Surgical Hair Replacement
Surgical hair replacement may be the best option for
balding men and women who have had poor results from
hair loss drugs and topical treatments. Medical hair
replacement began as a practice in the early 1960s, but
has changed considerably with the advent of micro-surgery.
Today, trained physicians with specialties in hair restoration
combine surgical techniques with transplant artistry
in mimicking natural hair patterns. Hair replacement
surgery has become a minor, outpatient procedure where
the patient returns to work or other activities the following
day. Not everyone is a good candidate for medical hair
replacement, so it's important to seek a medical diagnosis
for hair loss and an assessment for successful restoration.
Weighing Hair Replacement Options
A physician takes a good look at family history, the
patient's medical background, and their supply of donor
hair before recommending surgical hair replacement.
The number of hair replacement procedures is determined
by the progression of baldness, as well as the availability
of healthy hair that grows along the sides and back
of the head.
If it's a good prognosis, the candidate can schedule
the procedure. Under local anesthesia or nitrous oxide,
the patient relaxes while the surgeon gathers hair from
the donor area. The harvested hair is converted into
micro-grafts that the doctor places, from the front to
the back of the scalp. Each procedure can last from two
to four hours.
After the hair replacement surgery, there are post-operative
restrictions against heavy lifting or intensive exercise
for up to five days. The patient may even shampoo by
the third day. The physician may prescribe a topical
antibiotic or mild pain reliever. Most hair replacement
recipients report only minor discomfort following the
procedure. The new hair begins growing in about 90 days,
and matures to full length within a year.
