Contemplating a Hair Replacement Transplant? Learn What’s Involved

A hair replacement transplant is a permanent solution for those experiencing hair loss to the point of becoming bald. Hair restoration surgery is suitable for treating both male pattern baldness and some cases of hair loss in women. However, you do need to have some growth remaining on your head to be a suitable candidate for a transplant. Since there is surgery involved in this restoration procedure, you will have a local anesthestic and there will be some pain involved, but the surgeon will give you medication for that.

The hair restoration surgeon will take small numbers of follicles, called micrografts, from your head and transplant them to places where you don’t have any hair. It takes more than one session to replace all of your lost hair through this type of procedure and the surgeon will be able to give you a good idea of how long it will take. The site from which the surgeon takes the hair will leave a small scar, but the procedure will more or less hide the scar.

After the hair restoration procedure, you will notice tiny marks on your scalp. These are the places the surgeon chose to replace the hair transplants from other parts of your head. There may be some fine crusts developing on these spots, but for the most part no one will notice that you had hair transplantation. Don’t be alarmed when the hair falls out of the grafts. This does not mean that the restoration surgery was not successful. It is normal and you may not notice any regrowth for about three months. After that, though, it will start to grow back and with each session you will have more and more hair.

The cost of this type of hair transplant surgery depends on the number of grafts and sessions needed to replace your lost glory. Each case is different depending on the individual, so you do need to consult with a specialist to help determine what the cost of medical hair restoration will be.
