air loss is a problem that many males are suffering with. With the progression of the modern medicine, some options are now available to counteract hair loss. Hair restoration has been proven to be very effective and it’s also totally safe. But, before you take a leap, it is important to understand what hair transplant is, the procedures involved, recovery time, side effects and most importantly whether you are a viable candidate for the procedure.
Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves taking healthy follicles from other parts of your body and transplanting them to bald areas, filling them and permanently restoring your hair. The size of the operation varies depending on the patient’s needs, but it is a one-day procedure.
Understand the Risks and Complications
When performed correctly, the results are permanent, natural and with minimal risks and side effects. However, a hair transplant is like any other surgery. This means that there are risks, and potential side effects involved such as bleeding, itching, inflammation, swelling, numbness, and infection. Fortunately, the side effects can be easily and comfortably managed with compresses and antibiotics. This is why it’s so important to choose a clinic that prioritizes your safety and takes the time to help you understand every aspect of the process.
Aftercare
The hair transplant procedure is not everything. It’s crucial that you inquire about the recovery process. There will be a little swelling of the scalp for 4 to 5 days, and some bare patches will be showing as well. Don’t expect your hair to look perfect as soon as your surgery is done. Remember you’ll have a shaved area in the back of your head where the transplanted hair was removed.
Cost
Try not to base your decision on cost. There are many patients who decided to save a few pounds and ended very unhappy with the results. You will be happier in the long run if you select the right clinic rather than the cheapest one.
