The Hair Transplant Surgery

The hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia. The area where the hair follicles are taken is called “graft.” Grafts are usually taken one by one using micromotors or manually with special forceps. The grafts are taken in a way not to cause damage to existing hair. After the grafts have been removed, they are kept in storage solutions at appropriate temperature until they are planted.

Hair roots taken from the donor area are planted in the same way as sowing seeds. This is done with very fine needles or specially prepared blades. Hair transplantation is performed by planting one graft at a time. The number of implanted grafts varies between 500 and 3000 depending on the size of the area to be covered and the density of hair follicles in the donor area. The implanted hair follicles start to grow after 3-4 months, and after one year, their growth is completed.

Hair Transplant

Hair transplant is one of the common types of plastic surgery and organ transplant. It is the transfer of hair follicles taken from the chest, leg-arm, genital area body regions that are resistant to baldness, especially from the back of the head near the nape, to the area where the hair is shed.

The first hair transplantation method was invented by Japanese dermatologist Dr. Okuda in 1939. The second method was invented by Dr. Tamura in 1959. This technique is known as “strip method”. In this method, a wound occurs on the scalp where it has been picked up and removed from healthy hair follicles. The wound is sutured immediately after picking up hair follicles and there may be scars on this section for life.

In 1995, Dr. Bernstein discovered the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method. In this method, grafts are removed by cutting small sections without causing any wounds or scars on the scalp.
