Do hair transplants really work?
YES! YES! YES! When performed properly, hair grafts have a 98-100 percent survival rate.
Why
aren't the newly implanted grafts affected by normal hair loss?
Have you ever looked closely at a man with severe hair loss?
If so, you'll notice men with severe hair loss still retain their hair on the back (below the crown area) and the sides of his head.
This is because this region is totally resistant to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is the cause of 97 percent of all hair loss in
men. It is from this dht resistant region that your donor grafts will come from. When these dht resistant grafts are implanted into
your hair loss affected region, they maintain their resistance to dht. However, you must be sure to strictly follow our hair transplant
recovery instructions.
Are there risks associated with hair transplant surgery?
Hair transplant procedures are performed
as an out-patient surgery in our Medical Facility under local anesthesia. Although a commonly safe procedure with minimal complications,
as with any surgery, there are risks. These risks, although rare, will be discussed prior to your procedure. The most common one is
a slight rush for about 10 minutes or so do to the anesthesia makeup, but this is temporary and well-tolerated. Some patients experience
this and some don’t.
What patient preparation is needed prior to surgery?
Prior to any hair transplant surgery with our
Medical Facility, a pre-operative, common blood tests for several variables are requested by us. These can be performed by your own
Doctor or blood testing centers in your own home town and mailed or faxed to our office. Please contact our office for more information
about the requested blood test you will need. You will also need to follow several instructions that our Director of Medical Procedures
and Surgical Operations, Mr. Siegel, will go over with you. For your convenience, these instructions have also been posted on our
Hair Transplant Recovery page.
Is the procedure painful?
Hair transplant procedures are performed in a Doctor's office under
local anesthesia. The only time our patients may feel a little pain or discomfort is when the anesthesia is administered in the donor
area and the recipient area, which only takes a few minutes. Any discomfort that patients may experience is well tolerated by both
are male and female patients. After that, our patients have a variety of movies to choose from and watch as our Medical Team implants
their grafts.
Are lasers used during the procedure?
We briefly experimented with the use of lasers to assist in hair transplant
surgery a number of years ago but found them to be highly inferior to our tried and true method. What happened was this: when we used
the laser to make the apertures (where the new grafts are implanted) it was so hot it cauterized the aperture and cut off the flow
of blood. Then a hole still had to be punched for blood flow. The last thing a newly implanted graft needs is a cutoff of blood flow.
When we experimented with lasers, we had to go back and rework the aperture to create needed blood flow for the implanted grafts.
In our clinical opinion, lasers are inferior and we do not use them during our procedures. Lasers are a great thing to be used for
other types of procedures, but not for hair transplants. Lots of centers use this as a new sales tool to try to get you to do your
procedure with them.
What happens after the procedure?
The transplanted hair will develop a tiny dot scab as it heals and
will look like little slits or bumps. These tiny dot scabs will then fall off and shed the newly implanted hair in 7-14 days. Yes,
the newly implanted hair will normally come off with the scab, but don't worry. The newly implanted grafts will then fall under your
regular hair growth cycle and your new hair will start to grow out in 3-4 months, but according to medical text book it will take
4-6 months. We have seen diabetics take a little longer to come out because they heal a little slower. It just depends on how fast
your body normally heals. Your new hair will then grow at the rate of 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month.
Will I need time off from work?
Since
most of our patients come from all over the world, many of them fly or commute into Fort Lauderdale the day before or the morning
of their surgery and then return home hours after their surgery. You can return to work the following day if your schedule calls for
it.
Can you give me hair like Brad Pitt's?
Hair transplant surgery only redistributes your “own” existing dht resistant
hair to hair loss affected areas. We cannot give you hair like a movie star or make your hair line like it was at 18. However, we
can give you back your own hair in a pattern that is natural looking, undetectable, more youthful and appealing to everyone and to
you every time you look in the mirror.
