How to Get a Successful Hair Transplant in India?

Although hair transplant procedures are getting popular by the day, the copious information that we come across can make us overlook certain steps to get a successful hair transplant in India. It is vital to understand and have full knowledge of the steps to be followed for a successful hair transplant procedure.

As per Berkowits hair & skin clinic who has been in advance hair transplant and medical hair treatments in India since the year 1986, there are five primary steps that need to be kept in mind. The steps are as follows: :

• Accurate planning and diagnosis
• Graft extraction with zero damage
• Proper storage of the donor grafts after harvest
• Precision of the graft placements in terms of density, angle and direction.
• Post-operative care

Let’s look at all these steps in detail.

 Accurate Planning and Diagnosis

While planning for hair transplant surgery, the most crucial step in the diagnosis of the cause behind hair loss. This would give you an insight on figuring out the entire process further. If a person is experiencing constant hair fall, it is essential during the transplant preparation to predict the future hair loss. These potential regions would be included in the transplant process.

While planning for hair transplant, the patient’s hairline needs to be tailored keeping in mind their appearance post 25s and 45s. Additionally, a straight hairline needs to be avoided while performing the procedure since it would give a non-natural look.

Graft Extraction with Zero Damage

Physicians must perform with due diligence while ensuring the hair follicles are extracted one at a time during the Direct hair implantation or FUE technique. The proper orientation, direction and exit angle of every follicular unit must be determined during the extraction procedure for avoiding any graft injuries.

In some cases, there are probabilities of injury in the hair follicles and connective tissues which nurture the new hair growth. If any hair follicle gets damaged during the process of extraction, hair transplantation cannot proceed further. Therefore, hair follicles that fail at taking root in their transplanted location remain transplanted for around 3-5 days before soon falling out.

Proper Storage of Donor Grafts after Harvest

For increasing the survival rate and improving the effect of hair transplant is depends on the proper storage of donor grafts. The follicular units should be placed in a storage solution.

Even though the above-mentioned conditions are put to practice, what matters the most is the time period for which the grafts stay outside a patient’s body. In the Traditional FUE method the extracted follicles were placed in a storage solution for a long period of time.. After extracting all the follicular units, the implantation procedure is then performed. The Direct hair implantation technique directly implants the extracted hair follicles in the receipt site. We at Berkowits with our advanced FUE method do not preserve the follicle for a long time and the transfer is made instantly.

In Berkowits advanced method of hair transplantation, after extracting the grafts from the donor site, they get implanted in the receipt within 1-2 minutes. These extracted grafts are neither stored at 4°C nor preserved in any solution. Since the grafts get implanted right after their harvest, the chances of follicle wastage is very less.

Precision of Graft Placement

The final outcome of a hair transplant procedure is not only determined by the proper storage of grafts but also by the graft implantation procedure.

To begin with, the angle at which the hair follicles are extracted from the scalp skin is very critical. The usually accepted angle between the hair below skin and the hair exit angle above is 40 degrees. The physician needs to analyze other follicles for precision and accuracy.

The direction of the hair follicles also matter since the direction deviate downwards from top to sideways. It is hard to determine the hair growth direction on the top of your head. So, you need to make sure the physician and medical staff are experienced enough to handle your hair well.

The third important issue is the hair density which is linked with the total number of grafts which are to be extracted. For achieving high density, a satisfactory amount of grafts need to be extracted. The best region for hair extraction is the vertex posterior situated at the back of the head, between the ears. The hair of this region is resistant to Dihydrotestosterone which causes hair loss.

Post-Operative Care

If the patient undergoing the hair transplant procedure smokes or consumes alcohol, s/he will be advised by the physician to avoid these habits before as well as after the procedure. Drinking and smoking cause restriction in the blood vessels which affects the blood flow. As a result, the ability of blood carrying oxygen gets abridged. This will further lead to lack of nutrients’ supply to the hair follicles that is required for healthy growth of hair.

For taking care of your hair after the surgery, make sure to adopt a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins and proteins. Also, wash your hair and keep it clean as well as avoid stress for having healthy hair all through your life.
