Things to Consider Before Hair Transplant Surgery:

Before going for hair restoration surgery, it is necessary to keep in mind about some important issues –

• If you are choosing the hair transplantation surgery, it is important to go with realistic expectations. The thicker and denser your remaining hair, the better your results will be as per your expectations.
• If you are a smoker, it is important to avoid it for a few months before having your hair restoration surgery. Smoke will surely cause future complications, so it’s better to avoid it.
• After your hair transplantation surgery, it takes around 8 months to see the complete hair fill.
• Avoid medications or supplements before the surgery a surgeon will offer you some preoperative medications to make you perfectly ready for the surgery.

How Does It Work?

It is the simplest procedure for both men and women without any complications. A surgeon will take off the hair follicles from the denser area and implants them on a thinning area of the scalp. Before starting the hair restoration procedure, the surgeon will sterilize the area from where the hair follicles will be removed. The surgeon may also offer you sedation in order to keep you stable for the procedure. Further, being the best Hair Transplant Surgeon in Chicago, the surgeon will perform suitable transplant methods such as FUT or FUE effectively.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Follicular Unit Transplantation is also known as Follicular Unit Strip Surgery. It is the process of removing a thin strip of hair from the back head where hairs grow continuously and implanted into an area of hair loss. Our Hair Restoration Surgery in Chicago helped people to experience the same old look with strong and natural hair growth. Dr. Dhaval Patel is the main foundation for the success of our CI Plastic Surgery and made it recognize as the best Plastic Surgery Center in Chicago.

FUT Process:

This process begins with the removal of the hair strip from the anesthetized area of the back head (donor area). The strip is then divided into tiny grafts comprised of one to four hairs with the help of specialized microscopes. The donor strip is further closed using small stitches and covered by surrounding donor hair. The stitches are removed after 10-15days and the scar will not be visible as it will be completely covered by hair.

Further, the surgeon will make an incision on the recipient’s thinning area followed by placing the grafts on recipient sites using very fine forceps. Dr. Dhaval Patel with his immense experience in performing hair transplant surgery will pay extreme care and attention to the position of these follicle units to ensure the natural hair growth in the thinning area. The surgeon will use the local anesthesia for a patient to experience a pain-free procedure.

The overall follicular unit transplantation process can take around 4 to 12 hours depending on the size of the area and the number of grafts that need to be implanted. Approximately, the new hair starts growing after four months of the surgery. In 10-15 months, the naturally thicken hair over the scalp will be observed. CI Plastic Surgery, being the top Plastic Surgery Center in Chicago, uses advanced technology equipment to ease the surgical process thereby offering more safety and comfort to the patients.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction is an advanced surgical procedure for restoring the hair loss thereby avoiding a linear scar. CI Plastic Surgery utilizes the latest technology that includes an automated pneumatic pressurized system. This system helps in removing collecting and placing the individual hair follicles without causing any discomfort to the patient. Follicular unit extraction is an advanced hair restoration procedure that involves the transfer of hair grafts from the dense area of the scalp to the thinning areas. In this process, the surgeon will extract only individual follicular units directly from the scalp instead of removing a strip of a donor. With this process, we observe only tiny dot scars that can be cured within no time. CI Plastic Surgery is also known for the best Facial Liposuction Surgery in Chicago for those who are suffering from excess fat in facial parts. With this process, you will experience the youthful appearance of your face. Dr. Dhaval Patel is also known as a Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

FUE Process:

At the beginning of this procedure, the donor area of the scalp will be shaved to ease the extraction of an individual unit with the help of a 0.8mm to 1mm punch. Further, the surgeon will make microscopic slits in the recipient’s area followed by individual grafts that are placed into the sites. This process takes a lot more time than the FUT procedure. The FUE process takes around 10-20 hours or in some cases more than one day in extracting around 2000grafts or more. Approximately, the new hairs start growing after four months after the surgery and the complete natural growth of hair will be observed in 10-15months.
