AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY?

There are three main factors to determine whether someone suffering from hair loss is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.  Certain rules need to be determined by your hair care professional before finalizing foregoing with hair transplant surgery. 

 

First
The first step to determining the right candidate for hair transplant surgery is by determining the available grafts that they are able to donate. Suitable candidates must have enough hair to supply the bald areas without causing a balding effect to the donor area. The hair in the donor area must be thick, so that it can provide a reasonable good appearance after the hair transplant.

 

Second
The current age and level of baldness are also very important when considering a hair transplant candidate. The patient is recommended to be at an age where pattern baldness is apparent or eventually will be apparent. Your cosmetic surgeon will be able to give you a better details once he or she has viewed pictures or has seen the patient in person.

 

Third
Because hair grows at a particular angle and in a specific direction, the hair growth patterns must be duplicated as close as possible. When the hair transplant is completed, the restored hair will look natural and no different from the original pattern of hair growth.

Of course, it is also very important that the patient understand all aspects of this cosmetic surgery and is motivated throughout the hair transplant process.

Hair Loss-Causes & Treatments

Hair loss seems cannot be avoided with age. By the age of 70,  approximately 80% of Caucasian men have some balding and nearly 40% of Caucasian women have noticeably thinning hair.

For some, hair loss can be visible at an earlier age. Often, the cause of hair loss is hereditary, which means that we inherit genes from our parents that can cause hair loss. Even when hereditary hair loss is apparent, it is possible to treat it. Hair loss treatment does give men and women of all ethnic backgrounds a new, more rejuvenated appearance.

Hair loss is also referred to as:

    * Hereditary hair loss
    * Male-pattern baldness
    * Female-pattern baldness
    * Androgenetic alopecia



How will a dermatologist treat my hair loss?


Before a dermatologist can recommend a treatment, the cause would first have to be diagnose be he or she. Once the dermatologist has determined this, the treatment is then discussed.

Although there are treatments for hair loss - most are not permanent.

Permanent hair loss treatment can be found with surgical hair restoration - also known  as hair transplantation. 



What is hair transplantation?



Hair transplantation is a safe and simple cosmetic procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from one part of the scalp to areas that are either bald, or balding (grafting). Most commonly, this procedure is used to treat male pattern baldness as well as female pattern baldness (both referred to as Alopecia). Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, facial hair, and to fill in scars from surgery or previous hair transplants. Hair transplants can be performed in two ways; the hair follicles can either be extracted individually, or a section of skin can be removed from the scalp and the hair follicles later extracted from that. Depending on the patient and his/her needs, the cosmetic surgeon will review and access the case to decide which of the two hair replacement treatment options is best.


What are the different methods of hair transplantation?

There are two different methods for hair transplantation: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). The two procedures are similar with one major difference, the way the follicles are extracted. In Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the follicular units are extracted directly from the scalp, whereas in Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), a strip of the scalp is removed and the follicles are extracted from that. The hair transplantation option that will be most suitable for individual patients suffering from hair loss can be determined by a number of hair-loss tests proctored by the cosmetic surgeon.

What about follow up care after receiving my hair transplant abroad?

One of the most commonly asked questions regarding treatment abroad is follow up care after having a medical procedure done outside of your home country-especially with hair transplant risks and results.

  • What do I do after my hair transplant? 
  • How do I go about getting additional treatment if I need it? 
  • Who can help me?
 

Here is what we suggest:


1. Establish a relationship with your dermatologist or primary care doctor in your home country before you receive treatment abroad. If this is not an option-ASK QUESTIONS! Our medical facilitators are here for you. Regardless of what questions you may have...or how many, we are here to make sure to open up the communication lines between you and your doctor. Do not hesitate. This is your health-and it is important (very important).

2. Make sure to have all the necessary photographs and tests results with you. This means...bring any test results, notes, or photos your doctor has taken with you when travelling for your hair transplant. This also means to have all the  necessary documents after as well. Having this information will make it easier for you and your doctor before and after your procedure. This can also establish a relationship between your primary care provider and your hair transplant surgeron overseas.
 
3. Educate yourself. Before and after. We supply our potential patients who are seeking hair loss treatment with a number of guides regarding FUE and FUT procedures. If you can't find what you are looking for-contact us! We will make sure to have your questions and concerns acknowledged and answered. If you have any complications or concerns after surgery, and can't find help in your home country, our staff is here to make sure you have all the contact information necessary to reach your hair transplnt surgeon and have your concerns fixed.
 


Regardless of which hair loss treatment you choose, there are always going to be risk factors. Most procedures do go smoothly with no complications. However, if in any case they do occur it is recommended to have precautions and a plan before and after your hair transplantation procedure.

The main difference between most women and men is that women's hair thin out all over the scalp while men's condition usually resembles a pattern.

When it comes to treatment options, women are left behind because most of the treatments like HAIR TRANSPLANTS are targeted for men only.

Female hair loss is mainly related to their body's rhythm, hormones and underlying conditions and you will need to address these conditions first to stop the hair loss. It is recommended to educate yourself if you are facing significant hair loss. There are treatment options for women who are dealing with hair loss.
