Hair loss is a condition most people do not want to live with. People are always looking for that quick fix to end their hair loss woes. Some people though have tried the drugs, possibly with little or no results. For others maybe they saw results but were disappointed by the fact that once they stopped taking the drugs their hair loss went right back to where it was before. For people like this hair loss replacement surgery may be the answer they are looking for. There are different choices when it comes to these surgeries. The best part is that they can be used together or on their own.

The most common hair loss restoration surgery is hair transplants. What this procedure does is surgically place hair in your bald spots. They take this hair from your own head, in places that will not be affected by the balding. It is much like a skin graft where they take the patch of skin which contains healthy hair follicles, usually from the back of the head or the sides and attaches it to parts of the head where the follicles have died and can no longer sustain hair growth. Even though there will be scars from where the hair was taken, the doctor takes it in such a way that t will be hidden by your hair.

Another surgical procedure for helping with hair loss is scalp reduction surgery. This procedure is designed to help minimize the bald areas. What they do is go in and cut away the bald spots. Sometimes this can be done all at once or they may only be able to remove part of it if it is a large area. They then suture the scalp closed and you are on your way to having less of a bald spot. This can be used with transplant surgery to help minimize the amount of skin with hair that needs to be cut in order to fill in the bald spots.

You can also have scalp extenders placed under the skin to create more area on the scalp. This is done in areas that have healthy hair so that the new skin that grows will be healthy and produce hair as well. This is a great way to add area after you have had a scalp reduction or had a hair transplant. It is made to compliment either or both.

Hair loss replacement surgery can be very beneficial in helping you get back the full head of hair you want. However, you should always remember to know all the risks involved before beginning. Your doctor should explain all of he procedures and how they work to you before you go under the knife. You should also keep in mind that hair replacement surgery is not just a quick fix. You do not just have the surgery and presto your hair is back to normal. It can takes months to a year and multiple surgeries befre you get the results you want.
