traumatic.

the
required depth. The method does not leave injuries.

interlocutor`s attention often stops on the hair, then a strong difference is visible. If he asked a question
about
a transplant, you can be completely sure that the hair does not look natural and it means that the operation was
unsuccessful. On the other hand, if the interlocutor does not pay much attention to your hair, then everything
is
fine.

How to prevent an unsuccessful hair transplant
The best way is to be sure that both the clinic and the surgeon who will perform the operation have the
necessary
accreditation and proper experience. Often, the transplant is unsuccessful precisely because of incompetent
doctors
and their assistants. In our clinic, you will never encounter this problem. Some other factors can also help to
avoid an unsuccessful operation.
Quality of the donor zone
The donor zone is called the back, as well as the lateral zones of hair growth. If there are healthy thick hair
located there, then the result of the operation will be more than amazing.
Duration of the operation
On average, a successful transplant operation takes up to 8 hours. This time is quite enough to transplant up to
3.5
thousand grafts. Any excess of the set deadline threatens a successful result.
What are the reasons for a failed hair transplant
The reasons for the failure of this operation can be divided into several groups:
- Transplantation to patients for whom transplantation will not help;
- Incorrect graft collection and planting;
- Violation of the rules of hair care by patients after surgery.
Transplantation to patients for whom transplantation will not help
It is important to understand that the procedure is not suitable for everyone. This is established at a
preliminary
examination by a specialist. The operation will not help if:
- Young age;
- Genetic predisposition to severe hair loss;
- Progressive loss of type 6-7. Grafts may simply not be enough;
- The condition of the donor area – whether there is enough hair there, and in what condition they are.
The patient should not build illusions. You will not be able to make a high-quality transplant from "nothing".
Incorrect fence and graft planting
The poor quality of the transplant depends not only on the implantation itself. Grafts may be collected or
transplanted incorrectly. In particular, when removing grafts, the doctor may make such mistakes:
-
Conduct the operation for more than 8 hours in a row in one session. The condition of the roots worsens, and
the
transplanted hair grows very poorly;
- Take more hair than you need. Usually this is a quarter of the amount of hair per sq. cm;
-
Take the hair from the area above the ear. There the hair is more sparse and thin, extraction can lead to
receding
hairlines;
- Use a tool with a micromotor. It destroys the hair roots;
- Use forceps of the wrong width. It is selected individually, according to the thickness of the hair roots;
-
It is wrong to use working tools. It is important to take into account the angle and direction, so as not to
damage
the graph;
- Unevenly extract the grafts. You need to take approximately the same amount from each site.
The process of planting grafts also has its own nuances. An unsuccessful transplant may be due to an incorrect
implantation angle or an erroneous planning of the growth line. During a direct transplant, a specialist may
make
the following mistakes:
-
Implant the root to an excessive depth. Such a root will not only not take root, but may also deform and
become
inflamed in the future;
- It is wrong to use adrenaline. The consequence is a complication in the form of tissue necrosis;
-
It is too rare to transplant hair. If the bald spot has a large size, and the patient has high expectations,
it
would be more correct to refuse the operation at all. Otherwise, only disappointment awaits him, because the
hair
will look too rare;
-
Plant your hair too tightly. The optimal density of transplantation per session is up to 40 hairs per sq.
cm. A
higher density injures the capillary vessels, as a result of which the hair nutrition will be disrupted.

Violation of the rules of hair care by patients after surgery
Mostly, these mistakes are made by patients by chance, unconsciously. During the rehabilitation period, it is
important to remember a few simple rules. For example, to protect the transplanted hair from the direct rays of
the
sun, as well as to avoid high temperatures for some time. I.e., visiting a sauna or a hot shower is prohibited.
What can be done to correct a failed hair transplant
It can be quite difficult to correct the consequences of a failed transplant. However, an experienced doctor is
able
to correct the situation. The best hair transplant clinic in Turkey offer their services,
including
re-transplantation. A consultation is held and then work is planned.
When can I perform a transplant, if the doctor approves it
In the event that a second transplant will be carried out on the same area as before, you will have to wait at
least
eight months from the moment of the first procedure. This is the necessary minimum. But if the second session is
scheduled for an area where there was no transplantation, it will be enough to wait for half of the mentioned
period. This is enough for the donor zone to recover.
What results can I expect from the repeated operation
A week after a successful operation, a slight redness and a few crusts will be noticeable, which will soon peel
off.
The recovery process will begin on the tenth day after the operation. It is advisable not to cut the hair on the
donor area for at least a month.
A month later, it will be possible to observe a "shock loss", because the follicles were exposed to stress. But
after a couple of months, the hair will begin to grow actively. Thus, after six months, more than half of the
follicles will noticeably sprout, and a year after the procedure, almost all of them will. Full-fledged density
can
be observed only a year and a half after the operation.
