What are the dangers of hair follicle transplant surgery

Many women have suffered from severe hair loss problems, and men are also troubled by the problem of baldness. Hair follicle transplantation surgery provides a medical technology for these people. Hair follicle transplantation is a relatively cumbersome method of treating baldness. It requires transplanting good hair follicles to the areas that need treatment and then growing new hair. Microsurgical techniques are mainly used. It is generally used clinically to treat problems such as hair loss due to transplantation. It is suitable for those with large or severe hair loss. It has been spontaneously and widely used in medical industries such as the beauty and hairdressing industry.

Surgical procedures:

Hair transplant surgery is an outpatient procedure and does not require hospitalization. The operation uses local anesthesia of the epidermis and is painless. During the operation, you can read magazines, watch VCDs, drink beverages, and go to the bathroom. The patient felt relaxed and comfortable during the operation.

1. Professional consultation

Before hair transplant surgery, you must consult first to determine the specific plan of the surgery. Professionally trained consultants can help you answer any questions related to hair loss and hair transplantation, so that you can have a comprehensive understanding of the principles, processes, and effects of hair transplantation before the procedure, and make the best preparations for the procedure.

2. Hairstyle

First, design the overall hair line and the hair style of the transplanted area. The measuring instrument measures the density of hair at the back of the head and calculates the number of hair follicle units that need to be extracted based on the area of ​​hair loss.

3. Extraction of hair follicles

After cleaning the scalp, the doctor injects a local anesthetic into the back of the head and extracts the transplanted hair follicles.

4. Separate hair follicles

This part is the most critical and the most laborious, and is still handled manually. After the skin is removed, each hair follicle unit must be separated. The shorter the separation time, the higher the survival rate of the hair follicles after transplantation. It also requires delicate skills to avoid damaging the hair follicles during separation. Using automatic hair transplant devices to speed up hair transplantation has always been a goal expected by the hair transplant community. However, the fixed size of the machine often damages the hair follicles and it is impossible to divide them into natural follicle units. Therefore, in order to obtain better hair transplantation results, artificial separation of hair follicles is still adopted.

5. Implant hair follicles into the scalp

This is another job that is very damaging to the eyesight. The doctor must first make a microscopic incision in the bald area on the forehead and then implant the hairs one by one. At present, artificial implants have the highest survival rate and the best density, but this requires considerable technology, and if the implant goes badly, it cannot be repaired. As for the automatic hair transplant machine, it is the dream of many hair transplant doctors. However, when the hair transplant machine automatically divides the hair follicles, the hair follicle damage rate is as high as about 30%, which will cause hair death. It is not a feasible method. Therefore, hair transplantation still relies on labor-intensive operations.

6. Postoperative care: You can go home immediately after the operation without bandaging. You can rinse your hair with cold boiled water 24 hours after the operation, and you can wash your hair normally on the 4th day. The sutures on the back of the head will be removed after the 10th day. After the operation, the transplanted hair will temporarily enter a resting period, and new hair will begin to grow after 2 to 3 months. The transplanted hair has normal physiological characteristics, will grow permanently, and will not be affected by male hormone metabolism. In a successful hair transplant operation, the survival rate of hair follicles can be higher than 95%. Yang Zhixiang said that for patients with male pattern baldness, every hair is very precious and cannot withstand casual consumption.

The possible hazards of hair follicle transplantation include:

Adverse phenomena such as bleeding, infection, swelling, ingrown hair and foreign body reaction. It is recommended that hair transplantation be performed in a more formal local hospital, which requires professional technology and advanced surgical equipment.
