Are you facing uncomfortable social situations because of baldness? Go for hair transplant treatment performed at Inform Clinics, best hair transplantation clinic in Hyderabad to avoid hiding it!
Nowadays, thinning or balding of their head has become a common concern of both men and women which may even progress to other hairy body parts. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure wherein small pieces of hair-bearing grafts from a donor site (usually back or sides of the head and sometimes other body areas) are taken and relocated to the recipient site (bald or thinning areas) of the scalp. It is the best permanent hair restoration method that is more successful than other over-the-counter hair restoration products.
Does hair transplant work for everyone?
Hair transplant surgery is only successful for people who wish to restore their natural hair growth and achieve a head full of thick, healthy hair by adding hair to the balding or thinning sections of the scalp. It is also preferred for individuals who lost their hair after a head injury. As hair transplants are done by using the existing hair of the patient, it is not effective for people with:
- widespread thinning and baldness
- hair loss caused due to use of certain medications or chemotherapy
- thick scars formed on the scalp after an injury.
If one want to know if they are an ideal candidate for hair transplantation they can consult Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, best hair transplantation surgeon in Hyderabad at Inform Clinics.
What are the different techniques of hair restoration by hair transplant?
There are two main procedures involved in hair transplant surgery:
- Follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) method- It is also referred to as the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) technique. In this procedure, first, the surgeon strips out a piece of the scalp of about 6-10 inches long from the donor site using a scalpel. The donor site is then closed with stitches. Simultaneously, the scalp strip is split into tiny fragments by using a scalpel with precision such that there is one hair per graft. Next, tiny holes are created in the recipient area with a sterile needle or blade, and into these punctured holes, the grafts are placed one by one. Lastly, the surgical sites are covered in gauze and bandages.
The number of grafts specifically received by the patient depends upon different factors like hair quality, hair type, size of the transplant site, and hair color.
- Follicular unit extraction (FUE) method- This procedure involves the removal of individual hair follicles out of the scalp skin using a micro punch tool. Usually, tiny marks are left behind in the area where hair follicles are extracted. The later part of the procedure is the same as that of the other method involving the insertion of hair follicles at the recipient site.
- Robotic Hair Transplantation- HARRTS robotic hair transplant technology is an advanced and effective hair transplant method, is also performed at Inform Clinics. This treatment is done through a painless robotic mechanism, where the micro hair grafts are implanted into the target area. This procedure involves the administration of local anesthesia to ease the discomfort. Robotic hair transplant is a complex procedure and hence requires expert application.
The hair transplant cost in Hyderabad depends on several factors like the type of technique performed, surgeon experience, and number of grafts transplanted.
What to expect during recovery from hair transplantation?
Every patient feels differently after having a hair transplant as it all depends upon the complexity and the extent of the procedure which is performed. If the patient experiences any excessive tightness, aching, or throbbing post-surgery, it can all be alleviated by prescribed pain medications. The bandages are only removed after a day of the surgery and stitches can be taken off after a week or 10 days. If there is any swelling, bruising, or drainage after surgery it must be discussed with the surgeon. Within two days, the hair can be gently washed.
The patient is advised not to go for vigorous exercise and contact sports for at least three weeks as it may damage the transplant site and cause it to bleed. In some cases, sexual activity is also advised to be avoided for 10 days post-surgery. Follow-up visits must be scheduled after the surgery to ensure proper healing of the incision sites. There may be a need for touch-up procedures to get natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Most patients who had hair transplants report that their new hair falls out within 6 weeks of the surgery. Well, this is normal as well as temporary!
After the initial falling of hair, the hair growth resumes in another five to six weeks. A patient can expect to have growth of only half an inch per month.
