Hair Transplantation
Introduction
If you suffer from hair loss, hair transplantation may be a suitable option for you. Many men choose this procedure when they start experiencing hair loss or baldness. The final results can change their lives.
Overview
Hair transplantation is one of the scalp hair transplant procedures. This procedure involves treating receding hairline (hair loss along the upper part of your forehead and temple).
The surgeon moves hair follicles from the back or side of the head to the top of the head or the front of the head.
This procedure is permanent, but there is a possibility that some hair follicles will not survive and a small number of them may fall out.
Benefits of hair transplantation surgery
There are many benefits of hair transplantation procedure, here are some of them :
• This procedure is low maintenance :
Although you’ll need to pay special attention to your surgeon’s advice in the first few weeks after your procedure to encourage a speedy recovery, hair transplants offer a low-maintenance solution to hair loss without the hassle.
• Increased confidence :
A transplant can increase hair volume and density to create a more youthful appearance, giving you a real confidence boost.
• This procedure can last forever:
Your newly transplanted hairs should continue to grow for a lifetime once completed.
• The results are natural:
Unlike wigs or extensions, which may not exactly match the texture and colour of your natural hair, hair transplant results look natural.
• It’s cost-efficient :
Hair transplantation is a more cost-effective option, as it only usually requires a one-off payment for the surgery.
prepare for hair transplantation surgery
When you decide to undergo a hair transplantation, if you are accustomed to taking vitamins and nutritional supplements, you must stop taking them two weeks before the operation, because they may thin the blood and make you bleed during the operation.
Also, alcohol of all kinds contains blood-thinning properties, so it should be avoided about two weeks before starting the procedure. Find a button-up shirt that you can wear after the procedure and have it ready to take with you to the clinic the next day.
steps of HAIR TRANSPLANTATION SURGERY
A hair transplantation includes the following steps:
Step 1-Anesthesia:
Local anesthesia is applied to the scalp.
Step 2-Harvesting:
There are two methods for harvesting hair follicles. The first method is follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS), where the surgeon removes a strip of skin covered with hair from the lower back part of the scalp. This area is considered suitable for donor hair follicles, because it is Less prone to hair loss. Small grafts of hair are dissected from this strip. The second method is bulbar unit extraction (FUE), where the surgeon takes individual grafts directly from the donor area using a small tool called a micro punch.
Step 3- Implantation:
After a surgeon harvests enough grafts, they use a small blade to make tiny incisions in the portion of your scalp that is bald or has thinning hair. The surgeon then plants a graft in each incision.
recovery after hair transplantation surgery
During your first two weeks after having a hair transplantation operation, the hair grafts will not be completely secure so be careful. You should cutting down on exercise during the first 2 weeks of recovery. This helps reduce the build up of sweat and dirt within the exposed areas.
After 1 to 5 days of surgery, any bandages can be removed but the recipient area and grafts should not be touched. That is because during this time your scalp will be at its most susceptible damage.
During this time swelling around the eyes or on the forehead may be noticeable so it’s important to try and reduce this where possible with the surgeon instructions on sleep and medication. After two weeks, the transplanted hair is expected to fall out. But not to worry, this is normal and it will start to grow back.
side effects of hair transplantation
The side effects of hair transplantation surgery are as follow:
• Swelling:
Some mild swelling may occur after hair transplantation procedure. This is normal.
• Bleeding:
If a graft is dislodged, the incision site might bleed. Should this happen, apply pressure to the area with a tissue.
• Numbness:
Some temporary numbness is inevitable. It is usually experienced around the donor area or graft sites. It generally lasts from three to 18 weeks.
• Thinning of Pre-Existing Hair:
Although rare, some pre-existing hair can thin following surgery. This is temporary and it will return to normal, full condition within a few months.
• Itching:
Some degree of itching is common with hair transplantation. It is rarely troublesome and lasts only a few days.
• Keloid Scarring:
Keloid scarring is an abnormal scar that grows beyond the boundary of the original site of a skin injury. It is a raised and ill-defined growth of skin in the area of damaged skin.

The duration of the surgery can vary based on the extent of hair loss. Typically, a session may last between 4 to 8 hours.
