<P>It is mostly used to treat <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com">male pattern baldness</a></span> but in some cases it is used to restore eyebrows, eyelashes, beard hair, chest hair and pubic hair.

<P>Our hair grows in follicles that contain grouping of 1 to 4 hairs, with the most advanced technique these are naturally transplanted in their natural groupings.

<P>Strip excision harvesting is the most common technique for removing hair and follicles from donor site and FUE is the latest one . The advantages of FUE are that it does not leave a linear scar and there is little or no postoperative pain and discomfort.

Not even bed rest or hospitalization is required after hair transplantation. The day after the surgery the patient usually returns in the normal condition.</P><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P>Follicular Unit Extraction is a Hair Transplant Technique which is widely use by Hair Surgeon. Follicular unit extraction, also known as follicular transfer, is one of two primary methods of obtaining follicular units, naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs, for hair transplantation. In FUE harvesting, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the hair restoration patient&#8217;s donor area, ideally one at a time. This differs from strip-harvesting because, in strip harvesting, a strip of skin is removed from the patient and then dissected into many individual follicular units.</P><br />
<P>In Follicular unit extraction, a small round punch is used to extract follicular units from a patient&#8217;s bald resistant donor areas. These 1, 2, 3 and 4 hair follicular unit grafts are then transplanted into a patient&#8217;s balding areas.</P><br />
<P>During the Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE procedure individual follicular unit grafts are excised one at a time using a tiny one millimeter or less sized punch. Typically the patient&#8217;s hair in the donor area where these grafts are being removed is cut short so that the surgeon is able to see the patient&#8217;s scalp.</P></p>

<P><STRONG>Hair transplantation</STRONG> is a surgical procedure which moves hair follicles from the donor site of the body to the balding parts. It&#8217;s most common use is seen in <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com">male pattern baldness</a></span> but as it is gaining popularity, this technique is used in restoration of eyebrows and lashes too. In some cases, beards, chest hair are transplanted when the patient wants to hide some scar.</P><br />
<P>Since this is a cosmetic surgery, it has become almost an established myth that that <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG> is an expensive procedure. It is true that when you pay the bills it is quite a hefty amount. But when you look at its long term benefits, you will find it worth money spent. You invest once on <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG> and enjoy the benefit of hair regrowth for the rest of your life.</P><br />
<P>According to another popular misconception is that it is a very painful process. But you can ask yourself to name one surgical procedure that is not painful. However, with medical advancements, there are different technologies implemented today that can successfully reduce the pain that is associated with the <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG>. The process is carried out under anesthesia. The scalp is anesthetized with small needles.</P><br />
<P>People often think that anyone can go for this procedure. This is also a myth. For <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG>, you must have a proper donor area with sufficient hair growth from where grafting can be done. At the same time, a healthy scalp is equally important for a successful transplantation.</P><br />
<P>It is another myth that in <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG>, someone else&#8217;s hair is used. As a matter of fact, healthy hair from one part of your body is grafted on the balding patch of the scalp. You can rest assured that transplantation gives you a head with healthy hair not someone else&#8217;s dandruff. It doesn&#8217;t require maintenance either. You can carry on with usual hair care regime. However, you will now surely want to take care of newly grown hair more than ever before.</P><br />
<P>Now that you are equipped with the correct information on <STRONG>hair transplantation</STRONG>, go ahead and take the plunge. Balding is not the dead end. You can look beyond it.</P></p>

