Hair Transplant Surgery: Medical Hair Restoration in India
About Hair Loss
The normal person will shed in between 50 to 150 hair every day. This shed hair is constantly replaced by the growth of new hair from the same follicle that it has shed from. The new hair will grow approximately half an inch every month.
Baldness begins to appear when the growth of hair does not keep up with shedding. It will also be noticed when the new hair is thinner than the shed hair.
Loss of hair will always have a cause. The cause can be diagnosed and a treatment recommended by a hair transplant surgeon. It is commonly misunderstood that only males suffer from hair loss. Females too suffer from hair loss but not as much as males do.
Hair loss can occur due to a variety of causes. You are more likely to suffer hair loss if it is present in your family history. Hereditary hair loss accounts for the maximum number of cases of hair loss. Other major causes of hair loss are regular intake of antihypertensive drugs, diabetes, medical treatments such as chemotherapy, and scalp infections that are left untreated.
Hair transplant surgery can help replace lost hair. Most of those who suffer hair loss and balding usually have got just one thing in mind; to get the lost hair back.
Hair Transplantation Surgery
Hair transplantation is the only thoroughly proven way to permanently restore hair to thinning or bald areas of your scalp. When you have hair grafted from the back and sides of your scalp to your balding areas, your hair will begin growing, and can keep growing, throughout your life.

A combination of hair restoration techniques may be used to produce the best results. The type of hair replacement surgery chosen depends on the extent and pattern of hair loss, along with your individual situation, lifestyle and desires.
Who is a candidate for transplantation?
In general, age or sex is not a limiting factor for our hair restoration techniques. Patients age 70 and older have had successful procedures. Individuals in their 30's who are experiencing male pattern baldness also can be successfully treated. Even younger patients may be candidates, but should be managed conservatively. Some women with specific patterns of hair loss also may qualify as candidates.
The ideal candidate for hair restoration surgery has healthy hair on the sides and back of the head -- the areas from which grafts are taken. It is often better to start when you are not completely bald so that you can use existing hair to help camouflage the early stages of the restoration.
The following individuals may be good candidates for hair transplantation : -
Individuals with well-defined male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness.
Individuals with hair loss from scarring, scalp injuries or cosmetic surgery procedures.
Individuals who wish to restore or thicken eyebrows, mustaches or beards.
Individuals who had prior hair restoration procedures.
How is the procedure performed?
Hair restoration surgery involves removing a small strip of hair-bearing scalp from the back and sides of your head. This donor region contains hair that will grow throughout your lifetime. The area from which the strip is taken is carefully closed, usually resulting in a very fine line completely hidden amongst the remaining hair.
Our skilled surgical team then microscopically divides the harvest strip of hair-bearing scalp for replacement in your balding areas. These grafts may be processed into a variety of different sizes, depending on your specific needs and scalp conditions. The grafted hairs grow much like normal hair and are virtually undetectable. Follicular groupings containing more hairs will be used to obtain more density behind the hairline.
With the use of local anesthesia and IV sedation, any discomfort during the procedure can be eliminated. To complete the restoration, our staff carefully checks that your newly placed hairs will grow together in specific directions to form a hairline that is virtually undetectable from the one that nature might have given you, along with increased overall hair density.
What happens expect after the surgery?
Most patients can return to work 24 to 48 hours after their hair restoration.
Hair is washed the morning after each procedure.
Vigorous physical activity should be limited for five to seven days.
Medication is utilized to minimize swelling which can occur. Some crusting or small scabs may be present for seven to ten days, along with some itching at the treatment sites. Any numbness at the donor or recipient sites usually disappears within several weeks to a few months. Follow-up visits at four to six-month intervals are scheduled in order to monitor progress and assess results.
What results can be expected?
Micrografts leave virtually no scaring. They also conserve much of the hair that will be needed for future transplantations. The amount of coverage that is achieved depends on the extent of your hair loss, the density of your donor hair, as well as the number of procedures.
Much of the transplanted hair will shed within a month. Approximately three months later (90 to 100 days), new hair starts to grow and continues to grow at a normal rate. About six months after a hair transplant session, the transplanted hairs begin to take on a natural appearance and will continue to grow for a lifetime. The donor site from which the hair was taken shrinks to a small, barely noticeable incision line that is completely hidden in the surrounding hair.
Are there any complications from surgery?
As with all surgical procedures, there is always some risk. However, complications from the surgical treatment of hair loss are rare and generally minimal. Bleeding and/or infection are infrequent and minor. In general you should avoid aspirin or certain drugs or some herbal remedies before surgery. If you have specific concerns please discuss them with your physician.
