A hair transplant is the transference of hair grafts from a donor region to another region affected by normal male pattern hair loss
or female pattern hair loss.
This is done by removing a strip of hair bearing scalp from the back or sides of the head where
hair growth is permanent and not affected by Dihydrotestosterone. (The most common donor area is from the back instead of the sides).
Physicians that use the sides above the ears first for donor area are taking a chance of cutting one of your main arteries and not
a very wise decision.
This strip of hair bearing scalp can vary greatly in size but as just an example: can measure 1-2 cm wide
and 8 or more cm long. After it is removed, the doctor will suture this donor area back together with one running suture. This suture
will need to be removed in 10 days and not longer than 14 days. In most cases, the hair transplant scar that is left behind will be
very thin like a cat scratch and will fade over time. If you wear your hair a 1/8 inch or more in the back, you will have no problem
in covering it up.
Our Medical Facility cautions that some hair transplant clinics cut too deep when they extract the donor strip
for hair grafts causing you more pain afterwards in healing. "You have to take special care to not go too deep. You only need to go
as deep as the dermis layer, to the top edge of the fat layer underneath”.
Many hair transplant clinics and surgeons go past
the hair bulb, dermis and into the fat layer and below when harvesting the donor scalp. "This causes more pain in the first week of
healing and takes longer for the feeling and nerves to bounce back”.
"We only go as deep as we have to and this results in faster
healing time, less discomfort and the temporary numbness bounces back faster”.
While the Physician is suturing your donor area,
another Doctor or Medical Staff member then divides the hair bearing donor scalp into the desired size hair grafts. Our implant professionals
will "dissect" these grafts into follicular units with the aid of microscopic like "goggles" under extremely powerful lights built
for surgery rooms.
Depending on your particular pattern of hair loss and the mutually agreed upon approach to giving you the
best hair transplant results, these hair grafts can vary in size but include:
Follicular Units (most common), micro 1-2 haired
units, mini 3-5 haired units and sometimes even 6-9 haired maxi size grafts for density if desired. Never the old style plugs that
contained 12-18 hairs per cylinder.
Once divided into follicular units or larger hair grafts, a Doctor or Physicians Assistant
will prepare the recipient area of your hair loss affected region for graft implantation. Tiny incisions are made with a "micro needle”
in the recipient area. This is where your scalp will “receive” your new hair for a lifetime.
This is not as easy to do as it
sounds. Great care and Artistic approach must go into choosing where to make these apertures (tiny slits which will receive the new
hair grafts). The hairline must be recreated to appear natural with grafts staggered so as not to appear to form a uniform line. Minimal
space will be left between apertures to allow enough blood to flow to each unit and allow room for future hair implantations that
will give your hair even more "density". Should you loose anymore of your natural hair due to aging.
Often, a hair implantation
team will work together - one making the recipient incision while the others implant your new grafts.
Once your hair implant
procedure is finished, your Doctor will advise you on how to take care of your newly implanted grafts over the next few days. Keep
in mind, in all cases of hair transplants, the new grafts will form a "scab" as they heal. Eventually, in 7-14 days, these scabs will
heal and then these grafts will actually shed the old transplanted hair.
Yes, the newly transplanted hair will fall off with
the scab. Sometimes you may keep about 10% but this is not too common.
However, do not worry! In about 3-4 months, most common
time frame (Medical text book claims 4-6 months) and sometimes up to 12 months later depending on if you are diabetic or how fast
your body heals, your new and permanent hair will grow in its place forever.
We take great care in moving your existing hair
out of the way to get our micro needle down to your scalp for your new transplants. But, your hair may look a (little) thinner directly
after your surgery due to some of your longer hair getting nicked as the micro needle gets to the scalp to make a new aperture. This
hair will grow back to length immediately and be about a inch long in a few months. This hair doesn’t have to go though the 3-4 month
dormant cycle like the new transplants.
