Are you suffering from excessive hair loss, bald patches, or a receding hairline? If so, you are one of many people who are concerned about how their hair looks. Excessive hair loss can lead to a weak-looking, thinned, or patchy hair look and damage people’s self-esteem.
This is why people have been looking for a solution to these problems. At early stages, it is possible to try and slow the hair loss process but if the damage is already done, a hair transplant is the most effective solution.
Hair transplant is an aesthetic operation that aims to transplant healthy hair follicles to the troubled areas and restore the healthy look of the hair.
There are different methods developed for hair transplant including follicular unit transplantation (FUT), follicular unit extraction (FUE), and direct hair implantation (DHI). Amongst these methods, the FUE hair transplant is the most popular option.
What is an FUE hair transplant?
An FUE hair transplant is a sophisticated hair transplant operation that leads to an authentic and strong hair look.
This method is the improved version of the traditional FUT hair transplant which is a well-known technique that is often associated with a disastrous “hair plug” look. FUT technique involves removing a strip of hair and transplanting it to the target area. This method often leads to an unnatural look.
On the other hand, an FUE hair transplant involves individually removing the healthy hair grafts from a donor area. Because hair grafts are transplanted individually, an FUE hair transplant leads to a more natural look and does not involve any cuts or stitches.
What to expect during and after your FUE hair transplant?
If you have been considering getting an FUE hair transplant, you are probably wondering what awaits you during and after the operation.
Your journey will start with a consultation session to decide on your goals and expectations. Before the surgery, your surgeon will shave the donor area. If it is necessary the hair around the target area might also be shaved. The hair grafts, which contain a few hair follicles, are extracted by using a punch tool or the manual punch technique.
Extracted hair grafts are collected in an environment that would preserve their vitality. The target area is prepared for transplantation by creating small incisions. The hair grafts are then transplanted into these incisions carefully by paying attention to the angle and placing. Placing individual hair grafts at a correct angle and growth direction is crucial for achieving a natural look.
The FUE hair transplant procedure is a safe and pain-free operation. Because it doesn’t involve any cuts or stitches the post-operational risks are very minimal. The operation is performed under local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. During one session, up to 5000 grafts can be implanted into the recipient area.
After your FUE hair transplant, you will go through a quick recovery period. During this time, you can expect minimal discomfort, scabbing, and itching. However, you should be able to go back to your normal life in a couple of days.
However, to see the results of your FUE hair transplant you will need to be patient and pay attention to the aftercare instructions of your surgeon. You will get regular check-ups to assess the process and regular updates on the aftercare instruction.
Depending on your body’s reaction, you can start to see hair growth after 3-4 months of your FUE hair transplant. From this point on, your hair grows at a normal pace and you will get closer to the hair look you have been dreaming of day by day.