<p>It certainly seems wonderful to have enough hair back on our scalp, to have the impressive look back, and to get back many other such benefits. However, all such things are subjected to your having successful and safe hair transplantation. Since there is the likelihood of getting some undesirable results after hair transplants, you should know them well in advance. Here we deal with this matter truthfully, without tilting our opinion in any direction.</p>
<p>Hair transplants, like any other surgery, come with many risks and possible side effects. Potential surgical and post-surgical medical complications arising from this surgery do exist; this you should know. When we go deeper into this matter and find out how the people who have gone through this surgery feel about this procedure, we get a more unbiased and trustable conclusion.</p>
<p>People, who took the pain to study this matter, surveyed and observed for about one year the people who have had hair transplantation surgery. The study found some people not satisfied with one thing or the other. The complications they found include enlarged scarring, hair follicles inflammation and even infection, excessive bleeding, hiccups, dying of hair follicles, pyogenic granuloma, etc.</p>
<p>Many other side effects that can be noted include weak hair growth, slow healing in the scar, tension and numbness in the scalp, and some other things of such caliber. Moreover, complaints like hyper-pigmentation of the area, cysts and pimples formation, swelling and sometimes pain are also noticed in many cases that happened as post-surgery side effects.</p>
<p><strong>What should be Done to Minimize the Risks &#038; Side Effects</strong></p>
<p>1. Good communication between the surgeon and patient is essential.</p>
<p>2. The potential patient must go through a proper clinical and laboratory analyses.</p>
<p>3. Most relevant and accurate surgical techniques should be used.</p>
<p>4. All the equipment involved should be up to date.</p>
<p>5. Above all, the surgeon must have enough qualification, experience, and he or she should be a well-trained individual who should take care of the patient from every angle.</p>
<p>6. Finally, the patient must understand what his responsibility is and follow the instructions without fail.</p>
<p>Many complications of hair transplantation can be controlled if certain aspects are taken care of. Hair transplants should be a pleasant matter, it must not be something that makes a situation worse.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of yet, modern medicine has not been able to come up with a cure for <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com">male pattern baldness</a></span>. They&#8217;ve tried-that much is for certain. Occasionally, they&#8217;ve been able to come up with products that can slow and even slightly reverse the effects of MPB in some men. But for every Propecia or Rogaine, there are a hundred products that promise the world and deliver absolutely nothing. Fortunately, there is still hope for men who miss their old hairline. That answer comes in the form of a procedure that many ill-informed men have already dismissed: hair transplantation.<BR><BR>Those whose only memory of hair transplantation is of the horror stories of the 70s and 80s need to take another look at the advancements that have been made in the field. They are judging a highly specialized and modern take on the procedure by pictures and stories from the field&#8217;s infancy. It would be like deciding whether or not to have heart surgery based on stories from the Civil War. As long as you can find a reputable doctor, there is little to no chance you will walk out of your procedure with the &#8220;doll-hair&#8221; look that so many people fear. <BR><BR>Today, the best hair transplantation looks completely natural. The best technique in use today is the FUT standard. This procedure involves taking a strip of tissue from the back and sides of the head. This hair is naturally resistant to DHT, which is the major cause of male pattern baldness. What happens then is the surgeon takes this tissue and dissects it carefully into separate follicle units. Doctors refer to these units as grafts, each of which should contain somewhere between one and four hairs. It should be noted that the best results come from using the smallest grafts possible. <BR><BR>As the grafts are being prepared for the hair transplantation, the surgeon uses a miniscule blade or a needle to create the holes in which the follicles will go. The placement will depend on the patient&#8217;s desires and the best place for a natural hairline to grow. Typically, this area is either to improve the front hairline or to cover a bald spot at the top of the head. Sometimes, both places are used for the best overall effect. This part of the procedure must be done carefully to ensure the most natural looking hair at the end of the process. At that point, the actual insertion of the donor hair may begin. <BR><BR>Hair transplantation has come along way in recent years. Not everyone is a good candidate for the procedure, however, so interested individuals should research facilities in their area and set up a consultation to find out their options.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><BR>Step One: Consultation<BR>During the consultation, the exact extent of your baldness and quality of your hair will be assessed. The number of grafts required and where they will be placed is planned. Cyclic medicine treatment for 2-4 months is usually recommended to strengthen the donor hair roots. This treatment is proven to improve the result of hair transplantation.<BR><BR>Step Two: Preoperative Evaluation<BR>After 2-4 months of cyclic medicine therapy Hair Transplantation procedure can be planned. Routine blood tests are advised. You will be given the consent forms for signing and will be given detailed preoperative instructions in writing. <BR><BR>Step Three: Surgery<BR>You report at the clinic on the morning of surgery. You will need to have light breakfast and hair wash before coming to clinic.<BR><BR>At clinic donor hair area at the back of the head is marked and that strip like area is shaved <BR>Antiseptic hair wash is given. Then you are shifted to operation area where you first lie on your stomach on operation table. Local anaesthesia is injected in the head skin for painless removal of hair strip. Then a strip of scalp (head skin) including the hair growing on it, is removed (cut out). The gap is closed with hidden buried stitches. In the end there is a line like scar . But there are no stitches to be removed and no bald area.<BR><BR>The donor skin strip containing hair is processes by trained assistants . Hair follicles are dissected making individual hair follicles ready for transplanting.<BR><BR>After this you lie comfortably on table on your back or in reclining position. Once again local anaesthesia is injected into the forehead to make your procedure painless. Then individual follicles are planted into the bald area or in between the hair in balding area. Tiny holes are created with injection needle and hair follicle is planted into the holes one by one.<BR>The whole procedure can take 3-6 hrs or more depending on the number of grafts used. You are allowed breaks for lunch and for restroom. You are conscious and comfortable during the procedure. You can sleep off , watch TV or listen to music during the surgery.