When a cosmetic surgeon performs a follicular transplant, they are taking individual hair follicles, carefully plucking them out, and then reinserting them into the balding area. It is essential to make sure the donor hairs come from a healthy, non-balding area on a person's body. These hairs that are genetically resistant to balding will then stay in place when reinserted into the previously balding area. It is standard procedure to take the donor hairs from a non-balding area of the patient, and not from a different person.
Areas Available for Follicular Transplants
A plastic surgeon can perform a follicular transplant procedure almost anywhere on a person's body. The most common treatment area is the head, due to male pattern baldness. However, both men and women can benefit from follicular transplants in a variety of areas. These areas include the eyelashes, eyebrows, facial hair, the chest, and many others. A lot of women make themselves look younger by getting hair transplants done on their eyebrows, for example, since fuller eyebrows are associated with youth. Most people undergo hair transplants in order to look younger, though the procedure may also be performed to reintroduce hair to areas of the body that had been previously damaged.
Results
Regardless of their initial reason for seeking out the procedure, most patients report feeling happier and more confident after undergoing a follicular transplant surgery. It may take a few weeks to months for the hair to grow to an appropriate length and begin to blend in with the surrounding areas. There is minimal scarring associated with the surgery, and what little scarring does occur is usually hidden by hair. Since a person's own hair is used in the transplant, the results are generally extremely natural looking. People will never know that you underwent surgery to repair your hairline. After the procedure, hair is sufficiently thick in both the donor and treatment areas, thanks to the expertise of a well-qualified cosmetic surgeon.
