Hair Loss Surgery

Your hair loss may be caused by hormone changes, heredity, or aging, either way it’s still gone.

The rule is the earlier baldness starts, the more severe it ends up being. Many men choose to have a hair loss surgery and transplants to give them the look they previously had. This is costly, but if your baldness was caused by an injury or burn, your insurance may cover it. This surgery has been performed for over thirty years and all surgeons who do hair transplants are certified for that procedure.

A surgeon can decide if hair loss surgery, a hair transplant, will give you the affect you want. You should think about the results and realize they may not be exactly the way you have it pictured. You will need to have healthy hair on the sides and in back for an effective hair transplant. The hair will be taken from this healthy hair and transplanted to the balding areas. Other factors will change the way your transplant looks, those are color, the texture, and if it is curly or straight. Someone with a little hair may not be a good candidate for hair transplant surgery.

Hair transplant surgery is normally safe, but as with all surgeries, there are risks to be considered. Infections or excessive bleeding, and some of the transplants may be rejected. If you have other medical problems such as high blood pressure, or you form excessive scars, you should discuss this with your doctor. The doctor will be able to decide if hair transplant surgery is an alternative for you.

A couple of techniques used for hair transplants, the punch graft which transplants about 10 to 15 hairs and the micro graft which contains 30 to 40 individual hairs are the most common transplant. The flap graft will cover larger areas and would involve the same amount of hairs as 350 or more punch grafts. These are for people who need more hair than a punch graft or micro graft will give.

If bandages were used after the surgery, they will be removed after one day. Two days after surgery, you can wash your hair with a gentle motion and a mild shampoo. And you should be able to take part in sports within three weeks.

The hair from the original graft will fall out within six weeks. This is normal and the hair will start new growth in the next four to six weeks. A touch up procedure may be needed after the first incisions heal to have a truer look. It also allows hair to be blended in with remaining hair and with the newer grafts. Your surgeon will control the extent of the touch up.

Men may choose to have a hair transplant for many reasons. It may be necessary because of burns or injuries, or he may need a more youthful look for a job promotion or to find a new job. Most men are happy with the results they have with hair transplants. You need to make the decision that will be right for you and your mental and physical health.
