FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING THE BEST HAIR RESTORATION IN THE WORLD
There are numerous elements that come into play when building up to your ideal hair transplant results. You have to be in good general health and have no allergies to anesthesia, scarring tendencies, or blood clotting abnormalities to even be considered a candidate. You have to have an adequate donor supply, which means that if you’re severely bald, body hair transplant is your only option. You have to have your finances in order, with a possible savings, to afford the per graft cost.
But the two most important considerations are:
- Technique and Equipment
- Surgeon Certifications and Experience as well as patient Results
- Publications and Acclaim
Nothing can sway the results of your surgery like the method used and the skill level of the surgeon performing that method.
Choosing the Best Technique
PREAMBLE: Today’s leading techniques are follicular unit transplant (also called FUT and strip harvesting) and follicular unit extraction. While both of these techniques are commonly used, they vary greatly in their excision method. Making the superior choice is the first step on the path to the best hair restoration in the world.
FUT harvests the grafts by cutting a linear strip of flesh from the mid-occipital scalp. This is considered the traditional donor zone, because the hair there has a high survival and yield rate and is immune to DHT. It is the faster method between the two, and the cheaper, price-wise. However, known disadvantages are the invasiveness of the surgery, the extended healing time, and the infamous strip scar it leaves behind. This scar starts out pencil thin but stretches over time. Concealment of the scar puts a limitation on future haircuts and styles, confining the recipient to having long hair. The best procedure should execute a life-changing aesthetic without creating such limitations. Strip surgery is limited to a donor pool lifetime supply of 5000-7000 grafts which are insufficient for significantly bald patients as well as those whose donors have been decimated by prior surgeries
FUE harvests the grafts by removing them from the scalp one at a time with a .8-1.2mm punching device. This tedious action can take several labor-intensive hours for the surgeon, but yields a far more visually pleasing long-term result. FUE enables the surgeon to select donor hairs from outside the traditional zone, thus more effectively rendering an accurate and natural-looking re-creation of scalp hair. For example, hairline hairs (taken from the nape of the neck, where hair texture is finer) appear soft and gradual. The best hair restoration in the world would require a technique that is minimally invasive, does not require wound closures, and proffers negligible scarring. All of which FUE promises.
Furthermore, FUE is the only technique with the ability to incorporate non-head hair for extreme cases. Without body hair transplant, restoration would still be impossible for thousands of hair loss sufferers.
