ON THE DAY OF THE HAIR TRANSPLANT
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hair transplantation is a permanent solution for people with “androgenetic alopecia” (male pattern hair loss). The key most important thing in hair transplantation is that the person has enough hair follicles from the donor part to the planting area and can be applied successfully to all people who have enough hair follicles.
With the developing cutting-edge technology and the latest techniques, hair transplantation applications continue to develop today and we use all the developing technologies and techniques in our Hospital.
ON THE DAY OF THE HAIR TRANSPLANT
On the day of the surgery, an amount of long-lasting numbing injection will be used to anesthetize the scalp of the patient, then a little Valium will be given to relieve anxiety off the patient. The experience will be made so comfortable that patients will be so relaxed, read books or listen to music during the several hours they spend at the hospital. If the patient during their consultation expresses a wish to undergo the procedure with light sedation, we have our anesthesiologist present for the whole time of the procedure.
AFTER THE HAIR TRANSPLANT
After the hair transplant surgery session at Medikoy Hospital the patient can return back home or to their hotel room for patients coming to Istanbul from far countries. On the following day after the surgery, patients can take bathe and two days after surgery gently wash their hair. For the first week the forehead may appear slightly swollen, the back of the scalp will feel tight and small scabs will sit where the transplants were placed. But all these will soon disappear and the patient will be able to then return to normal social, work and physical activities. The growth of the transplanted hair is just like the growth of a “seed in a garden.” The New hair growth takes some months to begin but then subsequently, it becomes rooted and ever healthier. At 12 weeks most patients begin to notice new hair growth and the results become thrilling.
