Side effects of FUT hair transplant:

The first thing that you need to know is that a hair transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. This means that the surgery is simple and not too complicated. That being said, we should also tell you that, even though minimally invasive, it is still an operation. Hence, it does come with a few risks of side effects and complications. We will list down some of the side effects of FUT hair transplant:

  • Loss of sensation around the operated areas of the scalp
  • Pain on the scalp around the donor and recipient areas
  • Swelling on the scalp
  • Redness of the donor area and the recipient area of the scalp
  • Itching on the scalp
  • Scab formation on the scalp

Your hair transplant surgeon in Salt Lake will hand you down a list of dos and don’ts. If you follow them thoroughly, the side effects will not be much of a botheration for you. But you will have to take medication as per his/her prescription. Do not buy over-the-counter drugs for pain relief or infection prevention. Even though they may have the same composition, generic drugs are not as effective as branded ones.

Complications of FUT hair transplants:

These include the major side effects following a hair transplant procedure. The complications of FUT hair transplants are:

  • Excessive bleeding from the surgical sites
  • Folliculitis - a medical term that means infection of the hair follicles

What can go wrong with FUT hair transplantation?

Do not get us wrong. We are not trying to demoralize you. But we believe in sending out the correct message to our patients and potential clients. Our honesty in our practice field makes us one of the leading hair transplant clinics in Salt Lake. There is a lot of misconception regarding hair transplantation. By pointing out the exact issues, we can help you differentiate between the right and wrong facts. At the same time, you can get free of the fear and stigma you have in your mind about a hair transplant in Salt Lake.

Now, what can go wrong with a FUT hair transplant in Salt Lake? Here we will list down those points:

  • FUT scarring:

In our previous articles, we have mentioned detailed procedures of how a FUT hair transplant in Salt Lake is done. Summarizing it, a FUT hair transplant involves cutting out a strip of the donor area. This strip contains active hair follicles. These hair follicles can give rise to new hair growth. Hence, this strip is transplanted onto the bald area of the scalp, known as the recipient area. Now, there will always be a scar in the donor area since a strip is cut off from it. Usually, the surrounding hairs around the area grow and cover the scar. so, the scar is not visible.

Now, what can go wrong is that the scar may be too prominent. If you decide to keep your hair short, it will pronounce itself even more.

Using the latest technical instruments, the scar is minimum. Therefore, it seamlessly adjusts itself to the natural skin colour of the scalp. At Kaayakalp, the leading hair transplant clinic in Salt Lake, we use only the latest technology.

  • Shock hair loss:

This is a common phenomenon. You have nothing to worry about it. Usually, between 2 weeks to a month, new hairs in the recipient area fall off. This is natural. After 2-3 months, you will notice new hair growing from that area again. Between 6-18 months, you will be able to see the final results of your hair transplant in Salt Lake.

  • Displeasing outlook:

Hair transplants give natural-looking hair. This means that unless you disclose your surgery, no one will be able to know. But sometimes, the hair transplant may look fake as in olden times. This especially happens when hair from other parts of the body is used for the hair transplant procedure. That is why we always prefer using scalp hair over body hair for a hair transplant in Salt Lake.

  • Poor results:

This is very rare. The transplanted hair follicles contain hair at the base. But they remain dormant. Hence, new hairs do not arise in the recipient area. We will deal with this topic more elaborately in later articles.

Does the FUT donor area grow back? 

In FUT, a part of the donor area is excised. Hence, there remains no follicle in the area. So, the FUT donor area does not grow back. However, the suturing after the procedure is done in a way that brings the surrounding areas closer. Therefore, when hair grows in the surrounding areas, it effectively covers the donor area and the scar.

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.

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.
