HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

 Hair transplantation

Hair Transplantation has evolved over the years. We adopt the Latest State of The Art Follicular Unit Extraction(FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation(FUT) Technology . The technology is very patient friendly , hassle free with zero complications. It is a Walk- in Walk-out Day care procedure with no admission. No rest is needed and one can resume work the very next day if needed !

Day of Surgery :

You should take a head bath, eat your regular breakfast and drive to our clinic in your own vehicle. You can drive back safely home later in the evening. An attendant is not mandatory. But if there is one you want to accompany you, that person can come along with you. Most of our patients come alone.

After filling up consent form and finishing all the formalities, you are ushered to your room and given surgical dress to change into. Dr. John  will come over, check your blood pressure and vital signs and discuss the surgical plan with you. You are given pre- medication and hair is trimmed as per the need and escorted to the surgical theatre.

We keep playing the popular FM stations and you can relax listening to the latest music on the radio.

Donor Harvesting :

Since the permanent non balding donor hair is at the back of your head, you are made to lie face down with the forehead comfortably placed on a prone pillow . This is the only time you will be lying in this way. During the rest of the procedure, you shall be lying on your back.

We use innovative technique to minimize the pain of local anesthesia which is followed by strip harvesting. Trichophytic closure ensures a fine scar after healing. The whole procedure takes 45 minutes to an hour. The patient is sent back to his room where he/ she can lie down normally making phone calls, watching TV or simply dozing off. The attendant is allowed in the room while the patient is resting there.

Dissection of Follicular Units :

The donor strip is microscopically dissected first into slivers and then the inter follicular tissue is removed creating naturally occurring Follicular Units. Each unit contains one to three and occasionally four hairs.

Hair Canal Creation & Implantation :

The bald area is anesthetized and Dr. John  skillfully draws natural looking hair line design and creates hair canals in the bald area of the patient's scalp and the follicular units are carefully and deftly implanted into the hair canals in a precise manner creating a natural appearance at the hair line and giving a fuller look behind. This could take two and half hours or more depending on the area of coverage.

No  bandage is placed on the head and the patient goes back to his room and changes the surgical dress. Tea / coffee is offered and medication for the next five days is given. All the precautions to be taken are explained and the patient is sent home.

Follow Up :

 No bandage. The patient is mobile and no bed rest is needed on the second day. The patient can go sight seeing, movie watching and shopping on the second day with out any restriction. Out station patients can leave Hyderabad soon after .

For those in Hyderabad, Hair wash is given on fifth day and surgical staples at the donor area are removed after two weeks. Out station patients can do so at their place. Any general surgeon would remove the staples. Dr. John  is accessible to the surgeon on mobile explaining the type of staples used.

Free follow up visits are advised after three months, six months and ten months. Meanwhile, Dr.John  is accessible to his patients either on Telephone or e-mail
