Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair Transplant, Beard Transplant, Scalp Reduction Surgery
Hair loss is primarily caused by a combination of aging, a change in hormones, and a family history of baldness. As a rule, the earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will become. Hair loss can also be caused by burns or trauma, in which case hair replacement surgery is considered a reconstructive treatment. Hair Transplant can be performed on the scalp, the beard, eyebrows and mustache area. Hair replacement surgery can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.
The most popular transplant techniques are FUE and strip grafts. These are generally performed on patients who desire a more modest change in hair fullness. Individual grafts are placed where there is thinning or absence of hair. Hair replacement candidates must have healthy hair growth at the back and sides of the head to serve as donor areas. Donor areas are the places on the head from which grafts are taken.
Flaps, tissue-expansion and scalp-reduction are procedures that are usually more appropriate for patients who desire a more dramatic change. This creates a fuller hair appearance by moving or reducing the scalp.
Remember, there are limits to what can be accomplished. An individual with very little hair might not be advised to undergo hair replacement surgery.
