How Hair Transplants Surgery Will Perform?

By Vitunov

Hair transplant surgery are performed under local anaesthetic. There is clinic that performed  hair transplant procedures with the patient receiving a mild sedative such as Valium, in addition to the local anesthesia. Dr. Epstein and the other Foundation doctors use the Wand®, a computer controlled device for painlessly injecting the anesthesia. For the occasional patient who desires a deeper level of anesthesia, twilight intravenous anesthesia can be provided. The type of anesthesia will be decided upon in consultation with the doctor.

The donor area is anaesthetised and a narrow strip of follicle bearing skin removed from the back of the head and the seam is then stitched. The removed strip is then carefully prepared and subject to microscopic examination in order to obtain follicle units (FUE) of one to two hairs for micro-grafting and three to five hairs for mini-grafting. The follicular unit grafts generated from either of these techniques are placed at the hairline, or in other areas of thinning, to complete the hair restoration. It is important to stress that all excised grafts are re-implanted back into the scalp the same day – the hair is never wasted!

The recipient area is anaesthetised and the grafts inserted into hollowed out channels. An experienced team can transplant up to 1,500 mini and micro-grafts per operating session, with larger areas of baldness requiring two to three sessions to be covered.

After the hair transplants surgery patients are recommended to plan a one to two week break period after the surgery and are advised to refrain from any sporting activities for two weeks following the surgery.

For most patients, hair transplants surgery increase their self-confidence and give them an enhanced outward appearance. In nearly every case the results are enduring, however even young patients need to be aware of the effects of the general aging process andthe individual’s personal balding.
