Hair transplant surgery has become very common these days. Many men are opting for hair transplantation because they want to look younger and fresher. They also want to change their hairstyle or style. If you are thinking of having hair transplant, then you should know some important facts before you go ahead with the procedure.

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair follicles from the back of the head are moved to areas of thinning hair. This helps to increase the density of hair in those areas. The procedure involves taking grafts from other parts of the body such as the scalp, beard, chest, arm, leg, neck, etc.

Hair transplant is a safe and effective way to treat male pattern baldness. It is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no downtime. There are several techniques that can be used to perform a successful hair transplant.

The most commonly performed technique is FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) which uses strips of skin containing multiple hairs. These strips are called follicular units. Each unit contains 1-3 hairs and is removed individually. The donor area is first anaesthetized and then the strip of skin is dissected out. A small incision is made at the base of each hair follicle and the root is separated from the shaft. The roots are then placed into the recipient area one by one using special instruments. This process takes about an hour to complete.

Another popular method is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor site without cutting them off. This makes it easier to place the grafts precisely. However, there may be more bleeding during extraction.

There are many factors that determine whether your hair transplant will be successful or not. Your age, gender, medical history, type of hair loss, number of transplanted hairs, and how much hair you have left on your head are all factors that affect the outcome.

If you are considering hair transplant, then you need to make sure that you get a consultation with a qualified doctor who specializes in hair restoration. You should discuss your concerns with him/her and ask questions. Make sure that he/she explains everything clearly and thoroughly so that you understand what you are getting yourself into.

You should also consider talking to someone who has had a similar procedure done. Find out if his experience was positive or negative. Ask him/her about any problems that he faced after the surgery.

It is always better to consult a physician well before going through any kind of surgery.

A good surgeon will explain all the possible risks involved in the procedure. He/She will also tell you about the recovery time and postoperative care required.
