QUESTIONS ABOUT HAIR
TRANSPLANT

Hair transplant is a surgical method used to
treat hair loss and balding in both men and
women. In this procedure, hair is transplanted
from the unaffected area to the affected one. The
site from which hair is collected is called the
donor site, it is then transplanted to the area
where hair loss has been located- called the
recipient site. If you suffer from hair loss
yourself, chances are, that you have a lot of
queries regarding the whole procedure. It is a
life-changing decision and having questions about
them is obvious and important as well. In this
presentation, we have answered the Top 10
Frequently Asked Questions about Hair Transplant
that usually crop up in people!

FAQ 1- IS A HAIR TRANSPLANT
PROCEDURE PERMANENT? The first and foremost
query about a hair transplant will obviously be
about its durability. During a hair transplant
surgery, the surgeon takes hair follicles from
one area and grafts it in another area where
balding or thinning has started taking place. The
transplanted hair is resistant to the hormone
that boosted your previous hair fall and hence,
it will not cease to grow. In this way, the
transplant is indeed permanent. Even if the area
around transplanted hair follicles doesn't grow
anymore, there is no reason why your transplanted
hair will also not grow. While results vary from
one person to another, the results can be
expected to last a long time.

FAQ 2- IS HAIR
TRANSPLANTATION SAFE? A hair transplant surgery
is a safe process, considering that it is
performed by a well qualified and experienced
surgeon. The only downside of a treatment like
this is its varying results in people. It also
depends on the physical reaction of the
individual along with his healing abilities. Of
course, as with any other kind of surgery, it can
be different, which means that some people may
have negative reactions. The patient is likely
to feel some soreness and inflammation at the
transplant site for a short period of time, which
can also be treated through painkillers. However,
the high success rate of hair transplantation all
over the world, makes it safe for the majority of
patients.

FAQ 3- CAN I GO HOME AFTER A HAIR
TRANSPLANT SESSION? The best thing about getting
a hair transplant done is the fact that the
procedure takes less time than your wife would
take in a hair salon. Jokes apart, you can go
home right after you get the surgery. There is no
valid reason to restrict you from going back
home. So much so, within 10 days, patients should
be able to return to their regular hair wash
routines and their typical sleeping position and
habits. By this point, the soreness reduces and
hair grafts and scalp heals sufficiently.

FAQ 4- DOES THIS PROCEDURE GIVE A NEW
HAIR LOOK OVERNIGHT? Hair transplantation does
not give a new hair look overnight as it takes a
specific amount of time for the development of
hair. It usually takes an extent of 6-8 months
and for a head full of hair it requires even
more. The growth of hair follows a series of
patterns. There is a temporary loss phase after
2-3 weeks of the surgery. The reason for this
is nothing to be scared of the newly
transplanted follicles do not get accustomed to
the transferred area immediately and go into a
state of shock resulting in a minimum amount of
hair loss. New hair starts to grow within six
months and achieves its fuller state in a year.
The maximum it takes is 18 months for the kind of
result you expect.

FAQ 5- HOW PAINFUL
IS A HAIR TRANSPLANT? Everyone has a different
threshold of pain than others. Therefore, it is
difficult to determine the exact level and amount
of pain in this procedure.Hair transplantation
is a labor intensive procedure and involves
harvesting and extracting individual hair
follicles from the donor area and transplanting
them to the bald or thinning area of the scalp.
Hence, the results immediately after a hard-core
surgery like this can look tender and painful.
However, the procedure shouldnt cause any pain
as a local anaesthetic is used to numb the scalp
area where the surgery is done. Painkillers and
other sedatives are also sometimes given to our
patients, to make sure that they don't feel any
pain during the surgery. The larger the amount of
grafts is, the more it has the chances to cause
soreness and pain.
8
FAQ 6- HOW LONG DOES THE
PROCEDURE TAKE? The time a hair transplant
surgery will take depends upon the area of
baldness and the grafts required for that
specified area. Small sessions where up to 1300
grafts are being grafted may take about 3.5
hours.An amount of 1300-2000 grafts, which is
also as common as the previous one, takes no less
than 4 to 5 hours. Large or mega sessions with
more than 2000/3000 grafts definitely take more
than 5 hours and can get very heavy-duty. It is
usually advisable to go for a smaller number of
grafts per session so that any reaction doesn't
take place and the surgery goes smoothly without
any pain for the patient.

FAQ 7- CAN AGED PEOPLE
GO FOR THE SURGERY? The answer is yes. Hair
transplant can actually work better in the aged
people. Still, there is no restricted age bar and
even youngsters can go for the treatment,
depending on the urgency. When you are as young
as 21, chances are, your actual hair loss pattern
has not even taken its real pace and hence, is
unpredictable. Similarly, a balding person in his
50s, the pattern is clearly identifiable making
him equally good, if not better, a candidate for
the surgery.

FAQ 8- IS HAIR
TRANSPLANTATION ONLY FOR MEN? In terms of the
effectiveness of the procedure, it works
similarly for both men and women, thereby solving
this query once and for all. However, there is a
common disbelief that only men are affected by a
hair loss problem. This is not true. Around 40
of women face problems of hair loss by the age of
40 and choose to go for the surgery. In females,
the visible hair loss is in the top area or crown
of the head known as Female Pattern Hair Loss
(FPHL). The thinning in women starts with a
broadened center hair part leaving the hairline
unaffected. The chances of balding, however, is
unlikely because of long hair in women.

FAQ 9- HOW DO I FIND
THE RIGHT SURGEON? No matter what the surgery
is, you always want the best for you. A trusted,
qualified professional is the way to go for safe
results. If you are in Kolkata, you should seek
the expertise of Dr V.S Rathore, the best hair
transplant surgeon in the city. With an
experience of more than 18 years, he has
rightfully achieved the position of the best hair
transplant doctor. He has successfully performed
more than 9000 surgeries including more than 2100
hair transplants.

FAQ 10- IS HAIR TRANSPLANT AFFORDABLE
FOR NORMAL PEOPLE? The price of surgery depends
largely on the number of hair grafts one is going
to transplant. In India, the cost is
comparatively low because of its popularity and
demand. It is generally around Rs. 40,000 to
50,000 in nearly all clinics making it affordable
for the working class. Practically, hair
transplant surgery is worth every penny as the
success rate of the treatment is very high. In
fact, you must consider treatment from a trusted
clinic even if they charge more. Most hair loss
treatment options require constant investments
that eventually start to add up, but with a hair
transplant, the larger initial cost typically
ends up being cheaper in the long run.
