Hair Transplant / Restoration
Hair loss and hair fall are two different things. While the former is a serious concern for most of the people, the latter can be handled well without any problems. Hair fall is a regular phenomenon but hair loss can happen due to aging, due to family history of baldness and due to a change in the hormone patterns in the body. The badness becomes more as the hair loss becomes more severe. Hair replacement can prove to be of great help in such a situation. The process is also called hair restoration or hair transplant.
The process
On the sides and back of the scalp, there is non-miniaturized hair. In the hair restoration process, the hair is moved to the top of the head. This is done surgically with the help of a skin graft. There is a permanent horseshoe area on the scalp and the hair in this part is programmed in a manner that they grow for a lifetime. When the hair on this area is transplanted to some other part, it still continues to grow. With the help of this hair, other areas on the head are covered.
Some people may need a hairline recreation and some might have to go in for deeper and extensive restoration or replacement. Hair transplant can be done on the scalp and also on areas like the eyebrows. Both men and women can go for it.
How is the procedure performed?
The person to undergo this treatment is given local anesthesia. A strip of skin is taken from between the ears and the hair grafts to be donated are taken from this. The skin is not taken as a whole graft but is divided into a number of grafts. Every graft contains one to three hair with their follicular units. Pin pinch like slits are created on the area where the transplant has to be done. The grafts are then placed into the site. After three to four months of the transplant, the hair transplanted begins to grow back and continue growing for the rest of your life.
What happens after the surgery?
Sutures are placed on the back of the head after the surgery and are removed after 7 days. The patient can get back to his work after about three to four days of the surgery. It is advised that the person should not take up any physical activity or any type of exercise. This is because it can lead to some pressure on the head. The procedure is safe and should only be done by expert hair transplant professionals.
