How Hair transplant can help?
After losing a noticeable amount of hair people often look for remedies to control hair loss but till now nothing seems successful. Hair transplantation seems to be the only permanent solution for hair loss which once performed judiciously could stay for life long.
People often have lack of idea regarding hair transplant procedure and have unrealistic expectations from it. Hair transplantation is defined as restoration of hair which involves shifting of hair from back and side of the head (donor area) to the recipient area. It is absolutely a restoration procedure and not a regeneration procedure. If anyone is facing any kind of baldness or wish to change their hairline pattern for aesthetic purposes could undergo hair transplantation procedure after assessing their feasibility for the procedure by consultant doctors.
The basic procedure of hair transplantation includes graft harvesting from the donor area followed by segregation of grafts and then implantation of grafts at the recipient area.
Graft harvesting could be done by 2 primary methods:
- FUT Hair transplant (Follicular unit transplantation or strip technique): It contains the extraction of slim part of the scalp in strip form followed by splitting follicular grafts under high magnification and then implantation of grafts at recipient area. An average of 3000-3500 grafts can be extracted.
- FUE Hair traHair Loss: How Hair Transplant Can Help?
- nsplant (Follicular unit extraction): This method includes the extraction of individual ‘follicular units’ with the assistance of manual or motorized surgical device followed by implantation of graft at recipient area. An average of 2000-2500 grafts can be extracted.
The choice of technique depends on Norwood’s classification of extent of hair loss, age of the patient, quality and quantity of your available donor hair and area of baldness. The choice of technique preferred should be made judiciously for best outcome of hair transplant and long term benefits of the patients. Nowadays, latest techniques like combination of FUT and FUE are performed for extensive male pattern baldness cases. Combination technique is preferred when large number of grafts (>4000 grafts) are required as cannot be performed by either method alone.
Hair transplant could be a life changing experience for you if performed by right surgeon. Hence, for hair transplant to be successful it is mandatory to research for a suitable surgeon who has expertise and excellence in this field.
