Hair Transplant: A Success or a Failure?

Hair loss has been a common concern for many people, being victims of current fast paced life style. The common hair loss issues, right from thinning of hair shafts to visibly bald scalp have been more dramatic, irrespective of gender categorization. Stress, hormonal fluctuations, vitamin and protein deficiency as well as steroidal medicines, are typically encountered to be the leading offenders for increasing evidences of hair fall.

In this regard, conventional medicine has suggested many topical applications like creams, oils, live ons, etc. But people were more inclined towards other surgical options like hair transplant surgery, with the assumption of it, having higher success rate. However, in defining the percentage of success rates of hair transplants, it would be first necessary to understand, how rate of success may be linked with the possible outcome. Apparently, a transplant procedure with only visible growth of smaller fraction of transplanted hair follicles, can merely be a technical success; however, if you wish to achieve those previous hair texture restoration goals, then it would be very unfair to consider it as a success.
Contrary to the popular belief, the success rate of hair transplant should typically be judged by recovery complications, outcome and patient’s satisfaction. On that basis, some of the factors, which have been noted and understood as the crucial points; to endorse hair transplant procedure to be successful have been listed herewith:
Source Extraction
Success rate of hair transplant surgery is directly associated with the quality and health of the hair follicles. Many of the times, if the grafts are not accepted by the body, it may welcome some of the opportunistic infections of hair follicles. Moreover, scalp swelling, itching, etc. are as well noted as more commonly encountered issues.
Shock loss of healthy Hair
In more than 15% of people, who have undergone hair transplant treatment; a real phenomenon of shock loss is being noted. It is generally associated with loss of natural hair as well as grafted follicles, due to limited oxygenated blood supply and nutritional supplement. As a result of which even normal hair as well as follicles can be lost in their telogen phase.
Scarring and bumps
The technical skill can be noted as another decisive factor in determining the success rate of hair transplant procedure. Hair follicles that have been extracted, generally tend to get dried up at a faster speed; due to which there are more chances of follicular death, immediately or after some time post-transplant. This can initiate formation of bumps on the transplantation sites. Moreover, hair transplantation patients can as well develop higher scarring due to scalp reduction stress, that is generally associated with hair transplant.
Invasive
Being a surgery, it is the going under the knife option, letting you face all the cons associated with it, such as anesthesia, longer recovery period, cost, etc.
However, the good news is that you can still come out of the demoralizing issue of hair loss and traumatizing surgical experience, thinking hair transplant as the only available option; as modern medicine is supporting our bodies to promote regeneration of their lost tissue, hair is not an exception as well! Worldwide researchers and medical fraternity are supporting the concept of hair restoration through patient’s own platelet rich plasma, in combination with stem cells; as the only successful, viable, risk free and non-invasive alternative to fix up intrinsic cellular damage and promote natural growth of hair.
