FUE Hair Transplant Turkey

FUE Hair Transplant Turkey

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern hair restoration technique popular in Turkey that is minimally invasive and aims to restore natural-looking hair density in individuals experiencing hair loss. This method involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area on the back of the head and transplanting them to areas of thinning hair or baldness. FUE Hair Transplant is a reliable and safe option for patients who want to restore their hair and boost their self-esteem.

One of the advantages of an FUE Hair Transplant is that it allows for a natural-looking and dense hairline as the hair follicles are implanted one by one. Moreover, the procedure can suit each patient's unique hair loss pattern and goals. The recovery time is relatively short; patients can usually resume their daily activities within a few days after the procedure.

FUE Hair Transplant Turkey Before & After Results

What is FUE Hair Transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant method that is minimally invasive. It entails extracting individual hair follicles from a donor region and transplanting them to a recipient area. The extraction procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia in a few hours, depending on the extent of hair loss and the number of follicles to be transplanted.

During an FUE hair transplant, a specialized tool is used to extract hair follicles from the back or sides of the scalp, the donor area, where hair is more resistant to balding. The extracted follicles are then carefully prepared under a microscope and implanted into tiny incisions in the recipient area, where new hair growth is desired.

FUE is also a more precise and customizable procedure, allowing for more natural-looking results and the ability to create a more natural hairline. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure and can return to normal activities within a few days.


FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant procedure begins with a thorough examination and diagnosis of the individual's hair loss pattern. Based on this assessment, the best approach for the transplant is determined, considering factors like hair density, donor area availability, and overall hair health. The planning phase involves outlining the transplant design and the number of grafts needed.

During the procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient site, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome. Post-procedure care and follow-up appointments are essential to monitor the progress and optimize the results.

PROS & CONS

Cons are only possible downsides of the treatment, and should not be considered definite.

PROS

FUE hair transplant is especially beneficial for individuals who like to keep their hair very short, as there won't be noticeable scars.

FUE promotes faster healing in the area where hair follicles are extracted, contributing to a more rapid recovery.

Unlike some other methods, FUE allows patients to resume intense physical activities sooner after the surgery.
CONS

FUE has limitations on the number of grafts in one session, and it usually costs more than traditional methods. The procedure can take longer, affecting the quality and growth of the grafts.

Each FUE session adds new scars. If you have multiple sessions, the number of scars increases, making scarring more visible.

FUE makes it harder to get a good density of hair, affecting how well the hair grows. The quality of the grafts might not be as good as with traditional methods.

Healing Process

After the FUE hair transplant, taking good care of the transplanted hair is crucial to ensure successful hair growth. Most patients can return to normal activities one week after the procedure. However, it may take several months to a year to see full hair growth and for the transplanted hair to settle naturally.

One of the essential aspects of FUE hair transplant aftercare is shampooing. Experts recommend shampooing hair daily, starting the day after the operation. Gentle washing helps to remove any scabs or crusts that may have formed on the scalp, which can hinder hair growth. Patients should avoid using hot water and vigorous scrubbing during washing as this can damage the newly transplanted hair follicles.

It is also essential to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, sweat, and wearing hats for at least two weeks after the procedure. Patients should follow the instructions provided by their surgeon for proper aftercare to ensure a successful FUE hair transplant.

Common Post-procedure Reactions

After your hair transplant surgery, you might experience some pain, especially in the donor area and where hairs have been implanted. This discomfort is often described as a graze-like pain but is usually not severe. In the initial days, especially on the evening and the day following the surgery, you may feel pain.

It's normal to experience some swelling, typically in the forehead, which can last for 2-6 days. In rare cases, the swelling may involve the eyelid, causing a delay in returning to work.

Bleeding can occur immediately after the transplant, especially at the back of the head where hair follicles were extracted. Itching is a common side effect, usually starting a few days after the surgery, affecting the donor and graft areas. It's crucial not to scratch, as it can harm the new follicles.

Crusts, appearing as scabs, may develop in both the donor and implanted areas due to dried blood and fluids. It's important not to pick at these crusts to avoid damaging the transplanted grafts. Overall, these side effects are temporary and part of the healing process after a hair transplant surgery.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

After undergoing a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, patients may wonder when they can get a haircut. Experts suggest waiting at least two weeks after the procedure before getting a haircut. This waiting period allows the newly transplanted hair to settle properly into the scalp and reduces the risk of damaging the grafts during the haircut. It is also advised to avoid aggressive hair styling or coloring for the first few weeks after the transplant.

A suitable FUE hair transplant candidate should have the following criteria: * An adequate donor hair supply, * A stable hair loss pattern, * Realistic expectations * Good overall health, * No existing medical conditions that could complicate the surgery * Age, sex, and hair type that are not necessarily limiting factors.
