Hair fall is slowly becoming one of the common problems faced by people due to a plethora of reasons, such as exposure to polluted air, stress, and heredity. As a result of this, surgeries offering a permanent solution to the problem are becoming prevalent, thereby giving rise to the sudden yet enormous demand for hair transplants in India.
What is Hair Transplantation?
Surgeons perform hair transplantation, a surgical procedure, to extract hair follicles from the scalp and transplant them to areas affected by hair loss. They conduct extraction in the donor area and insertion in the recipient area. This procedure treats hair loss and enables hair regrowth in the affected areas.
The surgeons at a hair transplantation clinic will first perform several tests to determine the exact reason that is causing the hair to fall. Some of those tests include light microscopy, biopsy of the scalp, and blood test.
Upon receiving the results of these tests, the surgeons then decide which type of surgery would best suit the condition of the patient. Broadly, there are two types of surgeries opted for by the surgeons. They are:
1. Follicular Unit Transplantation or Strip Surgery
2. Follicular Unit Extraction
The best part is that both of them provide natural-looking and permanent results.
What is The Success Rate of a Hair Transplant Surgery?
The surgeon performing the hair transplant surgery greatly determines its success rate. Doctors affiliated with the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS) or the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) perform these surgeries most effectively.
Research shows that transplanted hair grows back in 80% of cases within just a few months, with results visible from the first few days. Patients can undergo hair transplant surgery if they have sufficient donor hair from any body part, such as the beard, shoulders, arms, legs, or chest.
Saraswat Hospital at Agra has two of the most successful hair transplant surgeons who are always updated with the new and rising trends of the field. The doctors at the hospital also offer a combined FUE and FUT surgery, which incorporates the best parts of both these surgeries.
How Much Does Hair Transplantation in India Cost?
A hair transplantation clinic finalizes the cost of a hair transplant with the surgery based on the number of grafts required. If the volume of hair loss is high, then the surgery would become expensive.
Having said so, you must also note that most of the hair transplant surgeries are performed in more than one sitting, especially when the hair loss is on the higher side.
The final cost, cumulatively, depends on factors such as:
1. Type of surgery (FUE/FUT/Combined)
2. Surgeon experience
3. Surgeon availability
4. Duration and sittings required for the surgery
Is Hair Transplant Long-Lasting?
To see the hair transplant results from the surgery, you will have to wait a few months. That is the minimum time your hair would need to grow back with the help of the newly inserted follicles. But first, you need to know that the transplanted hair might fall out within a few weeks of the surgery, and this is quite natural. In medical terms, this is called the “shedding” period.
Once the hair gets its regular pace back, you will be able to see natural-looking results, and there will be no signs of your surgery. What you need to keep in mind, right after your surgery, is that your scalp will feel tender for a few days. If you take proper care of your scalp, you will be able to achieve long-lasting and even permanent results.
How to Find The Best Hair Transplant Doctor?
The best hair transplant doctor is someone who has adequate experience in the field. He or she must be aware of all the ways a hair transplantation surgery is performed so that they can render the most desirable outcomes.
Saraswat Hospital has two extremely famous surgeons on board – Dr. Preeti Saraswat and Dr. Satya K Saraswat. Both these doctors, certified by ABHRS and lifetime members of ISHRS, are experts in performing hair transplantation in India.
Conclusion
One can never doubt the success rate of a hair transplant, especially when the procedure is performed by a certified and experienced surgeon. Book an appointment to find the exact number of grafts required in your case and get the best solution with a customized plan.
