The process of hair transplant operation is as follows:
Things that must be cared in hair transplant
Hair transplantation operations are an issue that requires attention from the beginning to the end as a process. Therefore, this entire operation should be followed with care and should be followed with care. In this regard, the following should be considered before and after the operation:
As it is understood, hair transplantation operation is an issue that requires mutual attention. The things to be considered in this matter are not only the responsibility of the doctor, but also the responsibility of the person, and the result of the operation will be as expected if mutual attention and care is shown.
Patients from all over the world contact Long Hair Center for hair transplantation. They are asked to send pictures of their donor area (where the grafts are taken from) and the recipient area (where the grafts are placed). Our experts analyze these pictures and prepare a treatment report for the patient, which includes the number of grafts needed, the number of sessions required, and the determination of the recipient area.
On the day of the pre-arranged hair transplant operation, the patient arrives at our centre and is re-examined by our doctor. Before the operation begins, the patient is given detailed information about the procedure and what to expect, both verbally and in writing. Additionally, the patient's medical history is documented in their personal file.
Following this, the patient is taken to the operating room where a blood test is performed first to check for any infectious diseases. Once cleared, the next step is to determine the hairline. The specialist doctor takes into account the patient's age, facial muscles, and the golden ratio when drawing the hairline. The patient's preferences and approval are also taken into consideration during this process. For a more precise and natural-looking hairline, millimetre meters and laser devices may be used.
After the hairline has been determined and marked indelibly, the donor area of the patient is locally anesthetized for hair removal. Local anesthesia is a preferred method by specialists over sedation method. Both the donor area and the transplant area are anesthetized with local anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort during the procedure
Local anesthesia is administered through fine needles to the patient's skin. To reduce the pain of anesthesia, a painless anesthesia device can also be activated. This device injects the anesthetic under the skin by spraying it with pressure onto the area to be anesthetized before the local anesthesia is applied. This reduces 80% of the pain that can be felt during local anesthesia.
If the FUE method is used in the patient's operation, follicle extraction is performed with the help of a micromotor punch and devices called punches, which vary according to root thickness and length. After the hair follicles in the donor area of the person are examined by the doctor, a follicle extraction process based on the principle of carving around the hair follicles is performed using a punch according to the thickness and depth of the hair follicles. The motor speed is adjusted according to the tissue stiffness in the donor area. Hair follicles are extracted meticulously and homogeneously and then kept in a special solution.
After the hair follicles are removed, local anesthesia is applied to the area where the hair will be transplanted for channel opening. Then, the channels are opened with a sapphire tip. The direction in which the hair will grow and the hair density are determined by the channels opened. During the opening of the channels, the patient should remain as still as possible.
There are two factors that should be considered in the trenching process: size and depth. Therefore, the channels opened should be of a suitable size for the hair follicles taken; otherwise, a channel smaller than the root will damage the root during planting, or channels opened larger than the root will cause tissue destruction and scarring. In addition, the depth at which the hair follicle is placed during this process is another important factor. In this context, the canal's depth should not be too shallow to provide adequate nourishment for the planted root. At the same time, sufficient depth should be provided without damaging the feeding vessels. Canal opening is the most critical part of the operation, so it should be performed by a specialist doctor.
If the operation is performed with the DHI method, there is no need for channel opening.
After the channels have been opened, it is time to implant the follicles. The local anesthesia applied for the opening of the channels ensures that the patient does not feel anything during this period, so there is no need for additional local anesthesia or anesthesia procedures for this step.
While the channels are being opened, the roots, which have been nourished and strengthened in a special solution, are placed one by one and with patience, into the previously opened channels using forceps resembling tweezers.
If the operation is performed with the DHI method, the roots placed in the Choi Pen are directly implanted into the transplant area.
Exit procedures and preparations are made towards the end of the operation. After the transplanted roots are checked for the last time, PRP plasma treatment is performed, and the final washing process is done until there is no bleeding or leakage
Before exiting, the person's sugar and blood pressure vitals are checked, and if everything is normal, they are brought to a sitting position. The donor area is bandaged and wrapped with a special antibiotic cream to prevent any external infection.
This bandage stays on for one day and is removed by the doctor during the next day's washing and checking. After the checkout process is completed, instructions for medication and hospitalization positions are explained, a guarantee certificate is given, and directions to the hotel are provided.
