Myths and Facts about Hair transplant

Hello everybody! My name is Dr. Shreyans Mutha from All India Institue of Medical Sciences. Today, we are going to discuss few things about hair transplant.

There are lots of people who are becoming bald, and have lot of problems regarding hair transplant. In brief, in a short video, we are going to discuss few important things about hair transplant. The most important thing about hair transplant, what makes it successful is the concept of Donor Dominance. We get hair from here, they are testosterone resistant so they don’t fall away, you might have seen your grandfather or uncles that they have hair here, so these hair follicles are taken and these are implanted here. So the main hormone testosterone don’t act on these hair follicles and doesn’t cause thinning so it will have a prolonged amount of years with these transplanted hairs. There are a lot of myths which are related to hair transplant. People start thinking that it might lead to brain damage, it might lead to prolonged pain, it might lead to area of prolonged headache, and these all things are not true. These are all myths.

The things which are true about hair transplant is that you can have a transient amount of swelling, you can have transient pain, which stays for a period of 7-10 days. some people might have parasthesias which means an altered sensation. Altered sensation means that like a mild pain, this might persist and this is due to healing of nerves. So this also subscribes within a period of 4-6 weeks. After this there are no problems associated. Many parents come to us, they are concerned about their kids, people themselves the concern, what are the long term effects of hair transplant but many patients they don’t have any long term effects as such. If it is done properly and done by a certified doctor who is well-experienced in hair transplant. Another important thing that many patients are concerned is what is the right age for hair transplant? So, there is no proper age to undergo, you can even go for a hair transplant at the age of 18, age of 20 and even at the age of 50.

So, the time you feel that your scalp is getting bald, and you feel uncomfortable with your look, that is the time you should be undergoing a hair transplant. Even, at the age of 20 for all parents and all young people, I would like to tell them there are no side effects at all even at the young age. the next 20 years, the age from 20-40 are the most crucial phase of a person’s life. So this is the time, you need to enjoy good amount of hair, and you can easily undergo a hair transplant. Another important aspect of doing a good hair transplant is the expertise of the surgeon. There are two important things, the density the doctor is giving you and how natural your hairline looks. These two aspects make a good hair transplant successful and patients like these kinds of hair transplant.

If you have a good density and the hair looks artificial then the purpose of doing a good hair transplant is lost. So these two things, density and a natural look give a very good result after a hair transplant. You can contact us on the website or the email address or the telephone numbers given below.
