How is hair transplantation performed?

​

Hair transplantation is an absolute solution for baldness which is one of the major problems in our era and this method does not involve a very difficult path. Hair follicles are usually harvested from the posterior neck of the people and they are transferred to bald zones using various techniques; the success rate of this procedure is very high. Since the hair follicles in the posterior neck are resistant to the DHT hormone that causes hair loss, scalp hair is not lost in this region. Therefore, healthy hair follicles are “a shot in the arm” for bald zones.

Two techniques are used for the transplantation, where the most important detail is to ensure a natural look. Techniques used for hair transplantation include FUT, the classical strip method, and FUE, the non-surgical hair transplantation. In classical technique, hair follicles are harvested by making an incision in the posterior neck and this area is stitched afterward. Hair follicles are sorted using certain devices and the hair transplantation procedure is completed by transferring them one by one to the bald zone(s). By the FUT technique, a maximum of 1500 hair follicles can be transplanted. Although our clinic can apply both methods, the FUE technique is commonly preferred for hair transplantation. In the FUE technique, also known as hair transplantation without surgery, hair follicles are collected one by one using a punch. By the FUE technique, approximately 4000 hair follicles can be transplanted.

Certain preparations should be performed before the hair transplantation that has a very important position in the field of aesthetics. Following the examination by specialist doctors of our clinic, patients are informed in detail about the procedure in the preparation phase, where it is very important to reveal whether you have a health problem or not. Details of medications used by people with any health problem are very important for a successful operation.

Blood thinners, such as aspirin, and other similar drugs should be stopped at least 2 to 3 days before the transplantation procedure. Alcohol consumption and smoking should also be stopped before the operation. A light breakfast is allowed before the surgery and scalp hair should be washed in advance. Moreover, patients should have slept well for a certain time before the operation. Since the hair transplantation is performed in the posterior neck and head, you should wear button-front clothes in order not to lead to any complications after the operation.

Basic Phases of Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation is one of the most important aesthetic operations in our clinic and it is performed through certain stages. These stages are preparation, planning, collection of grafts, canal drilling, and transplantation of grafts (hair follicles).

Hair transplantation starts with the preparation stage, where scalp hair is analyzed. Next, blood tests are ordered to clarify whether the person is eligible for a hair transplantation procedure. Results of physical examination are reviewed by the specialist doctor in the planning stage and the hair transplantation technique is decided. The process continues with shaving the hair and next, an anterior hairline is drawn. If the FUE technique, characterized as a surgical procedure, is decided, then local anesthesia is administered. Grafts are collected under local anesthesia. Then local anesthesia and applications are administered to the plantation area. Next, canals are drilled in scalp zones that are deemed appropriate for transplantation procedures. At the final stage, healthy hair follicles are placed into canals, and hair transplantation is completed.
