Hair Transplant Before & After and Precautions Before the Procedure

Provider: Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic

Hello, this is Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic.

To improve sparse hair,

we try various procedures,

but once time passes, improvement through procedures becomes difficult.

At times like this, people decide to undergo a hair transplant

and proceed with the procedure. At Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic,

we will show the before-and-after photos of patients who visited

and received the transplant procedure,

and explain the treatment progress.

If you are considering a hair transplant,

please take a look at the before-and-after results from various cases

shown by Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic.

Preconceptions About Hair Transplants

As interest in hair transplants has recently grown,

information about hair transplants can be found through

the internet and various other media. Due to misinformation and exaggerated advertising,

many patients visit with preconceived notions

about hair transplants.

Typical misconceptions include that a hair transplant will always be obvious

or that maintenance is difficult. A hair transplant is a procedure in which one’s own hair follicles

are harvested and hair is redistributed into the existing hair.

Depending on the practitioner’s technique, it can be a procedure

that is not noticeable at all. By choosing the right clinic,

having 충분한 상담, and applying a surgical method that matches

your hair loss and scalp condition, good results can be achieved.

As for hair loss maintenance, if you follow the clinic’s instructions only until the grafts take root after the transplant,

you can maintain it afterward in the same way as your existing hair without any special care.

So, if you choose the right clinic and receive adequate consultation and treatment,

good results are possible.

Hair Transplant BEFORE & AFTER

These are before-and-after photos of a man in his 30s who was concerned about M-shaped hair loss

with a receding hairline on both sides of the forehead and underwent a hair transplant

for the affected area.

By filling in the deeply receded hairline on both sides,

the transplant created a more square hairline that suits men,

making the face appear smaller and emphasizing a more masculine appearance.

These are follow-up photos taken 9 months later, showing that the transplanted

hair has taken root well in the scalp.

Hair transplantation for M-shaped hair loss can help improve the concern,

and it also gives the effect of refining the hairline.

Compared with before, it can greatly improve the overall aesthetic effect,

creating a cleaner image and a more youthful appearance.

When M-shaped hair loss has progressed, it is difficult to improve with medication or other methods,

so if you are concerned, it is best to visit a clinic as soon as possible for a consultation.

Meso Hair Cell + Hair Transplant BEFORE & AFTER

A hair transplant and Meso Hair Cell treatment were performed together on a relatively sparse crown and forehead.

Because a hair transplant does not create new hair but rather redistributes existing hair,

it is difficult to produce a large amount of hair.

In such cases, combining hair transplantation with Meso Hair Cell,

which helps thicken hair that has become thinner as hair loss progresses,

can create a fuller-looking result.

The man in his 20s shown above is a 6-month follow-up photo after undergoing

a hair transplant and Meso Hair Cell treatment, and he now has much fuller hair than before.

As in the case above, if existing hair loss has progressed and the original hair has weakened and become thin,

rather than performing only a hair transplant,

combining it with Meso Hair Cell can produce a booster effect and lead to even better results.

Meso Hair Cell BEFORE & AFTER

When the crown becomes sparse and the scalp becomes more visible,

rather than always proceeding with a hair transplant,

it is important to check the hair volume on the scalp. If the hair has not fallen out but has become thin and weak,

Meso Hair Cell is used to restore the thinned hair to a healthy state and bring back its former thickness.

Meso Hair Cell affects not only hair thickness

but also growth, helping strong and healthy hair grow well.

Before proceeding with a hair transplant, Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic

checks the patient’s condition and provides treatment suited to it,

offering procedures and results that match the patient.

Precautions Before a Hair Transplant Procedure

1. Shampoo your hair on the morning of the surgery, and do not apply any hair products.

2. Stop taking aspirin and anticoagulants one week before surgery.

3. Avoid drinking alcohol the day before surgery.

4. During the consultation, please inform the clinic about any illnesses, medications you are taking, and any drug allergies.

5. Keep the hair at the back of your head at least 3 cm long, and do not trim it too short.

6. Please eat a light meal on the day of surgery.

7. Please visit the clinic wearing a top that is easy to change out of on the day of surgery.

8. Avoid hats that fit tightly around the head.

Since a hair transplant is a procedure that involves harvesting hair from the occipital area, if the hair is too short,

transplantation may be difficult, so it is better to maintain an appropriate length.

Also, since the transplanted hair will be shampooed on the morning of the procedure,

it is better to avoid hair products that can make the hair slippery or leave other foreign substances.

It is recommended to eat a light meal on the day of surgery, and some people bring a hat to cover their head after the procedure.

A hat or beanie that does not tighten the head is preferable,

and tightly fitting hats should be avoided because they can cause pain and interfere with graft survival.

Hair transplantation is a procedure in which each follicular unit is transplanted individually,

so it is important to avoid alcohol and smoking before surgery and to prepare your body in a healthy condition so the grafts can take root without infection.

It is also advisable to inform the medical staff in advance about any existing conditions, medications you are taking, and allergies,

so that any factors that may interfere with surgery and graft survival can be identified and addressed beforehand.

Lee Mi-seok Theme Dermatology Clinic’s hair loss and hair transplant center follows a policy of one hair transplant surgery per day per patient.

During hair transplant surgery, experienced staff who can separate follicles without damaging them,

and medical staff with extensive experience in hair transplantation, perform the procedure.

This shortens the procedure time and maximizes hair survival rate,

thereby increasing the graft survival rate after transplantation and improving patient satisfaction.
