Know the procedure and benefits of Hair transplant!

I'm Dr. Sagar Gundewar, certified Plastic Surgeon, practicing in Navi Mumbai area at RPS Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center. Today I'll tell you briefly about hair transplant, it's advantages and how simple the procedure is.

Hair transplant, the basic technique is that, we take hairs from permanent zone which is called the donor zone. From there we are planting the hair to the area of baldness. There are two basic technilogies, called as FUT and FUE. In one there is a scar and a stitching, that is molecular transplantation, in which we take a hair bearing strip of skin from the scalp area and in another method we remove the hair with small punches, either .8 or .9mm punches. So, these are the basic two technologies used in hair transplantation.

The next thing is this procedure is done totally under local anesthesia and it is a completely safe procedure. There are various grades of baldness. Basically Hair transplant is suggested for Grade III and above and it is for people who are above 21yrs of age. The steps involved in the procedure are, first, we take out the follicles from the donor area that is permanent area under local anesthesia. Then next thing is we design the hairline and once hairline is designed we give the anesthesia in the front part, then we make holes in that area and implant the hairs. Post-op for around three weeks you have to take care of your hairs. For initial one week there will be pain killer antibiotics, after that you have to continue medicines for the growth of your hair. You will start seeing the results after around 3 months and the full result will come by 9 months to one year.

This is a completely safe procedure and it transforms your face and profile. For more information on hair transplant and hair loss treatment you can contact us on librate.com
