What is Hair Transplant ?
A hair transplant is a surgery that moves hair to bald or thinning areas of the scalp. Also called hair restoration or hair replacement, it’s usually for people who have already tried other hair loss treatments. Dermatologists (healthcare providers specializing in the skin) or plastic surgeons (healthcare providers specializing in reconstructive procedures) perform hair transplants.
How Does It Works
The healthcare provider takes grafts, or small pieces of skin, from areas of the body that contain healthy hair. Healthcare providers call this area the donor site. It’s usually on your head, at the back of your scalp where hair tends to be thickest. The healthcare provider moves the grafts to hairless parts of the scalp. Once the transplanted skin heals, it should continue to grow hair.
You may be a candidate for hair replacement surgery if you:
- Are in good health.
- Have realistic expectations about hair replacement results.
- Still have areas of thick hair growth on your scalp.
There are several different ways to perform hair transplant surgery, including:
- Grafting.
- Scalp reduction.
- Flap surgery.
- Tissue expansion.
If you have scalp baldness or disfigurement due to burns, your provider may perform tissue expansion surgery. Tissue expansion requires general anesthesia and involves several steps:
- A reconstructive surgeon inserts an implant under the scalp, where hair still remains. Shaped like a balloon, they call it a tissue expander.
- Over several weeks, the expander is gradually inflated to stretch the skin.
- The surgeon performs a second procedure to cover the bald area with the stretched skin.
As with any surgery, a hair transplant comes with risks. These include:
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia.
- Excessive blood loss.
- Failed grafts or flaps.
- Infection.
- Loss of feeling on your scalp.
- Scarring.
