Common Misconceptions About Hair Transplantation _ Part 1

Hello, this is Dana Plastic Surgery 😊

Today, we’re going to take some time to look at some common misconceptions about hair transplantation.

There are quite a few people with hair loss who are wavering because of inaccurate hair transplant information online, even though they expect good results from the procedure.

It seems that interest in hair loss medications and hair loss treatments is growing even more than interest in hair transplantation itself.

Let’s take some time to talk about these misconceptions.

Q. Is hair transplantation a surgery only for older people?

Not at all.

Recently, people in their 20s and 30s have also been suffering greatly from hair loss, and even for those who are not hair loss patients, there are hair transplant procedures that enhance the hairline for both men and women.

So this is absolutely not a surgery only for older people.

Q. Transplanted hair falls out?

In practice, if the transplanted hair fully takes root after about a year, then it does not fall out again due to hair loss.

However, right after a hair transplant, if the transplanted hair is pulled or impacted,

it can fall out.

After a transplant, the transplanted hair does not continue to thin, but

it would be good to know that the hair that was already there before can continue to thin.

Q. For a second procedure, the first surgery must be an incision method?

This question can be considered incorrect.

Whether the first surgery was performed with the incision method or the non-incision method,

a second procedure is possible in most cases.

However, if too much hair is harvested during the first procedure,

there may occasionally be cases where a second procedure is not possible.

In such cases, it would be best to consult with a specialist and get advice.

Q. Slit grafting creates better density than an implanter pen?

People who are interested in hair transplantation often come in after researching a lot about implanter pens and slits.

People who come for consultations also often ask which method is better.

It is not the case that slits provide better density than an implanter pen, or that the implanter pen results in lower density.

Depending on the condition of each person’s scalp, there are people who need to undergo transplantation with an implanter pen and others who need transplantation with slits, so you can think of them as complementary transplantation methods.

There is no difference in density between the two methods 😊

Q. Scalp micropigmentation is bad for hair transplantation?

Scalp micropigmentation is not bad for hair transplantation.

When scalp micropigmentation is performed, the layer where the ink remains and

the transplanted layer where the follicles are placed during hair transplantation are different to a certain extent,

so there is no direct relationship between hair transplantation and scalp micropigmentation.

Today, we took some time to look at several misconceptions about hair transplantation.

In fact, if you want to know your exact scalp condition or which method is right for you, the most accurate answer is to consult a specialist.
