Hair replacement is a rather involved process that can take months or even years, depending on how much exposed scalp you are trying to cover. If you are trying to fill in a large surface area of your scalp it will take several years to go through the process because each visit a small part of your hair is basically removed from the side or back of you head and sewn into the top/crown of your head to fill in the empty bald space. After each session where bits of hair are moved, you have to wait several months for both areas(donor and recipient) of the scalp to recover and heal fully before you can continue the process. Doctors can only move small patches of hair each time for the process to work at it’s best. Yes it is a highly involved, lengthy process, but it is also one of the most effective and, in the end, natural looking hair replacement methods you can undergo. Unlike the old school plug techniques of the past that made you look like a Ken doll from the 70s or 80s, this will really be your hair and look like real hair coming out of your scalp.
Once you have made it through the time-intensive process and your scalp is fully populated with a living, growing, full head of hair, the success rates for this kind of hair replacement surgery are about as high as they come – normally in the 95% range for most men and women who undergo the surgical process. Many people are hesitant to dive into the major time commitment this process takes as they don’t have the patience to wait it out and are concerned about looking or feeling weird during the process itself as patches of hair start to appear on their head and they have to go through the healing process each time. But if you are serious about replacing your hair and you want it to look natural and last a lifetime, and you have the patience, time and money to really see the process through all the way, hair replacement surgery can really be a great long term choice for a man or woman wanting to return to having a full, lustrous head of hair once again.
If you are interested in finding out more about hair replacement surgery, talk to your doctor or a hair replacement specialist in your area about the technique and see if it may be right for you.
