Hair Transplants Making More Wish Lists
Gift buying occasions are typically very stressful time of
year because neither party knows what to ask for and not seem rude, and the
giver- what to give to make the recipient happy. To avoid this, many
parents will ask for a list of desired items to make the shopping and gifting
experience a more pleasurable one on all accounts.
Depending on who you’re buying for, this could mean lots of
toys, electronics and now even cosmetic surgeries to shell out cash on for a
gift. That’s right, it seems more people are wanting to have larger cost
items paid for by groups of people rather than receiving smaller gifted items
they could just go out and get themselves when they want it.
Today one of the common things people are looking at having
done to improve their self confidence and appearance is hair
transplant surgery. For anyone who has ever suffered from balding or even
some hair loss, the ability to
regrow a healthy, full head of hair is a gift for sure.
One recent
story that ran on the Mirror site, detailed how one father bought his son
the gift of a hair transplant for his big 3-0 birthday celebration.
A victim of heredity,
the son had started losing his hair early in life and seemed already
discouraged and self conscious about the situation.
Some men come to terms and shave their head completely bald
in an attempt to be accepted as the secy bald, Vin
Diesel type - but for many others the suffering happens underneath a
baseball cap.
So this dad took the matters into his own hands and instead
of spending money on gifts that eventually go un-used or were unwanted to begin
with, he gave his son the gift of a full head of hair again and the confidence
to take on the world that still had so much for him.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
