Procedure Of Hair Transplant• STEP 1:- Donor area is trimmedPrior to surgery, the hair in donor area that will be surgically removed is trimmed.
• STEP 2:- Donor tissue is removedThe donor tissue containing the bald resistant hair follicles is then surgically removed.
• STEP 3:-Donor area is suturedThe donor tissue containing the bald resistant hair follicles is then surgically removed.
• STEP 4:-Hair combed over suturesWhen patient’s hair is combed over the donor area the sutures are not visible.
• STEP 5:-Donor tissue is trimmed into follicular unit
grafts Surgical technicians then use microscopes to view the donor tissue in order to dissect and prepare follicular units hair grafts.
STEP 6:- Incisions are made in the balding areasTiny incisions are made in the recipient areas in irregular patterns that mimic nature. The follicular unit grafts will then be placed carefully into these tiny incisions
• STEP 7:- Grafts are placed into the incisionsFollicular unit grafts are gently placed into the recipient incisions.
STEP 8:- Patient immediately after hair transplantAfter having hair transplant surgery, a patient will have hundreds of tiny incisions with short hair stubble showing from the new grafts.
Limitations of hair transplant
• Limited amount of hairs genetically resistant to hair loss in the donor area.
• Particular to follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery, donor hairs can be taken from outside the genetically resistant area which will continue to thin and eventually be lost
• Large bald areas that patients desire to have covered cannot be transplanted to full coverage
• Insufficient density of transplanted hair
• The need for repeat hair transplants due to continued hair loss
• Hair transplant does not stop hair thinning.
