LOCATIONS FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THE SCALP

While hair loss on the scalp is probably the most common area of concern for patients, hair loss can occur anywhere on the body. Natural aging, disease processes or trauma can cause hair loss on the face, body, eyebrows and eyelashes.  trapianto di capelli turchia For some patients, this may cause some level of concern, but fortunately there are ways to rejuvenate it. The same techniques used to transplant hair into the scalp can be used for facial hair transplants, eyebrow transplants and body hair transplants.

Any hair from any part of the body can be transplanted to any other part of the body. Patients must keep in mind that the transplanted hair retains the properties it had before the transplant. This means that the hair grows in the same cycle, gets the same color and has the same texture. This can be problematic for transplantation between certain areas. Patients should be aware that hair on different parts of the body has different growth cycles. This means that eyebrow hair does not grow as long as scalp hair. When scalp hair is transplanted onto the eyebrows, the graft hair must be trimmed. Conversely, when body hair is transplanted to the scalp, it does not grow as long as natural scalp hair, so the natural hair must be trimmed shorter.

Eyebrow transplants

Donor hair for eyebrow transplants usually comes from the scalp. A large density of hair is required for eyebrow transplantation to make them look natural, and 2,000 or more grafts for both eyebrows is not unreasonable in some situations. Placement is key and requires a regularly irregular pattern to achieve natural looking results. After an eyebrow transplant, the hair must be shaved or a ponytail may result.

Eyelash transplants

Eyelash transplants are a much more difficult procedure to achieve quality and permanent results. The long-term results of eyelash transplants do not show a favorable survival rate. With the launch of Latisse(TM), it is proposed that patients only seek eyelash transplantation after all other treatments have been exhausted. The removal point is again the scalp and individual hairs pull through the edge of the eyelashes. Eyelash transplants from the scalp require maintenance or overgrowth may occur.

Mustache and beard replacement is possible with facial hair transplants. The donor site is again the scalp and either an FUE or strip donor excision can be performed. The placement pattern for facial hair transplant must be regularly irregular. Facial hair transplants can sometimes require a large number of grafts due to the large area to be transplanted.

Body hair transplants

Chest hair or pubic hair can be replaced with hair restoration procedures. Again, the scalp hair is the usual donor site and grooming is necessary to achieve natural-looking results.


The Hair Transplant Information Base - 5 Points You Should Know

This hair transplant fact sheet contains 5 basic points that you should know when considering this hair loss solution.

Point 1:

The actual transplant procedure involves extracting DHT-resistant hair from the side and back of the scalp and transplanting it into the balding areas. Some of the hair transplant information you need to know revolves around the technical vocabulary used:

Hair Density – the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of scalp.

Scalp Laxity – how tight or loose the scalp is. Hair extraction is much easier on a flexible and loose scalp.

Donor Sites or Stable Sites – the non-DHT affected areas of the scalp that are used to provide the hair for transplantation.

Point 2

Whatever you read contradicting hair transplant information, you must understand that in most cases, hair transplant is a procedure that works on men and not women. There is a clear difference between male and female hair loss. Men suffer from the infamous MPB (male pattern baldness), which results in a horseshoe hair pattern on the sides and back of the head.

Women often suffer from diffuse hair loss, i.e. a general thinning of the hair all over the scalp. The front hairline is mostly left untouched, unlike men who experience a receding hairline. A woman's hair can be attacked by DHT no matter where it is on the scalp. If the hair at the donor site is affected by DHT, it stands to reason that it can easily fall out when transplanted to another area.

However, men have DHT-resistant areas on the back and sides of the scalp, and it is these stable areas that provide hair for a successful transplant.

Point 3

Coarse hair or curly hair is best suited for a hair transplant and will provide the best coverage. A greater challenge for the surgeon is when the candidate has fine or straight hair, as this type of hair lies flat and close to the scalp and therefore offers minimal coverage.

Another challenge is people who have a high contrast between their hair color and their skin color. A more natural looking hair transplant can be achieved in individuals with dark skin and dark hair or vice versa in individuals with blonde light hair and light skin. Individuals who do not meet these criteria must carefully search for a highly qualified surgeon to perform the procedure.

Point 4

A lot of the hair transplant information you read focuses on the mechanics of the hair transplant procedure. In addition to emphasizing the mechanics of the transplant procedure, it is equally important to consider the art of hair transplantation.

Everyone is different in terms of face shape, hairline characteristics, etc. An experienced surgeon takes these individual characteristics hair transplant turkey  into account and performs a transplant that conforms to the natural contours and shapes of the client's scalp, head and face. A good surgeon will be aware of what is pleasing to the eye and what looks unnatural and wrong. Try to see previous clients' results firsthand, or ask for photos of clients who have had the surgeon perform the procedure.
