TRANSPLANTHair transplants have come a long way from the procedures of the 70’s and 80’s. Back then the field of hair transplants was in its infancy and not only did the procedures Inevitably they look artificial but led to a follow-up operation … .. namely surgical hair transplant repair. The problem was with the size of the donor hair used section. Hair transplant doctors use sections of the scalp that are abundant and healthy, usually the back and sides of the scalp, and transplant these sections to an area of the scalp in need of rejuvenation like the top of the scalp and the temples.

Unfortunately the size of the donor section was unduly large, using as many as 20-30 hair follicles at a time, making it very difficult for hair transplant doctors to manipulate into a natural-looking scalp. There was also the concern of waste. Hair transplant surgery necessitate the use of healthy donor tissue from the back of the scalp, but this is not an unlimited resource, often wasted by the crude technology of the early hair transplants.

Today’s hair transplant surgery does not in any way resemble the old hair transplants. Modern techniques like Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation using a much smaller section of donor hair, hair follicles usually about 1.4, that allow the hair transplant doctor to easily manipulate the follicle and avoid problems like hairs growing in the wrong direction and the pluggy “doll’s head “look. In addition, side effects like headaches after the hair transplant and scalp redness, have become quite rare. Best of all, unlike hair loss medications, the results of a hair transplant are permanent and usually require no more than a few follow-up visitations to reach completion.

As far as how they look, most people have stories about bad hair transplants they’ve seen. But the truth is those same people probably have not noticed the good hair transplants, Because frankly, they’re good. As with any procedure, picking a good hair transplant doctor is an important factor in Determining hair transplant success. And nothing looks better, or is less noticeable, than a successful hair transplant.
