No. All of the patients are curious about the number of transpanted grafts or strands and will assume that the same result can be obtained if the same number is transplanted. But the experience of the surgeons, direction of transplantation, transplanting without damaging the graft, duration of the graft outside, the solution property that grafts stay outside and number of grafts /transplantation area ratio (density) is decisive in this issue. You will need to confirm the success and experience of the surgeon team who will perform the operation.
You should not use aspirin, Ginkgo bıloba, ginseng, vitamin E or any other herbal products one week before the surgery that may increase bleeding. Patients who have cardiac diseases, atherosclerosis, myocard infarctus, bypass surgery or stend operation history must give theır medıcal information to the doctor. For this reason if the patient uses any drugs that coencive to control bleeding, the drugs should not be used for a period under the doctor's consultation. Diabetic patients can make hair transplant but blood glucose levels must be controlled. Thyroid disorders are common, especially low thyroid hormone levels affect the success of the transplantation. If you have thyroid disorders your hormone levels must be within normal limits. Three nights before surgery, you should not drınk alcohol. On the day of the surgery you should wash your hair in the morning, and you should go to the clinic with a good breakfast.
You must again be aware that there is a difference between grafts and hairs . The most talented hair surgeon can now transplant 4500 grafts at a time. Many Swedish clinics can still today not transplant more than 2000 grafts at a time.
The transplanted hairs grow throughout your life.
As with all surgeries , there is a risk of infection but just for a hair transplant , it is very rare . If you still get an infection, it is easy to cure with antibiotics.

When the skin heals , it always occurs by the formation of scar tissue. But at FUE very small point shaped scars are formed which in practice are usually invisible and with FUT with the new way to stop the tissue, it becomes a narrow line on the scalp, often invisible or very difficult to detect.
After the transplant hair follicles go into hibernation. This means that the hair on the grafts fall off. Only after three months the new hair grows out . It can take up to 120 days before all the hair follicles have been producing new hair . Hair grows about 1 cm per month. Only after 9-12 months the hair has grown out 6-7 cm on average. Only then can you make an objective assessment of the operation.
In Sweden there are two drugs approved to treat common hereditary hair loss. It is partly a tablet, Propecia and partly a resolution, Regaine. For both preparations , these shall be used every day for life. If you quit taking them, whether it is for a shorter period or completely, you will start losing your hair again. These preparations should be used for at least 6-12 months before we can evaluate if they have had an effect or not. Surveys show that Propecia and Regaine can slow down hair loss. Some people also experience a certain new growth . People who have only seen an incipient thinning hair, obtain the best effect. Finasteride has proved slightly more efficient than Regain. Regaine can be purchased at the pharmacy and Propecia is available on prescription from your doctor. There are only few recorded side effects with these preparations. Only hair transplants can relieve symptoms with more severe hair loss. More information can be obtained by a plastic surgeon.
As a general rule it can be said that when the wounds have healed and the scabs are gone , you can go to the hairdresser and get a haircut and after about 50 – 60 days you can use the shaving machine. One should not use dye or hair gels on their hair for the first two months after surgery.
Simply said , yes! For women , it can be a great mental stress to lose her hair in a young age , making the hair transplant an option , if medicine is not having the desired effect. Hair loss in women is virtually inherited and women often lose the hair on the crown because of that. Very rarely , a woman is completely bald.
