Hair Transplantation
Hair loss is a fact of life. Almost everyone experiences some degree of hair loss in his or her lifetime. Although medical treatment is available for many causes of hair loss, hair transplantation is the only permanent means of hair restoration in almost all sufferers.
Hair transplantation is a highly specialized form of surgery that is performed by trained dermatologists and plastic surgeons in Singapore. While it is most often performed for male and female pattern baldness, hair loss of many causes can be treated with hair transplantation as long as the loss is fairly stable. For example, hairless scars on the scalp that arise from skin disease, trauma or previous surgery can be transplanted to hide the scar and improve the general appearance of the sufferer. Even lost eyebrows can be corrected by hair transplant to restore normality to the face.
In essence, hair transplantation involves the removal of hairy skin from a donor site on the scalp and transplanting this into bald areas (recipient site) where hair growth is desired. The process is illustrated below.
The creation of a natural and aesthetic hairline in the front and the direction of growth of the transplanted hair are two issues of primary importance to the final result of the surgery.
Possible side-effects of hair transplantation include some degree of discomfort in the immediate post-operative period, wound infection, scarring and resultant poor hair growth. Multiple sessions of transplantation may be necessary to achieve an aesthetic result depending on the age, severity of the hair loss and the personal needs of the patient.
Although hair transplantation appears to be conceptually simple, excellent results can only be obtained through meticulous surgical planning and strict attention to detail during the surgery. Properly executed, hair transplantation can free the sufferer of hair loss from the daily grind of pills, lotions and hair-pieces and offer a lifetime of satisfaction.
