Hair
Club expert surgeons perform this task with utmost precession.
In this type of surgery the key to hair transplants is the concept
of donor area dominance. Balding men have hair on back and sides
of their headsr. That's because these hair follicles do not
have the genetic instructions to be susceptible to Dihydrotestosterone
(DHT). Follicles that carry this genetic coding bond with DHT,
which slowly kills the follicle. The follicles on the back and
sides do not attract DHT, so they usually produce healthy hair
for a lifetime. Hair transplants use these non-balding hair
follicles as donor hair.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure. After anesthetizing
the patients donor area, a small section of scalp tissue is
surgically removed. The scalp is very elastic, so the area
is simply pulled together and sutured, just like if you had
a mole removed from your arm. The small thin suture line is
immediately and forever concealed by the hair on the back
of the head. Using magnification, the hair transplant surgery
team at Medical Hair Restoration separates the donor hair
strip, which may contain thousands of hairs, into follicular
unit grafts and micro-grafts.
After the follicular units are carefully prepared under magnification,
they are strategically placed into balding, thinning or receding areas.
These follicular unit grafts and micro-grafts are then implanted into
recipient sites in the balding area. Where the transplanted hairs
are placed, how they are angled, and in what size combinations are
the critical elements to obtaining a good result. This is where the
training and experience of the doctor comes into play. Careful attention
to the shape of the patients face, the results the patient wants to
achieve, and even future hair loss are other factors a good doctor
considers when designing a custom surgical plan for surgical hair
replacement.
Hair transplantation
surgery usually takes 3 - 6 hours and is done in an outpatient facility,
so patients return home after surgery.
