 The donor hairs are now prepared by the
medical staff for insertion into the recipient site. The doctor
prepares the site by creating tiny slits into which the donor hair
will be inserted. The doctor and his staff will start with the front
hairline and work his way back toward the crown of the head,
inserting the grafts into the recipient sites.
Since the front hairline is the most critical
for a natural appearance, the single hair grafts are used more
prominently in reconstructing it. Follicular units of two, three,
and some four hair grafts are used only behind the front hairline.
The doctor will make the recipient sites so
that the most natural growth and directional pattern is created.
Hair will be inserted to maintain its normal forward growth with a
natural lift forward of the crown with an approximate 30 degree
angle to the scalp plane.
The procedure can last from two to six hours
depending upon the number of grafts being transplanted.
Upon completion of the procedure, you may drive yourself
if it is a reasonable distance. Out of town patients should bring
someone who can help with the drive home, or we can arrange a local
hotel room for the night.
If
you have a large mature pattern baldness, it is important to visit
one of our centers for a free evaluation to assess the amount of
donor hair that is available. To achieve your personal desired
result, it may require a number of procedures.
Upon completion of the procedure the newly transplanted hair
goes dormant for approximately 12-16 weeks. Because hair grows in
cycles, one should wait approximately eight months to fully assess
the result. Our hair transplant specialists prefer to wait
approximately eight months between procedures. By allowing such time
you will be assured that our surgeons are not duplicating their
pervious efforts or your previous investment. Some doctors from
other medical groups will perform consecutive procedures in as
little as three months. Unfortunately for their patients, unless
their results leave residual scar tissue or other noticeable
imperfections to the skin, one would not be able to decipher where
previous hairs were previously placed.
