Hair Transplantationis is very beneficial in many other applications, besides Male pattern baldness, particularly in facial and scalp reconstruction. The most common causes for aesthetic hair restoration of those areas include hair loss resulting from aesthetic facial rejuvenation surgery, revision of unsatisfactory results from previous hair transplantation, burn alopecia, congenital reasons, and hair loss after oncologic resections. |

| Natural, life long hair restoration is now available thanks to the development of current, state-of-the-art techniques. |

| Hair Transplantationis involves removing a strip of permanent hair-bearing skin from the back or sides of the scalp(donor area) and then, using various techniques, the strip is usually dissected into micro grafts (containing 1-3 hairs) The FUG are then meticulously planted into the bald or thinning area of the scalp(recipient area). The creation of very small micro grafts (follicular units) has allowed very natural, feathered hairlines to be grafted, and avoids an abrupt, “pluggy look”, that was typical many years ago. Depending on the degree of balding for the frontal area and similarly for the crown area,1-3 procedures involving several hundred or perhaps 1,500 or more grafts may be required to achieve the desired density(of course, more procedures could be done if hair loss progresses or greater density is desired). |

| Within 24 hours small crusts will form on each graft which is shed in approximately 7-10 days. The grafted hairs will often start to grow by 6-12 weeks after the procedure and will continue to grow for a lifetime. |

| What happens after hair transplant surgery ? |
| |
| Hair Transplantationis a very safe, relatively minor surgical procedure. Patients are provided with a mild analgesic to relieve any discomfort felt the night following the procedure. Patient may need to sleep in a semi-upright position for 2-3 days following the procedure to minimize swelling and bruising. At present some doctors allow the patient to sleep flat. Small crusts may form on each graft that can be combed over the recipient area. These crusts will flake-off by 10-14 days after the surgery. The transplanted hair seen above the scalp will initially be shed, however the roots will remain dormant for 6-12 weeks, at which time the new hairs will all begin to grow. Numbness that may occur in the donor or recipient area usually disappears in 2-8 months following surgery.
Complications are rare. Minor infections can occur around a newly transplanted hair follicle, similar to an infected ingrown hair or pimple, and responds easily to antibiotics. Minor scars that occur in the donor scalp as a result to the removal of donor skin are narrow and can be easily hidden by the surrounding hair. The graft sites in the recipient frontal area heal with almost no visible scarring and are covered by the transplanted hair. Patients may experience mild swelling to the forehead area for a few days following surgery and on rare occasions may actually experience a black eye if the frontal scalp is transplanted. |
