Hair Transplant
Performed by qualified Plastic Surgeons under the most stringent clinical conditions.
The key to restoring hair permanently is to grow your own hair back naturally. “Guaranteed for life!”
The Hair Transplant procedure is performed by qualified Plastic Surgeons under the most stringent clinical conditions.
After routine preparations, of the donor site and recipient site healthy grafts of your hair will be transferred to thinning or bald areas and regrow as they did in the past.
Hair transplant Surgery.....how it work?
When performed by experts, hair transplantation is easy for the patient but requires that the surgeon have artistic skills. The process begins with an evaluation of the donor area. This area at the back and sides of the head contain healthy hair follicles that are genetically programmed to continue to grow. Sufficient donor hair is needed for successful hair transplantation. A small section of hair-bearing tissue is removed from the donor area and is dissected into individual follicular units and micro-grafts. Once the preparation of the grafts has been completed, an artistic strategy is used to place the grafts into the thinning and balding areas. Single hair follicles are placed at precise angles in the frontal area to create a natural-looking hairline. More follicular grafts and micro-grafts are placed immediately behind the hairline to provide density and volume to cover the larger balding areas.
Our Plastic Surgeons use artistry to customize the design of each hair transplant so that it looks natural. The placement of the grafts should closely resemble your naturally growing hair
Patient Comfort
Compared to most other cosmetic surgery, hair transplantation is a comfortable and easy treatment for the patient. Even so, we continually strive to improve all aspects of the procedure, from surgical technique to patient aftercare.
Are you a candidate for Hair Transplantation?
Our expert consultants will inform you of the various HairOptions available to you, and after a thorough evaluation will recommend the correct procedure for you. However, the final decision to proceed with hair transplantation will be yours with the help of your HairOption consultant and finally if need be the Plastic Surgeon.
In determining your candidacy, we will consider the following:
- Number of grafts required to meet your expectations
- Amount of donor’s hair available to work with
- The density of the donor’s hair
- Colour of your hair
- The texture of your hair
- Future hair loss projections
- Expected result
- Expected total cost for the number of procedures required
During your evaluation, we can sometimes make use of a video microscope to differentiate between genetically compromised hairs, miniaturized hairs and those that will stay for life. Only after a thorough evaluation of the above will a decision be made to proceed with the hair transplantation procedure. In some cases where the candidate is not suitable, HairOptions will have other options available.
