What is Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hair transplant is a popular surgical technique that involves the redistribution of hair from one part of the body to another. This procedure is typically used to address hair loss or baldness in specific areas of the scalp, but it can also be used to restore hair in other parts of the body.

The most common type of hair transplant is called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which involves removing individual hair grafts from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient site. This method is less invasive and leaves minimal scarring compared to other hair transplant techniques.

The cost of a hair transplant can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the number of grafts required. However, it is generally considered to be a costly procedure.

Hair growth after a hair transplant typically occurs gradually over several months. It may take up to a year to see the full results.

The donor area, which is the site where the hair grafts are harvested, is typically the occipital (back of the head) region. However, in some cases, hair grafts may also be taken from the chest, axillary, or pubic areas.

Overall, hair transplant surgery can be an effective solution for hair loss, but it is important to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits before undergoing the procedure.

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.
