Hair Loss Explained
Heredity is the leading cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is the easiest form of hair loss to correct. It usually begins with a receding hairline or a thinning at the crown and progresses over a lifetime. In women it is hormonal. Hormonal changes include those that occur during menopause and can lead to thinning and pattern loss. Many factors including high fever, severe infection, diet, certain medications, birth control pills, thyroid disease, childbirth, and cancer treatments can cause hair loss. Frequent shampooing, the wearing of hats and poor circulation are not the cause of hair loss
Expectations After Hair Restoration Surgery
Immediately after the procedure, the sites of the transplanted hairs are visible as very small wounds.
These heal quickly, and within a few days are no longer distinguishable from the surrounding skin. In fact, patients are encouraged to wash their hair the day after the procedure. The very small wounds can be camouflaged by surrounding hair if there is still some in the area. Patients are allowed to wear a loose-fitting cap if they like.
What about Scarring?
FUT: This method results in a linear scar in the donor area, the patient will heal with a fine straight scar that will be undetectable as long as the patient leaves hair ¼” long.
FUE: This method leaves circular scarring, which is less apparent than a linear scar, allowing the patient to wear their hair shorter.
* Note: both methods of harvesting leave some scarring
Follow-up Care
Follow-up care is vital for this procedure to monitor healing. Obviously, anything unusual should be reported to your surgeon immediately. It is essential that you keep your follow-up appointments.
