Cosmetic surgery, especially hair restoration surgery has become increasingly popular during the past few decades and with the help of the latest techniques, hair transplant surgeons can achieve fabulous results with patients who suffer from balding and hair loss. There have been many discussions about the advantages of hair transplant surgery and although it is considered to be the most reliable and permanent solution on the market, still there are many people who are afraid of hair restoration. There are many reasons for hesitation, for example, the patient thinks that the surgery is painful and the implanted hair will look unnatural, but the most common reason is that the result is not visible immediately. Patients need to wait but many of them do not even know for how long and this causes confusion.
The good news is that after only one year, the implanted hair will grow naturally and will look and feel like the original. It is also important to note that the healing time can vary from patient to patient and depends on many factors, for example, the patients’ overall health and metabolism. After the surgery is done and there was no complication, it is essential to carefully follow the aftercare plan. The hair transplant specialist will subscribe all the necessary elements, painkillers, special shampoo and balm that are needed for the best possible result. Just like in case of other surgeries, patients need to keep in mind that smoking is not advisable before and after hair transplantation because it can threaten the success of the process. At our clinic, we always pay attention to our patients’ individual needs and design the treatment plan accordingly. Patients read and sign the treatment plan during consultation before the intervention to avoid confusion.
Healing and hair growth is a gradual process and patience is the key to success. The process is made up of several phases. Hair growth usually starts 3 – 4 months after the surgery. Again, patients need to keep in mind that if they do not see significant growth during this phase, it is completely normal. It can be also shocking to see that the newly grown hair follicles are quite weak and colourless (in some cases, some of the implanted hair fall out) but there is no need to worry, hair needs time to regain its strength. Many patients reported that visible growth can be observed 6-8 months after the surgery. At around 9 – 10 months all the transplanted hair will begin to grow but in order to fully regain its original state at least plus 2 months are needed.
Patient satisfaction is extremely important for us and therefore we provide written guarantee for the hair restoration process. Basically this means that if less than 80 percent of the implanted hair grows back, we implant the missing amount. If you have any questions about the details of guarantee or about the hair restoration process itself, feel free to contact our colleagues who are ready to answer your questions as soon as possible.
