Hair Transplant

Hair transplant surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which active hair grafts are isolated from rich sources and transplanted to the hair loss regions. A board-certified plastic or dermatological surgeon is the right person to carry out this surgery. 

 Before the surgery, the plastic surgeon first analyses the patient’s hair loss pattern and diagnoses the grade of baldness. Based on the grade, the doctor suggests the best hair transplant treatment for the patient. Then, the required medical tests or observations are made and discussed with the patient for approval.

 On the day of surgery, the patient’s scalp is first trimmed to get a clear view of the healthier hair follicles. Sedation and local anesthesia are provided and then the hair transplant surgeon begins extracting the hair grafts. Consequently, the grafts are differentiated and transplanted on the front or balded portion of the scalp. In a single session, a plastic surgeon can transplant from 2500 to 5000 grafts.      

 After the surgery, the patient can leave the premises but visit the center for two consecutive days for observation. Thereafter, the patient enters the recovery phase of the hair transplant procedure.

 Above all, the success of a hair transplant depends on the quality of the grafts extracted and transplanted. So, if you plan to undergo this surgery, first identify the healthcare center that offers the best hair transplant in Bangalore with a good reputation, proficient surgeons, beautiful before and after testimonials, etc.   

Types of hair transplant

The major types of hair transplants that surgeons prefer today are:

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant)

• FUE (Follicular Unit extraction)

 FUT: In this type, the nourished hair follicular units are first identified at the back or side of the head region. Second, a long strip is marked (~5 to 6 inches long and 1 to 2 inches wide) and removed from the scalp along with numerous healthy hair follicles. Third, the individual follicular units with 1-4 hairs are extracted individually and transplanted to the bald region or the area where the patient experiences severe hair loss. Later, the removed strip region is stitched with a special sealing method. And fear not; this will not end up scarring. Usually, this sealing fades away. 

FUE: This is a traditional method of hair transplant treatment in which individual hair follicular units are extracted and transplanted to the target regions. When compared to FUT, doctors can extract fewer grafts from this method. Also, the process is laborious. 

Why choose Tamira for hair transplant treatment in Bangalore?

Unlike other cosmetic procedures, a hair transplant procedure requires a proper theatre setup. Without a surgical theatre, it becomes difficult for doctors or plastic surgeons to carefully transfer the grafts in a sterile condition, ontinuously monitor the patient’s health condition, and ensure quality sedation. This brings the need for hygienic surgical conditions and, hence, advanced theatre facilities or amenities in the hair transplant clinic or the cosmetic center.

 Guidelines after the surgery

• As the procedure includes local anesthesia and sedation, the patient may witness some swelling around the stripped or transplanted regions of the scalp. This is absolutely a normal condition and will diminish in a couple of days.

• Avoid traveling or exposing the scalp to sunlight.   

• Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol for at least seven to eight days after the date of surgery.

• Lack of sensation may extend up to 48 hours. 

• A slight itching may occur. However, if you experience severe itching, immediately visit the doctor for consultation. 

 Hair transplant cost in Bangalore 

There is no fixed cost or fee for a hair transplant treatment. It depends on various factors, like the doctor’s experience, the number of surgeons involved in the procedure, the facility at the hospital, the number of sessions taken, and importantly, the number of grafts transplanted. Thus, each hair transplant clinic in Bangalore is different in expertise and so is the cost of hair transplant surgery.
