HOME   Hair Transplantation Hair transplantation is a surgical method in which a physician redistributes hairs from an area of thick growth to bald areas of head . Most hair transplants are usually performed in an office setting under local anesthesia. Only minimal pain should be expected. After thoroughly cleaning of e scalp, small needles are used to numb an area of normal hair growth on the back of the scalp. A portion of the hairy scalp is then removed with a scalpel and set aside while the surgeon sews the cut scalp closed. After the scalp is sewn closed, small groups of hairs, or individual hairs, are separated out from the removed scalp using a magnifying lens and sharp blade. Head area that will receive these healthy hairs, usually the front of the scalp, is then cleaned and numbed with additional small needles if required .Finally, tiny holes are made in the front of the scalp and healthy hairs are delicately placed in the holes. During a single treatment session, many hundreds or even thousands of hairs may be transplanted and sessions are repeated People who are concerned about their balding, hair transplantation can significantly improve their appearance and self confidence and self esteem Realistic expectations are important, however. This is very crucial to important to remember that hair still cannot be created; it can only be redistributed from the back of the scalp to the front. Most patients undergoing hair transplantation have traditional male or female pattern baldness, with hair loss on the front or top of the scalp. It is very important that patients must still have thick hair on the back or sides of the scalp, or there may not be enough hair follicles to move. In rare cases, patients with hair loss from lupus, injuries, or other medical problems might be treated with hair transplantation. Patients planning to go hair transplantation should be otherwise relatively healthy, or surgery is less likely to be safe and successful. Always better to discuss your risks and options with your physician before undergoing any elective surgery. As with any surgical procedure, risks exists with Hair Implantation . The most common complications of hair transplantation includes bleeding, infection, and scarring. Though less dangerous, there is a possibility that the transplanted hair won't look as good as you had desired. Older techniques often resulted in unnatural appearing tufts of new hair growth. With modern techniques, this complication could be avoided. Most modern hair transplants result in excellent hair growth within several months after the procedure. Often, however, more than one treatment session is needed to create the best-looking results. The replaced hairs are usually permanent, and no long-term care is necessary. During the recovery period after surgery, the scalp is often very tender. Strong pain medications taken by mouth may be necessary for several days. A bulky surgical dressing, or sometimes a smaller dressing protected by a baseball cap, must be worn for at least a day or two. Some surgeons may also recommend several days of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs following surgery. After this very brief recovery period, no special treatment is needed.
