Frequently asked question #1 – What to expect from the result of the hair transplant?

In hair restoration surgery, one generally wants the result to look as natural as possible, and another wish of patients is that the results don’t look obvious, or other people can’t tell that they had restoration surgery. capillary. At the end of the day, everyone wants to make it look undetectable.

With advances in technology and the surgeon’s skills and experience, it has become quite possible to achieve this goal. Several points must be taken into account so that the results of the surgery do not seem obvious and the hair looks natural. When we consider the donor area scars, the two procedures used for extraction namely FUT and FUE are also important.

• In the FUT method, a strip of skin is removed and the cut is repaired with staples or sutures. An experienced surgeon uses the most effective closure techniques that make the scar almost invisible.

• In the FUE method, there are hardly any scars left on the donor and recipient areas as small holes are made in this method, which eventually heal within a few days.

After extracting the follicles, the experience, knowledge and aesthetic approach of the surgeon play a crucial role in restoring the natural appearance of the hairline. When making cuts and transplanting the follicles, the natural orientation of the hair must be considered so that the transplanted hair grows in the natural direction, or else the results will appear unacceptable to the eye.

Hair transplant clinics generally consider the characteristics and age of the patient, with the goal that the age-appropriate hairline and face is restored, and an unnatural-looking low hairline is not developed. Remember, if the surgeon has good experience, knowledge and follows the guidelines, then it is 100% possible to achieve a natural looking result from a hair transplant.

After receiving a hair transplant, hair growth is a complete process that you need to understand properly. Remember, hair restoration surgery is not just a procedure that is done today and starts showing results tomorrow.

Once the restoration process is complete, the grafts that have been harvested and transplanted into the bald area bear some impact, causing them to enter the resting stage. Due to this shock, the patient will witness temporary hair loss and should not be worried as this development is quite common after transplantation.

The rate of molting can be different in each case, and can range from a partial molt to a complete molt. This temporary shedding phase usually begins 3 to 4 weeks after surgery and can last for 2 to 3 months. The surgeon may prescribe some medications for this detachment procedure.

From the fourth month the development of the transplanted grafts begins. In the early stages, development may be poor, as the grafts may not all start to develop at the same time. This happens because the distribution of the development cycle is random and not all hairs are in the development phase at any given time.

Six months later, your hair begins to become thicker, stronger and longer. Full development is expected and is usually achieved 12 months after hair transplant surgery.
