 Just
when you think you have
found the solution to
your problems with
balding, you might
discover that hair
transplant surgery is
not for everyone. It is
discouraging, but do not
give up hope until you
investigate to find out
if you are a possible
candidate. You may be
surprised.
The most important thing
to remember is that you
need hair for the hair
transplant to your
balding areas. The hair
has to come from
somewhere on your body.
Wherever you take the
hair from is called the
donor site. There can be
different donor sites
for different people.
The most common donor
site for hair transplant
surgery is on the head.
If the sides and back of
your head have full
lustrous hair, you are
in luck. This hair can
be used as donor hair to
replace hair you have
lost on your balding
spots. If your hair in
these areas is not
healthy, you face a
difficult problem -
where does the surgeon
get the hair?
A new procedure allows
doctors to use donor
hair from other parts of
the body. For example,
if a man has a
particularly hairy
chest, some hair can be
used from that area as
donor hair for the head.
This hair transplant
procedure requires a
surgeon skilled in the
latest techniques in
order to keep scarring
to a minimum.
Another aspect of
choosing donor sites is
the color of the hair
being used in the hair
transplant. If it does
not match the area
around the balding area,
it will look unnatural.
The texture should be
even as well as the
waviness or curliness of
the donor hair and the
area of hair around the
balding area.
If you have lost your
hair due to genetics, or
a family history, you
will likely be a good
candidate for hair
transplant surgery. Men
who have hair loss in
their families usually
have a good idea of the
way the baldness pattern
will play out.
Your relatives may have
had hair that went bald
into a horseshoe pattern
and held at that stage.
If this is the case,
your surgeon will know
what to expect. Then, he
can take "bald-proof"
hair from the sides and
back of your head as
donor hair and perform
the hair transplant.
If you have lost your
hair because of some
kind of trauma or burns,
you will also make a
good candidate for hair
transplant surgery. This
is because the hair you
still have will probably
still be healthy. It
will provide good donor
hair for your hair
transplant. The most
likely situation is that
you will have enough
hair to make this
possible. However, if
you have lost too much
hair, a hair transplant
may not be possible.
You can benefit greatly
from hair transplant
surgery if it is right
for you. Do not give up
on it until you talk to
a surgeon. If your
surgeon says that you
are not a good candidate
for hair transplant
surgery, you may want to
get a second opinion.
However, if you are a
good candidate for the
procedure, it is nice to
know that there is a
good reason you are
being accepted. It will
make you more confident
in your surgeon.
