HAIR TRANSPLANTS
Hair transplants
are medical hair restoration surgical procedures. Hair transplants surgery can improve your appearance, but the results won't
necessarily measure up to your expectation. Discuss your ideals and
expectations with with your doctor who will perform the hair transplants
surgery. Note that if you have diagnosed with alopecia areata, you are not a candidate to hair
transplants. Hair Transplants candidate must have healthy hair growth at the
back and sides of the head to serve as donor areas for the hair transplantation.
Today, most medical hair transplant surgeons are using "follicular
unit transplantation"- in groups of 1, 2, 3 of hair for a more natural
appearance. Strips of hair
including skin and its roots are taken from the donor area of the back and sides
of the head where the hair is dense to the balding areas. A strip of scalp
tissue that is removed from the donor area usually runs 1/2" to 1" wide and 4-5"
long. The open area
from where the initial strip was taken is stitched
together so that it can heal. The doctor divides the strip of scalp
tissue with the hair into individual grafts containing 1-2 hair, called
micro-grafts, or
follicular units. Thousands of such
grafts are needed to cover a small area of the hair transplants.
For doing a proper hair transplant session, the donor area of the hair graft has to be with very thick full hair so
after hair is removed from this area it will not be noticeable. Surgeons
have to be cautious about how close together they place the grafts of hair to
ensure proper hair nourishment. Permanent scarring of bald
strips will be left in this back hair area, which is covered by dense hair. The
size of the resulting donor scar may vary according to the skills of the
individual physician. Follow-up hair-transplants are
often needed to achieve the desired density of hair in the balding area. It
takes 4 to 6 months after the hair transplant surgery for new hair to grow. Skilled doctors can perform natural
looking hair-transplants. Check the
doctor’s reputation of his past hair transplants experience.

 Your are an excellent
candidate for hair-transplants if you are in the beginning stages of male-pattern baldness

hair transplant procedures as a hair treatment for hair loss.

operation and no one can not stop hair loss and its the natural progression.

risk of bleeding, scarring or infection. Also, the results can be
disappointing, if the hair is thin, there is an obvious hairline where the hair
was implanted, wild hair in the crown area, or a fuzzy re-growth etc.

scalp reduction or flaps surgery. This surgical hair restoration treatment involve taking the skin with the hair and pulling it
together to cover the balding area. The results are not attractive, and hair replacement or wig will be a necessity