<BR><BR>Step Four: After Surgery<BR>You can wear cap to protect the grafts from dust. A small dressing will be there on the back of your head which you can remove yourself after 2 days. There will nor be any head bandage. You look practically same as before except the tiny hair roots and scabs on the grafted area. You can leave soon after surgery in a car/cab. You will be given list of antibiotics and pain tablets for 5 days along with care instructions.<BR><BR>Step Five: Recovery and Final Result<BR>Pain is moderate to minimal after surgery .There is some swelling on forehead and around the eyes for 2-3 days .The donor area on the back does not require any stitch removal or special care. It is not apparent to others . Only telltale sign of hair transplantation is small tiny spots (scabs) at the grafted bald area of head. You can either wear a cap to avoid questions or else stay at home for 10 days, by which time the scabs fall off and head looks completely natural. New hair is very small (just a few millimeters) so you look as before surgery. These implanted hair fall off in a couple of weeks. The implanted roots are intact and they start growing new hair after completion of 4 months. Then the new hair grows longer at the rate of 1 cm (averagely) per month. As each hair grows longer and thicker the overlap of adjacent hair gives appearance of increasing density. Final look and density is achieved by the end of one year.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baldness, either in men or women, can be taken as a sign of old age, unattractiveness, and infertility. Although none of these signs may be true, clinical studies have shown that <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com/go/hairlossblueprint2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hair loss</a></span> is a cause of low self-esteem and low self-confidence in men. <br />About 70% of men and 50% of women experience some degree of hair loss in their lifetime. Causes of hair loss come from several factors, but mostly from these three &#8211; genes, hormones, and age.</p>
<p>In the past, men have gone to desperate measures in trying to cover up their hair loss. Hair restoration has vastly improved in recent years. Among the several options used for hair restoration now, hair transplantation is emerging as the most effective and ultimate solution for baldness.</p>
<p>On average, a person sheds and regrows about 50 &#8211; 100 hairs a day. A mix of emotional turmoil, medication, poor nutrition, and illness may cause excessive daily shedding. However, these factors are often temporary, and hair growth should continue once these factors have ended. <br />Researchers have shown that around 80% of bald men are preoccupied about their hair loss, and men who begin to lose their hair in their early twenties are more likely to suffer from extremely low self-esteem. Permanent hair loss comes from hair follicles that become thinner and weaker. <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com">male pattern baldness</a></span> is scientifically called Androgenetic Alopecia, which is caused by genes, hormones, and age.</p>
<p>How Is It Done?</p>
<p>Hair transplantation is a minor outpatient surgery that simply relocates existing hair follicles from the donor site to the balding area. The procedure first begins with the surgeon removing a donor strip from the donor site, which is often located on the back or side of the scalp. <br />During the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to relieve any discomfort. Our doctor will remove a strip of skin from the donor area and close the opening with self-absorbable sutures. The donor strip is further cut into 3 sizes of grafts &#8211; the micro graft, the single follicular unit, and the modified follicular unit. The single hair follicular unit has 1 hair; single follicular unit has about 2 hairs; and the modified follicular unit has 2 to 4 hairs. The surgical technicians then isolate individual hair follicles from the donor strip, and implant them to the graft region.<br /> The grafts are inserted into pre-cut micro and mini slits that are strategically designed to aesthetically improve the density of your existing hair, lower the hairline, and fill in balding areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hair transplantation is a surgical option for many men that are losing their hair gradually, or an expedited rate. The surgery is usually a very well accepted option to getting hair in spots that are thinning or have completely gone away. This surgical technique involves moving skin that contains hair from part of the body to a bald or balding spot. It is used in conjunction with <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://www.malepatternbaldnessblog.com">male pattern baldness</a></span>, whether light or severe. The procedure has grown in popularity, while the price has consistently gone down over the years. There are several things to consider, like with any other surgical solution, but it has not only become safer, it really isn&#8217;t too complicated of a solution.</p>
<p>The hair comes from a donor spot on the patient&#8217;s body. The doctor takes hair that is genetically resistant to balding, and then grafts it to the balding area. The hair is naturally grown by the patient and transplanted into their own body, so it&#8217;s not synthetic or someone else&#8217;s hair. Some people think that hair transplantation is similar to skin grafting or other forms of grafting involving burn victims or surgical reconstruction. The main difference between the two, other than the obvious ones, is that hair follicles have tiny grafts that are transplanted rather than single strips of skin.</p>
<p>Cost is definitely a factor in fixing baldness and getting transplants. Years ago, these processes cost much more than it is today. The price has significantly dropped in recent years with more people getting this sort of treatment. The total cost has been touted as being less than $1500 for about 5000 grafts. The procedure can balloon, depending on the patient and doctor. Like any other medical procedure, a doctor&#8217;s consultation can answer price costs and see if it is within the patients budget to get this type of out patient surgery.</p>
<p>Before a patient goes forward with this type of medical solution they need a consultation. Before going under the knife, the surgeon analyzes the patient&#8217;s scalp, and will discuss with them what the best approach is for their baldness. Results vary from patient to patient, and prior to surgery the patient must refrain from using any kind of medicine, alcohol, or anything that might result in excess bleeding and ruin the grafts. Antibiotics are also given to the patient before the procedure to prevent infections from the grafts that are to be placed in the scalp.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;re balding severely, have moderate pattern baldness, or just really thinning out you might want to consider hair transplantation, as it is a cost effective way to help yourself look and feel better. There is no reason for baldness to be the last word in your physical appearance, and if you don&#8217;t want to go with the &#8220;bald&#8221; look, then you don&#8217;t have to settle. Get yourself at least a consultation with a trained professional, and make sure that this type of outpatient procedure is right for you. This is not something you should take lightly, consider your options carefully, and move forward.</p>
