Hair Transplant: Achieving Natural Hair Restoration

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp (donor site) to another part (recipient site) that is bald or has thinning hair. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and it can take several hours depending on the size of the area being transplanted.

There are two main types of hair transplant: Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

2.1 Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the donor site, usually the back or sides of the scalp, and then dissecting it into individual follicular units. The units are then transplanted into the recipient site. FUT leaves a linear scar at the donor site, which can be hidden by hair.

2.2 Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE involves removing individual follicular units directly from the donor site using a punch tool. The units are then transplanted into the recipient site. FUE leaves small, round scars that are less noticeable than FUT scars.

Hair transplant works by relocating healthy hair follicles from the donor site to the recipient site. The transplanted hair follicles continue to grow hair in their new location. The transplanted hair is usually permanent, as it is resistant to the hormone responsible for hair loss, called DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

Preparing for Hair Transplant Surgery

Before the surgery, you will have a consultation with the surgeon to discuss your goals, expectations, and medical history. You may be asked to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, that could increase the risk of bleeding during the surgery. You may also be advised to avoid alcohol and smoking before the surgery.

The hair transplant procedure usually takes several hours and is performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon will remove hair follicles

from the donor site using either the FUT or FUE method, as discussed in section 2. The recipient site is then prepared by making tiny incisions or holes using a scalpel or needle. The surgeon will then carefully transplant the hair follicles into the recipient site, ensuring that they are placed at the correct angle and direction to ensure a natural-looking result.

The number of hair follicles transplanted will depend on the extent of the hair loss and the size of the recipient site. In some cases, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired result.

After the surgery, you may experience some swelling, redness, and mild pain in the donor and recipient sites. You will be given instructions on how to care for your scalp and hair, which may include washing your hair with a gentle shampoo and avoiding strenuous activities or wearing tight hats for several days.

Most people are able to return to work and resume normal activities within a week after the surgery, although it may take several months for the transplanted hair to grow and blend in with the surrounding hair.
