Despite struggles of the drug research and development for hair loss, their conventional and medicinal approach was not able to provide with the satisfactory results so that people around the world could opt for it as an option. Here, the only opportunity is left with hair transplant surgery.

Hair transplant surgery is a treatment to promote hair growth in the bald areas over the scalp. It requires specific technique and specialized surgeon to lead this surgery. The scalp hair and hair follicle from the area where the growth of hair is maximum, is drawn out and transplanted into tiny holes or slits of the bald area on scalp. Recently, modern techniques such as follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE) are the practical approaches people demand for due to their better cosmetic outcomes and patient’s choice of treatment.  Literature says that to meet the expected coverage, one has to go through a series of surgeries that may vary from several months to an approximate period of two years.

Among many, one of the success stories of hair restoration in Pakistan, a 51 year old male client was able to get over his alopecia that is excessive hair loss, in a period of about 12 months. Patient received 29000 grafts followed by FUE. This means that it is not just the institute or the health staff involved in the procedure. It is also the coping of the client himself that helps make a difference in his look.

According to the statistical data for hair restoration, 2006, 34% increase has been reported for the hair transplant surgeries performed worldwide comparative to the data of 13%, in 2004. No doubt, the use of this opportunity would continue to rise.  One should be aware of the consequences of such treatments lead to. As money that is not wisely spent, end up in expensive mistakes. Everyone wishes to avail such options that could help them in self grooming and maintaining their self esteem. But where every invention has beneficial outcomes, there only it may also embark a client towards its worst side. There are certain risks that one should think about prior to the surgery and then opt for a well known surgeon for hair transplant in Pakistan or abroad. Above all, client needs to be aware about the two possibilities after the surgery.  Hair fall will continue even after transplant but the new hair would eventually grow out of the transplanted hair follicle. This is not because the failure of the surgery, but it is a gradual process that requires time to show its impact. Secondly, time for proper healing after a surgery should be adequate to minimize hair fall or secondary complications. Other important risks that should be given a thought are that if death of a hair follicle takes place while transplantation, no hair growth would continue in that specific area of the scalp. Moreover, one’s body image might get disturbed due to the patchy pattern of hair growth over the scalp until the series of surgery has taken place. Infection, scarring or bleeding could be the result of an inexperienced surgeon or other health care professionals under assistance.
