not a hair loss prevention treatment. Some hair loss in the
temples is normal for a person in their mid- to late 20s as this
represents the progression to a normal mature adult hairline.
In general, only that has begun to
decrease in diameter and is weak already is shed after a hair
transplant. Healthy hair is unlikely to shed, but if it were to shed, it
should grow back
Yes,
hair transplant can be done into a scar tissue and the hair will grow in
scar tissue, but not quite as well as in normal tissue. The scar tissue
is not as elastic as normal tissue and the blood supply is less than in
normal tissue, so that area should not be transplanted as densely.
Grafts do not grow well in thickened scars
Q:
Should I have a haircut prior to my hair transplant day?
A:
For the hair transplant surgeon it is easier to work with shorter
cut hair in the area to be transplanted. A skilled surgeon can work
with short or long hair.
The advantage of having a short haircut
is that one has better visibility and therefore the procedure moves
along faster. When the amount of the grafts is larger the normal
session long hair may slow down the procedure. A short close hair
cut may not hide the “hide” the procedure for the duration of
healing.
Please note that a shaved head makes performing the hair transplant
more difficult. In a close or short haircut there is some existing
hair, the distribution and angle of the original hair is easy to
discern and this allows the new grafts to be placed in a direction
that follows the existing hair and in a distribution that
complements that hair.

Q: Are cosmetic products harmful to a
new transplanted hair?
Cosmetic
products may make it difficult to keep a newly transplanted area clean
right after hair transplant surgery. These products can be safely used
to reduce any redness or make the area appear fuller after a week
following hair transplant procedure, the scalp can be gently washed out
without disturbing the newly transplanted grafts
Q: Does very close insertion of grafts
possible?
In a hair transplant, very close insertion of hair graft called
dense packing has a risk. It could damage to the scalp and grafts
might pop. Very closely spaced grafts exposes the grafts to lack of
oxygen and trauma if re-insertion is needed. Only skilled hair
transplant surgeon should determine if dense packing could be done.
It is possible to use the same scar area.
Q: Is it possible to have a hair
transplant that is totally undetectable immediately following
surgery?
It is
possible only if your existing hair can cover the transplanted area.
Wounds are small but will be detectible for the first week. There may be
some swelling and some crusting and some residual redness
Q: Can hair be transplanted using
someone else hair?
A hair transplant between individuals can only be performed on
identical twins, with the same genetics. Otherwise, the
transplanted hair will be rejected.

The important
consideration for any patient is to receive the natural hairline coverage, virtually indistinguishable from the original
hairlines and
hair density desired within the budget allowed. The cost per graft will
depend on completion of evaluation if you are a good candidate for
hair transplants; what is a safe and effective range of the number
of grafts per procedure a patient can take. Many repeat the
procedure. Call for your FREE consultation with no-obligation to
see what results should be expected in your case and your exact
cost.
There are two most used
hair transplant methods in use today by the medical hair restoration
field.
- One hair transplant method is called "strip" method, or
"follicular unit" hair transplant. Using this method the hair transplant
surgeon removes a strip piece of skin from the donor area with hair,
most likely the back of the head. The strip is divided into follicular units, which are small
individual hair groupings of the hair & its root. Read
more on this hair transplantation procedure at
Hair Transplant Methods
-
Another hair transplant method is called "follicular unit
extraction" FUE in short. Here the hair transplant doctor
makes tiny incisions of 1mm or less
in the donor area of the scalp from which the follicular units
of hair are extracted and then implanted in balding areas.
No sutures are needed. With this hair transplant method expect to have a multiple very small scars at the donor area, back of the head or sides.
