11 Steps in the Hair Transplant Procedure

The hair transplant procedure involves the shifting of hair roots from the donor location, to the recipient balding part of the scalp. The transferring process of hair roots is either done by the FUT technique or through the FUE hair transplant. One must know that only the extraction part is different in both the techniques otherwise, all the steps, i.e., the hairline design, slit creation, and implantation is all same. The procedure is a natural way to regenerate the natural hair and one can get the natural hair regrowth without having any kind of side effects or discomfort. This is an ultimate idea to combat hair loss, especially the genetic baldness or the Androgenic alopecia that offers the permanent hair back into the affected balding part of the scalp or body.

Nowadays, the plastic & cosmetic surgeries in India is getting popular not because of the low cost of the service charge, but also due to the increasing appeal of the recognized hair transplant surgeon and their clinic establishment in the prime city like Delhi and hair transplant in Jaipur.

The procedure is not only a permanent remedy for the genetic baldness, but it also required to alter hairline design according to patient’s wish and expectation.

Steps involved in the Hair Transplant surgery are described below:

1. Preparation for Hair Transplant Surgery: This is the primary stage in which the donor area is identified in order to extract the needed number of grafts for the implantation job.
2. The local Anaesthesia: once the donor site is identified the patients are given to local anaesthesia in order to start the process of hair root extraction. The injection of local anaesthesia is given to the patients to perform the surgical part of the surgery.
3. The Extraction Process: The extraction of hair root is the prime concern in the surgery that offers the feasible number of grafts to fulfil the hair restoration need. The extraction process must be done meticulously in order to save the grafts from unwanted desiccation. The hair root extraction is done by two scientifically approved techniques known as the FUT hair transplant and the FUE hair transplant.

The Extraction of Hair roots in FUE Method/Technique:

The extraction process in the FUE hair transplant is done via the punching tool or machine helps in obtaining the grafts one-by-one that facilitates the option of getting the limited number of grafts for the implantation job. The extraction is done randomly regardless of exact angle and direction that offers the grafts in a limited quantity. It is also known as the blind method as the random punching of hair roots causes the graft damage enormously.

The Extraction of Hair roots in the FUT technique:

The FUT or the follicular unit transplant method involves the strip excision for obtaining the grafts that are only taken from the safe donor part of the scalp. However, this technique primarily gives the permanent hair roots that lasted forever along with the retaining properties of the DHT-resistivity despite being transplanted to another location of the scalp. After harvesting the strip the later step followed by the microscopic dissection of hair roots is carefully kept in the saline water until the start of implantation job. However, the utmost precision, meticulously involvement of the surgeons and technicians are required to perform the surgery helps in achieving the best maximum number of hair roots in a single session. This is a primarily recommended method for the pattern baldness or the Androgenic alopecia.

4. Suturing of Donor Area: Once the excision of the strip has been completed in the FUT hair transplant, the donor area is sutured with the closure technique. At Medispa, we offer an utmost modern method of Trichophytic closure that gives almost negligible scars. The Trichophytic closure is an advanced method of closing that allows regrowth of hair just from the edges of the incision that makes the scar almost imperceptible. The overlapping fashion of closure is applied for a wounded area that hides the donor scars correctively and effectively.
5. The Microscopic Dissection: The extracted hair roots are now sent to the dissection room where technicians dissect every graft in order to obtain it separately for the process of a smooth implantation as according to the need for baldness. The dissection must be performed under higher magnification of microscopes. A Medispa, we use both 20X and 200X German microscopes in order to save the graft rate up to 99%.
6. The Slit creation: This is also known as the balding recipient site reparation job in which areas of the balding part are prepared for the graft implantation. The tiny insertion is made with the help of hollow punch according to the aesthetic depth and density for the process of graft implantation.
7. The placement of Grafts/Follicular units: The placement of grafts is the final step of the hair transplant procedure that closes the hair transplant procedure. The placement should be done precisely in order to maintain the natural shifting with the defined angle and direction of hair roots. This must follow a zigzag and an irregular pattern in order give the best aesthetic effect of the procedure.
8. Grafts should be placed according to Densities: The slim and small grafts should be placed on the frontal part of the scalp, especially for making the hairline design, whereas the bigger and chubby grafts are used to cover the crown and mid-crown areas of the scalp.
9. Immediately after the Hair Transplant Surgery: The patient is sent to the home as there are no particular post-care precautions in terms of taking leave from office or work after the procedure. It is just a day-care procedure followed by minor advice and precaution, including headband, gentle head wash and avoid difficult exercises for 5-7 days after the procedure.
10. The Closing of the procedure: The incision areas heal naturally and normally. The minor discomforts such as redness, swelling, and scabs disappear within a week of the post-procedure.
11. Resuming of regular schedule: One can resume their daily scheduling of the very next day of the surgery. The patients are put on antibiotics for 5-7 days in order to get a faster healing; otherwise, the process is normal as the transplanted hair behaves like normal hair.

So, it is always advisable to receive the primary consultation if you need the hair transplant procedure to sort out the issue of hair loss/baldness permanently. The cost of hair transplant in Jaipur & Delhi easily comes under the budget-cost option always been a lucrative decision for the economically concerned masses.
