WHO CAN HAVE A HAIR TRANSPLANT?

People who experience hair problems can have a hair transplant. Certainly there has to be some criteria to be able to have a hair transplant. The most important one of these is age. Diabetes, the health of the area where the transplantation is going to be applied and the sufficiency of the donor area are also significant criteria. Apart from these, it is also important to know why you are experiencing hair problems.

Let’s look at the answer of the following question: Who can have a hair transplant with the FUE method, which is the most advanced technique in hair transplantation?

WHO CAN HAVE A HAIR TRANSPLANT WITH THE FUE TECHNIQUE?

The basic advantage ofthe hair transplantation process with the FUE technique is that there is no stitch mark left after the operation. For this reason;

• For patients who use their hair very short, this is a reason to prefer the FUE technique, because even in too short hair no sign of operation is seen. If the patient scrapes his/her hair, very small point-shaped marks are slightly observed. This is related to the direction of the hair growth after the operation. In patients whom the FUE technique was applied, no scars are left behind at the end of the healing process.
• This technique is preferred on young patients, whose hair losses in the future could not be detected, since the area of transplantation is small.
• The scalps of the patients, who have had a hair transplant with the FUT method earlier, may be sensitive. For this reason the second transplantation may be done with the FUE method. Thus, new hair roots are reached without damaging the previous ones.
• The FUE method can be applied to cover a large stitched area from where thegraft collecting procedure was applied with the FUT technique.
• Male pattern hair loss (Androgenic)
• Female pattern hair loss
• This technique can be applied for hair loss due to burns.
• Accident and surgery scars (Brain, face lift operation etc.)
• The FUE technique is again preferred for regional hair loss due to pre-existingscalp infections.
• It can also be applied to get results incongenital regional hair loss.
• The FUE technique is also performed for hair loss, which has occured as a result of the extreme tension on hair (Traction alopecia).
