What is Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hair transplant is a surgical technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body called the “donor site” {occipital/ chest/ axillary/ pubic area} and places it to a bald or balding part of the body known as the “recipient site” that has lost the hair follicles. Basically, a hair transplant surgery redistributes hair from one part to another part of the body.

There are a number of applications for hair transplant surgery, including:

• Androgenetic alopecia
• Eyebrow & Eyelash transplant
• Frontal hair line lowering or reconstruction (naturally high hairlines without an existing hair loss condition)
• Transplant into areas of Scars/ Post cancer reconstruction/ Cleft lip.
• Other areas of the face like a mustache or beard reconstruction.

Why does an individual require Hair Transplant?

Hair loss is a universally accepted condition that has been associated with severe depression, lowered self-esteem, and self-confidence. Although hair loss has been proved to be a combination of genes and hormones, there has been a multitude of other reasons for it too. Whatever the reason be, loss of scalp hair has a negative impact on an individual’s social life, especially in younger age patients. Lost hair in the scalp or cheeks due to trauma or scarring or surgery also causes a negative influence on a person’s life.

Hair transplant replaces this lost hair and improves an individual’s quality of life and increases self-esteem and confidence. We provide natural-looking results at our hair transplant clinic in Navi Mumbai. 

How is Hair Transplant Surgery performed?

The surgical procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. We perform the FUE technique. The follicular unit extraction method uses very small punches of about 0.9mm diameter to punch the hair follicles from the back part of the scalp called the occipital area. These follicles are genetically resistant to fall and would retain their memory when replaced in any other part of the scalp. These punched-out follicles are pulled off easily using the micro-instruments and are then placed in areas where the hair follicles are lost via small incisions. The implanted follicles are usually taken up by the body and in 6 months’ time, they grow like natural hair that can be styled or cut as per wish. 

What to expect after a Hair Transplant Surgery?

A head full of hair is what every individual desires to have. Unfortunately, today androgenetic alopecia affects more than 60 to 70% of the population at various ages. A hair transplant can bring back that lost hair from the scalp. Sometimes a patient who has undergone cancer surgery of his cheeks has lost all his beard and a hair transplant can camouflage this surgical area thereby improving the quality of life and his self-esteem. Our Hair Transplant Surgeon Dr. Arun Panda has performed over 1000 hair transplant procedures at our Hair Transplant Clinic in Navi Mumbai.
