Hair transplantation or Hair transplant is the procedure through which individual hair follicles are transplanted from a part of the body to another which is balding. The site from where the hair is taken, is the donor site and where transplanted is the recipient site. Besides scalp hair, the procedure can also be performed to restore hair of beard, mustache, eyebrows, eyelashes etc.
Medical conditions: Heredity, male pattern baldness, anemia, hypothyroidism, Vitamin B deficiency, autoimmune-related hair loss, polycystic ovary syndrome, trichotillomania and such other medical conditions can lead to hair loss.
| Surgery Time | Depends on the number of follicles |
|---|---|
| Anesthesia Type | Local Anesthesia |
| Hospitalization | Outpatient |
| Stitch Removal | Stitches of donor site either get dissolved or can be removed after 10 days |
| Initial Recovery Time | No downtime, normal activities can be resumed the same day |
The procedure is generally indicated in the following conditions:
The 3 main hair transplant methods are:
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In this procedure, a strip of tissue with hair is removed and the hair follicles from it are implanted in areas that have scanty hair.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this procedure, a small punch is used to remove individual hair follicles. They are then implanted in the scalp using a fine needle point instrument. One of the most popular hair transplant methods, it has a distinct advantage over FUT – it does not cause any scarring.
Direct Hair Implant (DHI): DHI is the most advanced hair transplant method. This treatment is a painless procedure that is performed using precise micro-surgical tools. The advantage of DHI is that each hair follicle is placed at a specific depth and angle which provides absolutely natural results along with maximum hair density.
The procedure involves taking a strip of skin along with the hair follicles from the donor area (back or side of the scalp of the patient) and cutting them in single or multiple sets of grafts.
When grafts are taken, your surgeon may periodically inject small amounts of saline solution into the scalp to maintain proper skin strength.
The donor site holes may be closed with stitches-for punch grafts, a single stitch may close each punch site; for other types of grafts, a small, straight-line scar will result. The stitches are usually concealed with the surrounding hair.
There is no recovery time/downtime necessary after hair transplantation surgery. Stitches of the donor site either get dissolved or can be removed after 10 days by any doctor near your place. The crust sheds off on its own gradually somewhere between 3-4 weeks.
Most transplanted hair usually shed in about 3 weeks but the roots remain alive and active under the skin and the new hair grows from them in 3-4 months.
Hair transplant is one of those procedures that have dramatic results. One can expect to have thick hair at the balding areas within 8-12 months after the procedure, which is permanent.
