About hair transplant on scar tissue

The hair is one of the most sensitive points of man. Even a small problem found there can lead to a loss of self-confidence. There are many people whose appearance has deteriorated due to childhood or recent wounds. These people are asking questions about hair transplant on the scar. We can say that, like other hair transplant operations, the hair transplant on scar operation can be performed very easily in Turkey. A hair transplant on a scar is an operation that requires more sensitivity than other hair transplant operations. For this, it is necessary to choose doctors who are specialists in their field and hair clinics that are adequate in all respects. The right choices from the very beginning will help you achieve healthy and natural-looking hair in a much shorter time.

What is the procedure like?

There are not too big differences between hair transplant on the scar and other hair transplant operations. However, according to the nature of the scar, preliminary examinations should be done more carefully. The operation can be performed after detailed examinations of the viability of the injured area and blood circulation in the area. In addition, the hardness of the area should also be taken into account during the preliminary examination. This happens during the hair transplant operation, after a slightly more difficult process to achieve a natural appearance. As with all hair transplant operations, the nape roots are the areas where the best hair follicles are located. The hair follicles taken from the nape should be planted at a proper angle to the area where the wound is. Carrying out this operation correctly, properly and carefully will increase the chances of success of the operation. If there is not enough hair on the nape, taking into account the recommendations of the specialist, hair on the chest or areas where there is a beard can be used. Because of these, maximum attention should be paid to the selection of a hair clinic and a specialist doctor who will operate. In addition, people who are going to have a hair transplant should also have sufficient information about the operation inside.

Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a hair transplant technique that has been applied for more than 30 years all over the world. It is supported by advanced technology all over the world. Although it is one of the oldest known hair methods, it is also one of the most time-tested hair transplant methods. Thanks to this, it continues to be popular even today. Recently, due to the rapid progress in technology, the FUT method is less preferred. In some cases, FUT may be preferred if a hair transplant is to be performed for scars located in the hair areas. For example, if there is sparse hair in the donor area, it may be preferable to get more hair follicles. Or, if there is a lot of hair in the donor area, this method can be applied to avoid damaging the surrounding hair follicles. At the same time, those who want a more affordable hair transplant on scar method can also opt for FUT.

Follicular Unit Extraction

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is performed by removing the hair follicles one by one from the healthy area. Healthy hair is transported to the unhealthy scalp area, where the hair is thinning or not at all, by this method. Compared to follicular unit transplantation (FUT), which leads to the appearance of hair plugs, it is much preferred. Especially on the scalp with scars, performing a hair transplant with an FUE procedure provides much more successful results. Individual transportation of hair follicles with the help of surgical instruments allows operations on the scarred area to be performed more precisely. This sensitivity contributes to the fact that the hair grows faster and becomes healthier. In addition, as a result of hair transplantation on scar tissue performed using the FUE method, recovery times are also shortened.

Aftercare recovery for hair transplant on scar

If you want to recover quickly in the process after a hair transplant on scar, you should follow the instructions of your doctor. It will hurt you to go beyond what he says and use hair care products with chemical ingredients. For a few days after the hair transplant operation, you should avoid washing, scratching, combing your hair, or bumps that may occur in this area. Physical activities that can cause sweating or difficulty in your hair area should be avoided. Do not apply any lotions, ointments, or chemical products to your hair that your surgeon does not allow. Do not smoke, do not drink alcohol; reduce the consumption of tea and coffee. After a hair transplant on the scar, keep in mind things like combing or brushing your hair for at least 21 days. When lying down, try to put a pillow under your neck and go to sleep at a right angle. Also, be careful to wear wider clothes to reduce the effect of the clothes you wear on your scalp.

How long does it take for new hair to grow in the scar?

The growth rates of new hair in scar tissue vary from person to person. The lengthening time of the hair of people with advanced age and hardened skin tissue is increasing. However, hair transplanted into scar tissue located on the scalps of younger and healthier people develops faster. This process varies between 3 months and 6 months. In the studies conducted, it is seen that the hair of many people begins to grow no later than 6 months after the operation. If you want to shorten the recovery period, you should contact a specialist doctor and an experienced clinic. Our advice to you on this issue is to meet with the authorities of Rehair Istanbul. It will be possible for you to have a hair transplant operation at the best hair transplant center in Turkey at the most reasonable prices.
