Hair Transplant with FUE Technique

Hair transplant is the operation that offers the best results among permanent hair restoration treatments. FUE is the most advanced hair transplant method. In this surgical operation, it is aimed to achieve permanent and natural-looking results by using the most advanced and safe methods. The FUE technique is a proven method and is a technique performed under local anesthesia by collecting the grafts one by one from the donor area at the back of the head and transplanting them into the designated areas on the head.

Each graft consists of one to three hairs. The grafts collected from the donor areas are carefully transplanted into the balding areas on the head after being collected in a special solution. As a result of the operation, you will have natural-looking hair that will stay with you for life.

Although there are many FUE hair transplant procedures, some of them can be listed as follows:

• Inherited high hairline
• Frontal hairline reconstruction
• Crown area restoration
• Scalp or facial scarring camouflage.

How is FUE Hair Transplant Surgery Performed?

The FUE technique allows hair follicles to be harvested one by one with a non-invasive method. The harvesting process should be well planned so that the temporary scars in the donor area and the hair transplant area are as small as possible.

Your surgeon will collect grafts from the back of your scalp using as small a punch as possible. If the grafts are collected with precision, their chances of survival increase.

After the hair transplant area is marked, a hairline is drawn on the scalp. Donor grafts placed under local anesthesia in minimal slits on the scalp provide a noticeable increase in hair density. Since hair transplant is an operation that requires precision and meticulousness, it can take between 5 and 12 hours depending on the number of grafts. Some operations may need a second session the next day.

There are two different stages in FUE hair transplant surgery, harvesting and implantation. Before both stages, an anesthetic needle is injected into the patient's head. This is necessary for the treatment to be painless. Patients can watch movies or be interested in anything else during the operation process.

Thanks to the great experience of our team based on many years and thousands of procedures, the results of hair transplantation will look very natural. The FUE technique, which does not require stitches, ensures that there is no visible incision scar on your scalp. While the donor area heals within two weeks, the results of the operation begin to be observed three months after the operation.

The aim of this article is to give you a general information about the surgical intervention in question. You need to make more research about possible complications and risks of this selected procedure in order to make an informed decision. Please note that complications occur more frequently with patients who are obese, smoke, and have a history or lung or other chronic underlying medical conditions.

Smokers are recognized to have a significantly higher risk of post operative wound healing problems with a subsequently higher potential of infection as well as operative and post operative bleeding. Patients should discontinue smoking for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery. Although it helps to stop smoking before and after surgery, this does not completely eliminate the increased risks resulting from long­ term smoking. Smoking also has a long term adverse effect on the skin and ageing process.
