FUE Hair Transplantation

What You Need to Know About Hair Examination and Analysis

The newest and best-resulting technique among hair transplantation methods according to our experience is Follicular Unit Extraction FUE technique. It is a method that allows us to obtain natural results.

FUE is the transplantation of the hair roots ( grafts ) that are taken from donor area ( between two ears and nape of neck region ) to the hairless regions. In this method, hair follicles (follicular units or hair grafts) harvested one by one, with using special round-tip cutters (punch ) and a micro motor. Harvested hair follicle does not regrow, because it is taken with its root. When the tiny circular holes left when grafts harvested are healed and closed, the holes will come close to each other, so there is no noticeable hair density loss which can be recognized by naked eye, in the region where hair is removed. This is especially true when the hair kept 1 cm long.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to questions you are curious about

  • Whole FUE Hair Transplantation operation is done by you?
    • It is the most common question that asked to me. I wish I can be able to do whole operation by myself. But this is not possible unfortunately. Hair transplantation is a labor intense, meticulous, time consuming operation that makes it impossible for a surgeon to do it alone. In my practise; I do the patient initial consultation ( both via mail or phone or text message) by myself, I don't use an asisstant. I inform my patient about everything I know, prepare for the operation, design the frontal hairline, make the surgical plan and distribution, prepare the recipient sites and surveillance of the whole procedure till the end. After the operation also I do follw up by myself. Graft harvesting and implantation is done by my fixed team who are very experienced and trustworthy.
  • Is FUE Hair Transplant Painful and What Kind of Anesthesia do You Use?
    • We perform our hair transplant procedures using long-acting, local anesthesia, so after the initial injections, the patient doesn’t experience any pain or discomfort. The local anesthesia (a combination of Lidocaine and Marcaine) lasts about 4-6 hours. For long sessions, we give additional anesthesia before the first wears off.
  • Is FUE Scarless Surgery?
    • All hair transplant procedures leave scars. FUT produces a linear scar at the back of the scalp that may be visible if you keep your hair short. FUE, on the other hand, leaves small dot scars at the back of the scalp that are not visible if you keep your hair 5 mm long. Even in patients who heal with no dot like scars, color difference due to pigmentation change will be evident in donor area.
  • Will there be so much swelling after FUE Hair Transplantation?
    • If you obey the instructions given to you. Probably you won't experience so much swelling after the operation. Do not bend your neck forward and sleep with your head raised at a 45- degree angle for the first 3 nights after the procedure; this may help to prevent swelling. You may use a recliner chair or 3-4 pillows.
