Understanding Hair Replacement Surgery
Hair replacement surgery involves procedures that redistribute hair follicles from an area of the head where hair grows thickly, to an area where hair does not grow. One procedure, called the follicular unit extract, or FUE, takes individual grafts of hair that are then transplanted to the hairless area. Another procedure, called follicular unit transplantation, or FUT, takes a “strip” of skin from a donor site on the head and then, divides it into individual follicles, which are then transplanted to the recipient area on the head. Your hair restoration physician will decide the best procedure for your individual needs.
What Happens During Hair Replacement Treatments?
You will be given instructions before your surgery regarding food, medications and other preparations. During the procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to the scalp to keep you comfortable. The hair follicles are then removed from the donor site of the scalp and inserted into the scalp. You will be awake during the procedure, which takes between 5 to 8 hours. After the procedure, the scalp is then cleaned and medical tape is applied. You will be advised about aftercare and follow-up visits that will assist the healing process.
