What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is an invasive procedure to restore lost hair in men, women, or transgender. It is performed by doctors that involve moving or grafting the bald-resistant hair from one part of the scalp to another. The hair is usually taken from the side or back of the head and transplanted to the thinning or balding sections on top of the head or to the receding hairline. It is carried out under local anesthesia. Its results are so natural that not even a hair stylist or barber could tell that the person has undergone hair transplantation.

Hair Transplantation in Patna & Bihar Sharif

Looks matter a lot, just like overall health. A fuller head of hair makes one's appearance aesthetically pleasing and boosts his/her self-confidence and self-esteem. However, some people are bald or have thinning hair which is a bothering concern. They suffer from hair loss due to various reasons, including genetics, stress, an underlying illness, hormonal imbalance, diet, and certain medications. Thankfully, in the present time, there is a permanent solution to hair loss- a hair transplant!

People who are experiencing hair loss and are hiding their heads due to balding with hats and wigs can opt for hair transplant surgery in Patna & Bihar Sharif, at Ashwini Cosmetic Hospital.

Different Types of Hair Transplants

Hair transplants are of two types based on the coverage needed:

  • Slit grafts: These are linear or rectangular-shaped grafts containing anywhere from 4-15 hair follicles per graft. They are taken by the traditional hair transplant technique or the Strip method.
  • Micro grafts (or punch type grafts): These are circular-shaped, very tiny grafts containing a single follicular unit, either of one or 2-3 hair follicles. They are removed from the scalp by the advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique.
What to Expect During the Hair Transplant Procedure?

Before treatment: During the consultation, the doctor at Ashwini Cosmetic Hospital will carry out a thorough scalp examination. To find the cause of hair loss, a blood test may be asked from the client. In addition, some patients may need to undergo a scalp biopsy.

On the day of the hair transplant surgery, the patient must come with a clean scalp by washing it with mild shampoo. Do not wear any wig, hair styling products, or hair accessories.

During a Hair transplant

The surgery commences with a thorough cleaning of the scalp followed by the administration of local anesthesia via a small needle in the donor area of the head.

Next, the surgeon obtains hair follicles for hair transplantation by either of the two hair follicles removal techniques:

1. Follicular Unit Transplantation or Strip Surgery: In this hair transplant method, the surgeon makes use of a scalpel to cut out a strip of skin from the back or side of the head. A linear incision of several inches long is made in the donor site of the patient. Later, this cut is closed with stitches. The harvested portion of the scalp is then dissected into small sections (called follicular units) using a sharp surgical knife under the magnifying lens of a microscope.

2. Follicular Unit Extraction: In this hair transplant approach, the surgeon makes use of a micro punch tool to cut out hair follicles directly from the donor site. This micro punch tool makes around a hundred to a thousand tiny punch incisions.

Once the donor hair follicles are collected, the surgeon prepares the recipient site of the scalp for hair transplant. A tiny blade or needle is used to make multiple tiny incisions or holes in the bald or thinning areas of the scalp. Next, the surgeon gently places the harvested hair follicles one by one into each hole. In one session about, hundreds or even thousands of hair are transplanted by the surgeon. Lastly, the scalp is covered with sterile gauze, bandage, or dressings that must not be taken out until permitted by the surgeon.

The patient can expect to have around 3 to 4 hair transplant sessions to get the desired results. These sessions are held after a gap of several months to allow every transplanted hair to heal fully.

What is the Pre and Post-treatment care required after Hair Transplant?

Following the hair transplant surgery, the scalp may feel sore. To reduce pain and swelling, the surgeon prescribes the patient pain medications and anti-inflammatory medications. The patient must also take a complete course of prescribed antibiotics to reduce the risk of scalp infection after the surgery. Most people resume their work and normal life within several days of the surgery. After 2 to 3 days of the operation, the transplanted hair typically falls out to make way for new hair growth. Most people see the new hair growth within 8 to 12 months of the surgery.

Pre-treatment care

 

  • Avoid the intake of anti-inflammatory medications.
  • Do not consume alcohol, and smoking is prohibited during this time.
  • Avoid consumption of any steroids or any other blood thinners.
  • A day before the surgery, avoid the use of any hair gel, spray, or other styling products and take adequate sleep.
  • On the day of surgery, avoid too much caffeine and have a light diet.
Post-treatment care

 

  • Keep the incision sites clean.
  • Do not use a towel to dry the hair.
  • Do not get engaged in strenuous activities or exercise for at least a couple of weeks.
  • Take prescribed medications on a timely basis.
  • Wash scalp with shampoo, conditioner, and lotion prescribed by a doctor for at least two weeks after treatment.
  • Avoid sun exposure and heat for three weeks’ post-surgery.
  • Do not indulge in swimming until fully recovered from the surgery.
What are the Benefits Offered by Hair Transplant Surgery?

Benefits of hair transplant:

  • The results are natural-looking and last for a lifetime.
  • It eliminates hair-related concerns.
  • The new hair can be easily managed as it is similar to the existing natural hair. There is no need for special hair care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Hair transplantation is performed on a numb scalp by a skilled surgeon, so there is very little pain or no pain during the surgery. Some discomfort can be expected when anesthesia is being injected. However, just like any other post-operative recovery, the patient will have some pain or discomfort at the incision sites once the anesthesia effect wears off.

When compared to other alternative hair restoration treatments or a hair piece, a hair transplant is more expensive. But, consider this surgery a good investment in your future happiness as the results are relatively immediate, and the transplanted hair grows well in a natural growth pattern in the recipient site for the rest of your life. The cost of the hair transplant can be discussed with the surgeon during the consultation. There are many factors on which the cost will depend, including the number of sessions required, the surgeon's expertise, the technique used, and the locality.

The number of hair transplant sessions or its duration depends upon:

  • the area of the scalp to be covered
  • the density of the hair that one desires
  • the individual characteristics of the patient like hair type (coarse or fine)
  • the number and size of grafts used, and
  • skill of the doctor.

The success of hair transplant surgery mainly depends upon the skill level of the doctor the patient chooses. A doctor who is highly skilled and has lot many years of experience in performing hair transplant techniques will surely provide more successful hair transplants.

One can expect to undergo hair transplantation lasting for about 10-12 hours, depending upon the size and complexity of the case. Usually, it takes anywhere between 4 to 8 hours. If one needs a large amount of hair transplantation, one may be asked to come for a few hours the next day.

The final desirable results of hair transplant become apparent usually within 12 months. During this time, the hair restoration surgeon will meet you for a follow-up session to assess and track the progress of the surgery. Just like most patients, you might also get evident hair growth within 4 to 6 months of the surgery. 

Grafts are often referred to as follicular units, and these are microscopic bundles of hair consisting of one to four hair follicles. They help in the formation of new hair strands and help overcome baldness.

The majority of individuals only need a single hair transplant treatment. Depending on the severity of hair loss, there are certain instances in which additional operations may be necessary to reach the patient's desired outcome.

As a consequence of administering a local anesthetic, hair transplant surgery is painless. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe medicine for use following the operation. The majority of individuals do not need post-procedure medication. 

If one wants to transform their appearance and want to achieve a head full of hair, they can opt for hair transplant or hair restoration surgery in Patna & Bihar Sharif at Ashwini Cosmetic Hospital.
