In this article, we will continue women’s hair transplantation experience—like many women, she’s experiencing thinning of hair, which can be emotionally challenging. But yes, there is hope of hair transplantation. Before the procedure, we thoroughly assess the scalp condition of our patient and determine that she’s suffering from grade two hair loss. We understand her unique needs and design a personalized treatment plan based on her scalp condition and donor area to ensure optimal aesthetics.
We carefully trimmed her hair to create a discreet window, allowing us to harvest hair grafts from the posterior region. This method ensures that the remaining hair above the window seamlessly covers the trimmed area, maintaining overall aesthetic harmony.
Also,
we have carefully marked the donor area. Despite partial shaving, the donor area remains discreet thanks to our precise partial shaving technique. At Cara Clinic, we use the world’s finest instruments for creating the slits, known as sapphire blades. These ultra-sharp blades ensure minimal trauma to the scalp, faster healing, and more precise angles and directions of hair growth, resulting in very natural-looking outcomes.
The next step is the extraction phase. We carefully extract individual grafts from the donor area using our advanced FUE technique. Each hair graft is meticulously harvested to preserve and maximize the survival rate of the grafts. In her case, we extracted 2,100 hair grafts, ensuring an ample supply for transplantation.
Now, it is time for the implantation phase. Our skilled team meticulously places each hair graft into the recipient site, following the natural hairline and pattern for seamless integration. In her case, we have covered the front and mid-portion of the scalp.
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive hair restoration solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs. If you are ready to reclaim your confidence and restore your hair like her, schedule a consultation with us today.
Finally, we have covered the front and mid-portion of her scalp. It will take roughly nine months from here to see her final results.
Hair Transplantation Surgery: How to Take Care?
I am going to talk to you about an important topic: what care should be taken after hair transplantation.Let us begin by understanding that hair transplantation is a safe procedure with minimal side effects.Posttransplant care is very important. The better care you take, the better your results will be. It also impacts how quickly you heal and reduces the risk of complications. Proper aftercare following transplantation is crucial for achieving optimal results. When you leave the clinic after transplantation, your doctor will ensure there is no bleeding and that your blood pressure, pulse, and overall condition are stable. They will also check for symptoms like dizziness or lightheadedness. After the procedure, the doctor and their team will dress the donor area with a bandage. You need to remove this bandage the next day, either at home or by visiting the clinic. During this period, you must follow these care instructions:
1. Sleeping Position:
Sleep on your back with your head elevated, using two pillows at a 45-degree angle. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side to prevent friction on the grafts, which could damage them.
2. Reducing Swelling:
Keeping your head elevated helps reduce swelling. Additionally, wear the headband provided by your clinic to prevent swelling from moving into your eyes.
3. Post-Op Care Kit:
Your clinic will provide a post-op care kit, including a saline spray, iodine solution, antibiotic cream, gauze, a surgical cap, and a detailed list of instructions. Clean the donor area with iodine, then apply antibiotic cream twice daily.
4. Saline Spray:
Spray saline on the recipient area every 2 hours during the day to keep the grafts hydrated. Avoid spraying at night. Hydration is essential for graft survival and optimal results.
5. Medications:
Take the prescribed anti-inflammatory medicines and painkillers as directed by your doctor. Inform your doctor if you experience itching; they may provide medication to alleviate itAvoid scratching the grafts, as it may cause them to become dislodged.
6. Avoid Sunlight and Pollution:
Protect yourself from direct sunlight, pollution, and water for the first 4–7 days. If you need to go out, wear a surgical cap.
7. Head Washing:
On the 8th day, apply coconut oil or a moisturizing lotion to your scalp the night before washing to soften the scabs. Use baby shampoo and avoid standing under a direct shower stream. Wash your head daily for the next 10 days using a gentle technique as instructed.
8. General Tips:
Stay hydrated, eat a protein-rich diet, and avoid fatty or junk food. These steps will aid your recovery and promote healing.
The Importance of Medications and Follow-Up
After 8 days, your doctor will start you on medications to promote hair growth. Proper medication is essential for both the transplanted and existing hair. During the first 3 months, shedding may occur as the surrounding tissue reacts, but this is normal. New hair will grow from the roots after this phase. For better and faster growth, advanced techniques like Bio-FUE or DHI ensure minimal shedding and quicker results.
However,
Hair growth typically starts around the third month, with 60–70% growth visible by the 6th or 7th month. Complete results are typically visible within 12 months. Regular follow-ups and adherence to your doctor’s recommendations are critical for success. Skipping medications or follow-ups can lead to poor results and damage to the donor area, limiting options for future procedures. Clinics may also offer booster sessions in the 4th, 5th, and 6th months to enhance growth further. By following these instructions, you can maximize the benefits of your hair transplant and achieve the best possible results. If you have any doubts about post-transplant care, feel free to contact your clinic for assistance.
