At Aesthetics Abroad we are dedicated to explain the complex and transformative procedure of hair implant surgery. Hair implant surgery is a form of hair restoration that involves transplanting hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another to improve hair fullness and thickness.
Hair implant surgery is a highly effective procedure for those experiencing hair loss or thinning, and can provide long-lasting results. There are various techniques used in hair implant surgery, each tailored to the individual needs and desired outcome of the patient.
These techniques include punch grafts, mini-grafts, micro-grafts, slit grafts, strip grafts, flaps, tissue-expansion, and scalp-reduction. Our team of skilled and experienced surgeons will work with you to determine the best technique for your specific case.
Punch grafts involve removing small circular sections of skin containing multiple hair follicles from a donor area and grafting them onto the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. Mini-grafts, micro-grafts, and slit grafts involve taking smaller sections of skin, each containing one to three hair follicles, and transplanting them in a similar manner.
Strip grafts, also known as follicular unit transplantation (FUT), involve removing a strip of skin from the donor area and dividing it into smaller sections containing individual hair follicles to be transplanted onto the scalp. This technique allows for a larger number of follicles to be transplanted in a single session, making it ideal for those with more extensive hair loss.
Flaps involve moving a section of hair-bearing scalp from one side of the head to the other, while a scalp-reduction involves surgically removing part of the balding scalp and pulling the remaining hair-bearing scalp closer together to cover the area.
Tissue-expansion involves using a balloon-like device placed under the scalp to stretch and grow additional skin for transplantation. This technique is often used for those with larger areas of baldness. During the consultation process, our surgeons will evaluate the condition and extent of hair loss, as well as hair density and quality, to determine the best course of action for your individual needs.
We understand that hair loss can significantly impact one’s self-esteem, confidence and overall quality of life. Our team is committed to providing exceptional care and support throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation through post-operative follow-ups. We are dedicated to helping you achieve the full, thick, and natural-looking head of hair that you desire.
On arrival to your treatment destination, you will be required to attend your initial appointment with the doctor and his team of experts to assess and plan your surgery options. This includes an examination of your eye/s and meeting with the doctor. Generally, the entire process is completed in 3 appointments.
Initial consult
The first step of the hair implant treatment process is a FREE consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon, at Aesthetics Abroad we can establish this process for you. During this initial consultation, the surgeon will assess your hair loss and examine your scalp to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. We may need to have these assessments underway whilst you are at your home country therefore, we are progressing towards your treatment plan. During the consultation space, you will also have a chance to discuss your expectations and ask any questions you may have.
Pre-operative Instructions
Before your procedure, you will receive detailed pre-operative instructions from your surgeon. These may include avoiding certain medications and vitamins, washing your hair with a special shampoo, and abstaining from alcohol or smoking.
Procedure and Anesthesia
On the day of your procedure, your surgeon will administer local anesthesia to numb the scalp, ensuring that you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.
Donor Hair Removal
The next step is the removal of donor hair from the back or sides of your head. This hair is genetically programmed to resist hair loss, making it suitable for transplantation to areas of thinning or balding hair.
Preparation of the Donor Hair
After the donor hair is removed, it will be trimmed and prepared for transplantation. The surgeon will sort and group the hairs into grafts, ensuring they are of the correct size and structure for transplantation.
Making Recipient Sites
Using a specialized tool, your surgeon will create tiny incisions or holes in the designated areas of your scalp where the hair will be implanted.
Implantation of Hair Grafts
The prepared hair grafts are then carefully placed into the recipient sites, ensuring a natural and aesthetic hairline. This process may take several hours, depending on the number of grafts needed.
Aftercare Instructions
After the hair implant procedure is completed, your surgeon will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. These may include information about how to care for your newly implanted hair, any medication you may need to take, and when to schedule your first follow-up appointment.
Follow-up Appointments: It is generally recommended approximately 10-14 days after the procedure, you will have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to remove any stitches and ensure that your scalp is healing well.
You will also have follow-up appointments at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months to monitor the growth and health of your new hair. At Aesthetics Abroad we are happy to facilitate that via online platforms available therefore you don’t need to travel abroad again, and we also have medical staff/nursers available for in person consultation when needed in Australia.
Results: Hair transplant results take time to fully develop. Most patients will see initial growth at around 3-4 months, with more significant results at 8-12 months. Your surgeon will monitor your progress and ensure that you are happy with your new hair.
After getting a hair implant, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon.
