Six Crucial Steps for A Succesful Hair Transplant

1. Choosing correct patient
2. Extraction of grafts without any damage and using appropriate punches
3. Natural hairline design and appropriate recipient incisions
4. Implantation of grafts
5. Obtaining most effective local anestesia during procedure
6. Most important one: expertise and experience

1. Choosing correct patient

Choosing the right patient for hair transplantation is important in terms of performing the surgical procedure without any problems and obtaining good results. Not every hair loss is suitable for hair transplantation. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss type in which hair transplantation is performed. Hair transplantation should not be performed in cases such as active cicatricial alopecia. For the correct diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment of hair loss, it is absolutely necessary to be evaluated by a dermatologist. In addition, hair transplantation should not be performed in cases such as unrealistic patient expectations.

2. Extraction of grafts without any damage and using appropriate punches

Obtaining intact hair follicles from the donor region is very important for the success of the process. Damage to the hair follicles during harvesting, i.e. transection, negatively affects the viability of the hair follicles after hair transplantation. Various punches can be used to extraction of the hair follicles. Graft harvesting can be done without any damage to hair follicles with newly developed punches.

3. Natural hairline design and appropriate recipient incisions

• Natural hairline design: Hairline design step is very important in terms of natural appearance. Best natural appearance could be achieved with the special hairline design technique developed by Dr. Civas.
• Recipient incisions: The recipient incisions must be carefully made at precisely the proper angle and depth to achieve optimum results. Incisions not made properly can lead to poor results both in terms of graft survival and natural appearance.

4. Implantation of grafts

Appropriate placement of the harvested grafts is important for graft survival and also for natural appearance. One hair contaning follicular units and those containing more should be placed in the appropriate distribution. For example, if follicles containing 3 hair are placed on the hairline, it will cause an unnatural appearance. Furthermore damage to the follicles during transplantation will cause hair loss.

5. Obtaining most effective local anestesia during procedure

Hair transplantation is a long-lasting surgical procedure and is performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, appropriate anesthesia is essential so that the patient does not feel pain and the surgeon can work comfortably.

To avoid overdose and possible intoxication, one should always anesthetize only those areas that will be treated immediately. This assumes that the entire treatment is performed and monitored by the physician.

6. Most important one: expertise and experience

Diagnosis and treatment of hair diseases should be done by dermatologists. Hair transplantation is a surgical treatment procedure and requires expertise and experience.

What factors affect the success of hair transplant?

The basic logic of hair transplant; hair is taken from an aesthetically suitable area (donor) that will most likely not to be affected by hair loss and is transplanted to the desired area. The major limitations of hair transplantation are the patient’s expectations, the sufficiency of the donor hair, the size of the bald area, the cause of hair loss, experience of the surgical team and the possible medical risks.

Hair transplant in cicatricial alopecia cases is mostly limited by indications. Currently there are no precise conclusive judgments with regards to primary cicatricial alopecia cases. Theoretically, you can detect if the disease is chronic or not by monitoring the relapses. Unfortunately, there is no alternative treatment method for the patients to regain back the lost hair. Secondary cicatricial alopecia is caused by factors like burns, accidents, trauma and surgery. In such cases, hair transplant can produce satisfactory results if there is adequate blood supply in the scar tissue and sufficient donor hair.

Other possible limitations which should be carefully evaluated before surgery; allergic reactions to medication used during the surgery and other side effects. The hair transplant candidate should also be evaluated in terms of local anesthesia as well as bleeding disorders. Increasing the capacity of the donor by hair cloning will eliminate the biggest limitation in hair transplantation. Additionally, another factor that can help eliminate this limitation is use of alternative donor hair from the beard, chest and legs.
