Hair loss transplant surgery is the most common surgical procedure to treat baldness. It can help give you a fuller head of hair, which can bring back your self confidence, which can really change your life. If you have tried many medications but have been unsuccessful, hair transplants may b for your. Or if you have not tried medications because you are concerned about the fact that once you stop taking them, you go back to losing your hair then hair transplants may be for you as well. There are even a few other surgical procedures that can compliment hair transplants to give you the overall best results.

Hair loss transplant surgery uses your hair to give you more hair. Really it just rearranges your hair. What they do is go in and remove skin containing hair from areas that will not go bald, such as the back of the head and sides and use a basic skin graft technique to place them in areas where you are bald. Even though there will be a scar where they have removed your hair, they do it in such a way that it will be covered by hair. The only way someone would know it was there is if you wanted him or her to know.

Scalp reduction surgery is a procedure that can be done in conjunction with a hair transplant. What this procedure does is cut away the skin on the scalp that will no longer produce hair. This can help with hair transplant surgery by minimizing the amount of hair that needs to be transplanted. Sometimes scalp reductions can be done as a procedure by itself when the size of the balding is not that large.

Another procedure that can accompany hair loss transplant surgery is placing scalp extenders or tissue extenders under the scalp. These extenders are placed under areas of the scalp that have healthy hair. By placing them in these locations, they can increase the amount of skin that will grow hair. This is helpful with giving more area to be harvested for hair transplants or even just to help replace the hair that was lost from the transplant.

Hair loss transplant surgery is a major decision that should not be taken lightly. It is not done in one surgery but instead there are a series of surgeries that are performed to get your hair back to its original thickness. There can be risks involved as with any surgery. You will even have to recover from each of these surgeries. If you are interested in having hair transplant surgery you should talk to your doctor, they can give you a good recommendation for hair loss surgeons in your area. Once you find one, you should look them up online to see if there any reviews on them, good or bad. Make sure you understand all the risks and complications before you go under the knife. Your doctor should explain these to you, but if they don't do not be afraid to ask questions.
