Procedure of the Surgery
In this surgery, after Imagining the scalp of the patient the surgeon takes hair from the back of the head and moves it to the area of hair loss. The hair is taken from hair bearing areas. The Number of sittings and the number of grafts needed depends on the extent of the baldness.
Before the surgery the patient is advised to refrain from using any medicines, or alcohol, which might result in intraoperative bleeding and resultant poor acceptance of the grafts. The patient is also prescribed Pre-operative antibiotics to prevent graft infections.
To give more Details about the Surgery One should know that the fringe (back and sides) of hair on a balding scalp is known as donor dominant hair which is the hair that will continue to grow throughout the life of most men. These hair retains its characteristics of growth after it is transplanted to the bald area. Donor dominance (of hair from the back and sides of the head, which continues to grow throughout life) is the scientific basis for the success of hair transplantation. In this procedure, individual follicular grafts containing 1 to 5 hair are extracted and implanted in the bald area. The surgery lasts for about 6 to 7 hours.
