Advanced FUE Hair Transplant Surgery: Detailed Process
The Advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique has gained prominence in the field of hair transplantation due to its precision, minimal invasiveness, and superior outcomes. Here's a detailed overview of each step involved in the process:
1. Consultation
In the consultation phase, the surgeon conducts an in-depth analysis of both the recipient and donor areas of the patient. The patient's expectations are discussed, and a tailored operation plan is developed. This includes the design of a hairline that complements the patient's facial profile while considering realistic expectations. The doctor also considers the patient's hair type, scalp condition, and desired density to achieve the best results.
2. Preparation
On the day of the procedure, pre-operative preparations begin with essential testing to ensure the patient is fit for surgery. The scalp is sterilized, and local anesthesia is administered to numb the donor and recipient areas, ensuring the patient experiences minimal discomfort during the procedure.
3. Harvesting of Hair Follicles
In this crucial phase, hair follicles are harvested one by one using cylindrical needles. The use of 0.7mm to 1.0mm diameter needles ensures that follicles are extracted with minimal distortion, depending on the number of hairs in each follicular unit.
- Tools: For patients with 3-4-5 hair grafts, slightly larger diameter needles are used to accommodate the size of the follicles. The sharpness of these needles, along with their single-use nature, plays a vital role in ensuring a successful outcome.
- Curly Hair: For individuals with curly hair, specialized curved punches (e.g., U-graft) are utilized to extract follicles without damaging them, avoiding complications caused by hair curvature.
- Comparison to FUT: Unlike the FUT method, which involves removing a strip of scalp and then slicing it to obtain follicles, FUE is minimally invasive and leaves no linear scars.
4. Recipient Site Preparation & Creation of Incisions
In this step, the recipient area (the balding or thinning area) is prepared. The latest advancements in FUE involve the use of ultra-sharp, smooth blades or needles to create incisions for the hair follicles.
- Precision: The sharper blades make it easier to determine the correct angle, direction, and depth of the incisions, allowing for natural-looking results.
- Healing: Advanced blades and needles also promote faster healing, minimizing scarring in the transplanted area. For each patient, new, unused blades are utilized to ensure hygiene and prevent complications.
5. Transplantation of Hair Follicles
This final stage involves the careful implantation of hair follicles. The grafts are placed one by one into the pre-made incisions at a precise angle of 40-45 degrees, ensuring they match the natural growth pattern of the surrounding hair.
- Accuracy: Attention to angle, direction, and depth ensures that the transplanted hairs look natural and blend seamlessly with existing hair.
- Experience Matters: The surgeon's expertise in handling all three stages is critical for achieving the desired outcome.
6. Post-Operative Processes
After the surgery, the donor site is dressed to protect the area and promote healing. The patient is given detailed instructions for post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery.
7. Post-Operative Care & Clot Removal Wash
For the next 7 days, special care is taken during the washing process. Both the donor and recipient areas remain sensitive, and the washing process is designed to remove clots gently without causing any trauma to the newly transplanted grafts.
- Care Instructions: Patients are provided with post-operative instructions on how to clean their scalp and minimize the risk of infection during the healing period.
Why Choose Advanced FUE?
