bear hair transplant Irregularity

I done a beard transplant 1yr ago..but most of the hair growing in wrong direction? Will it can be corrected? Is graft excision process applicable to facial hair transplants??

answer:

The direction of growth of hair following transplant is dependent on the proper positioning of the graft in the recipient site, along with the proper design or pattern of placement. If the recipient sites are not created appropriately, the result will be irregular and unnatural appearing. With regard to correction options for your concerns, you could possibly have follicular unit extraction and reimplantation.

FUE (follicular unit extraction) might work as might laser hair removal. Your problem is most unusual. Graft excision will likely lead to scarring. Laser hair removal may or may not help.

You need to be evaluated by someone with actual experience in facial hair transplantation either using facial hair as donor or recipient in the hair restoration process. Your choice for an expert opinion with should not be based on board certification but on experience with hair transplantation and specifically with facial hair transplantation.

The direction the hair grows is a very important part of hair transplantation. This is determined by the direction the hair is implanted during surgery. It is one of the many reasons why patients should be very careful about who exactly is doing the hair transplant. It is unlikely to be corrected at 1 year after surgery.

Who is a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?

I am 21 years old, and I began losing hair when i was 19. The area around my hair line is very thin now. I was wondering, is hair transplant is an option for me right now? Who should ideally consider having hair transplant done?

…Respond

Each Case is Unique

In general, people under the age of 21 are too young for a hair transplant. However there are exceptions, especially when emotional factors are considered. For the average 21 year old, the treatments to consider are finesteride and Rogaine, but even these are not for everyone. When looking at hair transplantation, family history is very important and can give a good indication of where your hair loss is headed. Because your hair loss has started at such a young age, you need to look at the patterns to be expected 10-15 years from now as well as 50 years from now. Being too aggressive with hair transplantation at a young age can be a major mistake. The other option you have is to begin either minoxidil or finasteride.

If a transplant is done it should be done in a manner that it can stand alone as a single procedure if all of the current hair is lost and the only hair remaining on your head is the transplant. Approaching it in this way will require a lot of thought and planning and is far less likely to result in a major mistake. In addition you should be aware that a single transplant is not likely to solve your hair loss problem. You will need to add to it, probably more than once, through the coming years as you continue to lose hair

Hair loss is a progressive problem in which you continue to lose hair. The key to determining good candidates for hair restoration surgery is estimating what the patient's hair loss pattern might be.Therefore It is important for you and your doctor to assess what stage of hair loss you are likely to be at in the future. This is based on family genetics and your current hair loss pattern. Once hair is transplanted, it will not fall out, though the native hair will continue its loss.

Really in a young person such as yourself, it is difficult to tell what your eventual pattern of hair loss might be and your transplant may create an unnatural appearance as you lose more hair.You can usually get away with a small transplant to provide slightly more density in the hairline with the understanding that you will likely need additional treatment in the future as your hair loss progresses.

Hair Transplant for Women

Can a woman with severe hair loss get hair transplants? How long can the hair be? THANK YOU

Respond

Yes, women are candidates for hair transplant surgery. The woman must be in good general Health and all the medical reasons for hair loss must be eliminated.

It is depending on the cause of hair loss. If it is due to a thyroid problem, lupus, etc. the answer is no. But if it's a result from inherited hair loss the results can be excellent. The key thing is, if there is reasonable density in the back/sides of the scalp (donor area) then a transplant can be quite effective

Women usually have thining through the coronal (mid portion) of the scalp leaving the hair line unaffected. women who experience diffuse hair loss over the entire scalp are not candidates.

Most surgeons prefer to start with medical treatment which can include steroid injections to the scalp for alopecia areata or the use if minoxidil type preparations prior to employing surgery.

…

Success depends on many factors:

Is the woman realistic about what can be done? Will she accept targeting certain areas like the central forelock, hairline and part and not the whole area?

2. How extensive the baldness is of course a big thing. If there is a lot of thinning but it is concentrated in for example what is called the Christmas tree pattern, then things may be able to be done. This is the demand part o f the equation: how much actual baldness needs to be covered.

3. The supply side of things refers to how much donor hair is usable. Many women lose hair also in the temples so that the donor harvest must be confined only to the occiput centrally. In addition, the degree of density in any given area is critical. High density covers a lot of sin. Poor density is a difficult thing to deal with. The hair caliber comes in as a close second if not on par with donor density and sometimes even more important. If the hair caliber is wispy thin then that is a problem. Less important is if the hair is curly or straight. The curlier the better. The straighter the less able to cover the area. For example, African American hair really covers a great degree of distance especially if it is left unrelaxed. The hair color to scalp color difference is important. Dark hair on dark skin or light hair on light skin is more ideal than dark hair on light skin or light hair on dark skin.
