The first hair transplant was done in the US in 1952. Since then, it has evolved both in terms of technique and safety. Even the outcome is more natural now than it was in the earlier days. So, is it true that hair transplants possess no risk at all? Is every hair transplant successful?

Trust Kaayakalp for your FUE hair transplant in Behala. We use the latest equipment and techniques. Our team of surgeons is the most renowned.

Is FUE safe?

Follicular Unit Excision or FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant procedure. It is the most advanced technology for hair transplant in Behala. But it would be a blatant lie on our part if we said it is 100% safe. No, it isn’t.

Like any other cosmetic surgery or surgical treatment, FUE hair transplant in Behala also involves certain risks. Having said that, it is also important to note that the risks are minimal. If the proper protocol and sanitization guidelines are maintained, the risks of an FUE procedure are almost nil. Hence, it is necessary that a qualified professional do your hair transplant surgery. This minimizes the chances of any risks or complications. Even the environment of the clinic is an important factor to consider. Does the clinic maintain standard hygiene for all its procedures? Do the staff abide by the safety guidelines? How well is the sterilization done in the operation theatres? What is the chance of contracting an infection from the clinic?

Keep in mind all of the above factors. If you notice any discrepancy in them in any hair transplant clinic, we advise you to stay away from them.

At Kaayakalp, we ensure to give you a 100% safe environment and procedure. That is why we employ only tested sterilization procedures and chemicals. Visit us for a safe hair transplant procedure in Behala.

What can go wrong with FUE?

A lot can go wrong with FUE if your surgeon is not well-versed with the procedure. For conducting an FUE hair transplant, a surgeon needs to be highly experienced and skilled.

These are the things that can go wrong with an FUE hair transplant:

  1. Infection:

Infection of the hair follicles is the most common side effect of an FUE hair transplant. It can happen either in the donor area or the recipient area or both. It can even involve the whole scalp.

But it happens only when proper disinfection is not done before the procedure. That is why proper attention has to be given to sterilization of the instruments, the machines, and the room where the procedure will be done. At Kaayakalp, proper sanitization is done before every hair transplant procedure in Behala. There is no chance of cross-infection since we autoclave all instruments after a single use. We discard all needles and syringes after a single use.

  1. Bumps on the scalp:

Sometimes, there is a local infection. This manifests as boils or abscesses on the scalp. These give rise to an uneven and bumpy texture of the scalp. You can notice pus oozing from these areas. Please consult your hair transplant surgeon in Behala if you notice oozing from the scalp. They will prescribe you appropriate medication for the same.

Bumps can even arise due to the collection of blood in those areas. One of the main factors that cause this is alcohol. Alcohol increases blood flow by widening the blood vessels. Therefore, we advise you to stop alcohol consumption a week before your FUE hair transplant in Behala.

It is also important for you to understand that slight swelling, pain, tenderness, or even oozing is normal. Your surgeon will hand you a list of dos and don’ts after your FUE hair transplant in Behala. Follow them thoroughly and you should expect no further discomfort. They will also prescribe medication for pain, swelling, and infection. Please buy only the named medicines. Do not buy anything that your local chemist provides as an alternative to these.

Redness, pain, and swelling on the scalp usually last for a maximum of 7-10 days. If they last longer or if the symptoms increase after 10 days, consult your hair surgeon immediately.

  1. Bleeding:

The first advice your surgeon gives you during a consultation is to stop certain medications 7-10 days before your FUE hair transplant. This list includes blood-thinning drugs such as aspirin. This is because it becomes difficult to control the bleeding during your surgery. Heavy bleeding from the scalp is a complication we do not want. This is something that can go very wrong with your hair transplant surgery in Behala.

  1. Extensive scarring:

One of the main upsides of an FUE hair transplant over FUT is less scar prominence. With an FUE hair transplant in Behala, the scars are minimal. They are usually pinpoint scars that appear as whitish dots. Within 3-6 weeks, these tiny scars appear almost normal and do not look like scars at all. Hair from surrounding areas covers these scars. However, if your hair loss continues, the scars may remain visible. Moreover, if a large number of hair grafts are excised by FUE, the donor area may show several whitish scars. Your scalp may show whitish spots all over.

Another factor to consider is the formation of keloids or hypertrophic scars. These happen especially in individuals who are naturally predisposed to them. A small scar on the body and keloids form. This can happen on the scalp also. You may opt for scar revision later if this happens.

  1. Hair loss:

The hair grafts that are transplanted are genetically resistant to baldness. But sometimes, these hair follicles may become dormant. This means that hair may be present inside the follicle. But they may not grow further. Sometimes, you may experience hair loss in other parts of the scalp. In that case, you may have to opt for second hair transplant surgery in Behala.

Do not mistake this with shock hair loss. Shock hair loss happens 2-4 weeks after your hair transplant in Behala. The transplanted hair falls off during this phase. This is normal. Don’t stress about it. Within 2-6 months, your new hair will grow.

  1. Unsatisfactory results:

Hair transplant results are fully visible after 6 months to 1 year of the surgery. But the outcome may not be satisfactory. This is because your hair loss may still be progressing. The transplanted hair may look fake, although this happens in almost zero percent of all cases.

In either case, you can opt for a revision hair transplant in Behala for a better outcome.

FAQs

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure which involves taking the hair follicular unit from the back and side of the head ("donor area") and planting them to the areas undergoing hair loss or thinning. A follicular unit consists of one, two or three hair strands along with their hair root (follicle). Each follicular unit or graft is cut out individually under the microscope/ magnification and transplanted into the minute incisions made by needles at the affected area. This latest technique is also known as the follicular unit micro-grafting.

How long does a hair transplant procedure take?

Depending on the degree of baldness a session may require a grafting of about 700 to 3,000 hair follicular units which takes about 6 hours to 10 hours of surgery on an outpatient basis. Most patients will arrive in the morning and will have their procedure completed by evening. View a step by step overview of a typical hair transplant procedure.

What can be done if I had a less than satisfactory or disappointing hair transplant results?

Some of the patients may not get the expected results, this is because each individual react differently to tissue injury and has different levels of capacity to heal, allowing the hair follicular unit to grow normally. If you have had an unsatisfactory hair transplant you can have a revision hair transplant.

Will my hair transplant look completely natural?

A hair transplant when done rightly can look so completely natural that even your hair stylist will not know that you've had it done. It's important to choose the right procedure and the clinic which assures you a complete natural look. The hair transplant procedure that we recommend is called "Follicular Unit Transplant" (FUT).

Are the results permanent?

When will my newly transplanted hair start to grow?

What does a hair transplant cost?

Today most clinics charge an average of Rs.50/- to Rs.80/- per hair follicular unit, so the total possible expenses actually depend on the degree of baldness; you can have an estimate only after consultation. Some clinics may charge you by the session (sittings) and multiple sittings may be required until you are satisfied with the thickness of the hair growth.

Does the hair transplant procedure hurt?

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal pain and discomfort after the local anesthesia in the donor and recipient areas. Following surgery patients will feel some amount of discomfort, numbness and soreness which require oral medication.
