Incisional Hair Transplantation and Follicular Unit Extraction

Provider: Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic

A youthful face is regarded by people of all ages and genders as a major advantage in building relationships. A younger-looking appearance gives you confidence and helps you approach relationships more actively, while also creating goodwill and a sense of closeness with others, which can be a great help in business as well.

These days, hair loss is increasingly occurring even among teenagers in their teens and young adults in their 20s and 30s. Hair loss is a concern for many people, and it is a serious issue to the extent that 1 out of every 5 people in South Korea experiences it. It also affects business, dating, employment, and more.

Among the hair loss surgical methods that many people are concerned about, the two major ones are follicular unit extraction and incisional hair transplantation. Depending on the patient’s hair loss area and condition, it is important to choose an appropriate surgical method through an accurate diagnosis. Patients may think the non-incisional method is better, but that is not always the case. After a thorough diagnosis and consultation, please find the surgical method that suits each individual patient.

Incisional Hair Transplantation VS Non-incisional Hair Transplantation

• As shown in the table above, incisional hair transplantation and non-incisional hair transplantation have different strengths and features, so it is best to discuss them thoroughly with a specialist and choose the method that suits you.

Advantages of Hair Transplantation

1. It will not fall out for life

The follicles used for transplantation are taken from the back and sides of the head, where they are not affected by hair loss. Therefore, once transplanted, they do not fall out again and are maintained for life.

2. Natural appearance

Because your own hair grows, it has the same texture, growth cycle, and characteristics as your existing hair, so after it takes root, it looks so natural that others may not even realize it was transplanted.

3. Almost no side effects occur.

Since your own follicular cells grow again, there are almost no side effects, and after it takes root, no other special care is needed; it grows just like your original hair.

Advantages of Hairline Correction, Which Is Simpler Than Hair Transplantation

1. Hairline correction effect – A square or M-shaped forehead can be improved into a rounder hairline.

2. Forehead reduction effect – A wide forehead can be adjusted to a length that suits the proportions of each individual’s face.

3. Face reduction effect – By reducing a wide forehead, you can expect a smaller-looking face.

Precautions Before and After Hair Transplantation Surgery

• After surgery, a compression bandage or gauze is applied to the back of the head.

• Shampooing is possible after 3 days.

• Sutures at the back of the head are removed after about 10 days.

• Scabs after surgery remain on the transplanted area for 2 to 3 weeks and then fall off on their own.

• You may feel pain at the back of the head for about 1 to 2 days. If there is pain, take the prescribed medication.

• Swelling of the face or slight bleeding may occur after surgery, but these are temporary, so there is no need to worry.

Hair Transplant Hospital, Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic Whichever method of hair transplantation is used, it takes at least 6 months to 1 year for new hair to grow from the transplanted follicles and fully settle in.
