Hair Loss Information

It was in 1939 when Dr. Okuda, a Japanese Dermatologist, first invented a technique known as hair grafting or hair transplantation. However, Dr. Okuda is considered an unsung hero of this field as much of this procedure history is not credited to him.

During the last one decade, hair transplantation has seen loads of transformations. It has become one of the most popular branches of cosmetic surgery these days mainly due to its effectiveness and good results.

Hair transplantation, also known as hair restoration or hair replacement, is a surgical procedure in which donor hair transplanted into the head’s balding area after taking from the back and sides of the head. In this procedure, donor hair is first isolated in single or double hair grafts and then these grafts are placed into the hairless area. If you don’t have hair even at the fringes of your head pr you are totally bald, you cannot qualify for hair transplant operation.

Those willing to spend for a hair transplant surgery know that the biggest advantage of this procedure is that you get your hair back certainly and they are forever. However, you and your doctor need to be agreed on some realistic expectations. You must discuss all what you are expecting, but in most cases patients begin to dream about the things that are not going to happen.

A classification system to determine different baldness patterns has also been developed and that is known as Norwood Classification System. With the help of this system one can determine one’s particular degree of baldness. The system indicates that thinning of hair in men usually takes place around the temple area and it completes in 7 phases. It’s better to know about your baldness pattern before undergoing a surgery.

Those who want to undergo a hair transplant surgery must give consideration to things like hair transplant techniques, different steps involved in the surgical procedure, pre and post operative instructions, recovery time, cost, repair and last but not the least the clinic they have chosen for it. Patients can get the desired results if they have detailed information about these different aspects of hair transplant surgery. Contrarily, if you opt for this surgery just considering the good results that your friends or colleagues might have attained after undergoing that surgery, keep in mind that the results vary from person to person.
