Hair loss or balding are often unexpected and unwanted parts of life. Stress, illness, hormonal imbalance can contribute to hair loss. While men experience male pattern baldness, women experiences hair thinning.
Hair transplant surgery or natural hair loss restoration is a procedure that makes use of your own hair follicles for hair restoration in balding spots. Generally, the hair from the back of the head is placed in the front and top of the head.
On edifying us about Hair Transplant Surgery in Manhattan, New York, Dr. Mansher Singh suggests that there are two approaches to conducting a Hair Transplant Surgery. The first one is FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and the second one is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
In the former approach, the surgeon uses a scalpel to cut out a strip of scalp skin from the back of the head. Thereafter, the surgeon splits the removed portion of the scalp into small parts using a magnifying lens and sharp knife and then implants it to the candidate’s bald areas.
In the latter approach of the hair restoration procedure, tiny holes are made with a blade or needle in the bald area of the head. Thereafter the hairs are gently placed in these holes, after which the graft, gauge, or bandages cover up the scalp for a few days.
Both of these approaches are performed by giving local anesthesia to numb the candidate’s head and by properly cleaning the candidate’s bald area of the head.
Although it is one of the most successful hair transplant procedures, the results may vary from one candidate to another.
