FUE Hair Transplant

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

FUE hair transplant, which treats hair loss and baldness permanently, is a cosmetic hair follicle transplantation treatment performed with local anesthesia. Hair transplantation with FUE is the most effective and permanent technology discovered in the fight against hair loss and allows us to achieve the best results regardless of the underlying cause of hair loss.

Thinning hair, regression in the hairline, baldness in the temples and complete baldness are symptoms of hair loss, which can have many different underlying causes. Although hair transplantation is still primarily discussed among men, the number of female patients experiencing hair loss or male pattern baldness is steadily increasing. The FUE method is the basis of hair transplant surgery, and its development is largely responsible for the current state of the field.

Thanks to FUE, which was developed with the discovery that the follicular unit can be transplanted as an organ, it has been possible to work independently with each hair follicle. Thus, many advantages such as interfering with the angles of the hair follicles with each other, using the grafts in different parts of the head according to their thickness, planning the growth direction of the hair follicle in a way to achieve the best aesthetic result are obtained.

How is FUE Hair Transplantation Performed?

Nuchal grafts are collected, channels are created in the recipient area and follicular units are implanted. This is the simplest method to perform FUE method. However, each person’s hair transplant strategy is unique. The area of the head that needs to be transplanted, its width and the type of hair loss play a role in determining how much it will cost. This is the most important aspect to consider when organizing a hair transplant.

The stages of FUE Procedure may vary in detail depending on the amount of grafts taken from the donor area and the number of channels opened in the recipient area. For example, although it is common practice to start by taking grafts from the donor area, it may be preferable to start by opening the channels to minimize the time that hair follicles spend exposed. Before planting, grafts harvested with FUE are sorted by thickness and rootedness in the donor area. This is the most critical and sensitive part of the FUE procedure. Each graft’s exposure to the elements is carefully timed to reduce the risk of destruction of the hair follicle. Some things, such as the order in which hair follicles are transplanted, are more sensitive than others.

Stages of FUE Method

When we say FUE Hair Transplant Procedure, we mean that the hair follicles are taken one by one and transplanted one by one to the area where hair loss is experienced. In all hair transplantation techniques, hair follicles are taken from the donor area one by one in the same way and transplanted to the recipient area one by one.

Before FUE Hair Transplantation

Our hospital is to inform patients who are concerned about FUE technique in every aspect and in all its details and to meet their expectations in the best way.

In our opinion as Confident Hair Clinic, the most important thing to do before FUE method is to clearly understand the expectations of the patient about Hair Transplantation, to inform the patient about how close this expectation can be achieved with the existing donor area and to be open and honest about it.

Am I a suitable candidate for FUE?

If the hair and hair follicles in the donor area are weak, it may not be possible to have the thickness of hair you expect even though you are a suitable candidate for FUE.

Since hair loss due to stress and hormonal changes begins at a very young age, the age of hair transplantation is between 20 and 60 years of age, and the negative psychological effects of hair loss often increase the severity of hair loss. The shortest way out of this vicious circle will be to consult experts in this field and get the right information about Hair Transplantation, without waiting to remain completely bald.

FUE Method is the most successful technique in hair transplantation, which is suitable for men and women of all ages. 9 out of 10 candidates who come to our hospital for hair transplantation are usually suitable candidates for FUE method. What is important here is what the patient expects in hair transplantation.

The fact that you are a suitable candidate for FUE hair transplantation does not mean that you will definitely get the result you expect in hair transplantation.

FUE Hair Transplantation

All stages of FUE Method operation consist of 6 steps. You can also think of these steps as the flow of your surgery day at Confident Hair Clinic.

FUE Technique Examination

You will undergo a detailed examination before FUE technique. At this stage, the history of hair loss is listened to, the type of hair loss is determined, the condition of the scalp is examined and the causes of hair loss are determined.

Graft reserve is evaluated in the donor area. Hair transplantation FUE technique is used to evaluate the donor area in the best way and informs the patient about how a hair transplantation result can be obtained.

At this stage, some blood tests and general pre-operative procedures are also performed.

FUE Procedure Planning / Number of Grafts

Hair transplantation planning can be summarized as dividing the grafts to be taken from the donor area into the recipient area that becomes bald or sparse with hair loss.

Planning is the most important stage in hair transplantation that provides natural results and better evaluation of existing hair. It requires an engineering approach with an artistic and aesthetic point of view.

If the planning is done well in FUE method, the result tends to be exactly as we want and hair transplantation is performed as a result of patient satisfaction.

FUE Method Hairline

After determining the number of grafts to be removed, determining the position of the hairline facilitates the distribution of the graft taken.

The hairline should be neither too far behind nor too far ahead. A hairline that is aesthetically compatible with the person’s face, natural and useful in terms of the direction of the hair, allows us to achieve the best results in hair transplantation.

In our hospital, the location of the hairline is decided together with the patient.

Anesthesia

FUE method is performed under local anesthesia. According to the duration of application in each protocol hair transplantation, the anesthesia dose is different for each patient. In hair transplantation, it is possible to minimize the discomfort caused by painless anesthesia without needles.

Removal of hair grafts

The area between the two ears on the nape of the neck is the donor area for hair transplantation. After being anesthetized under anesthesia, according to a necessary schedule for hair grafts, the donor is harvested one by one from the site.

There are different graft structures, single hair follicles and multiple hair follicles, and in hair transplantation, we need hair strands and roots of different thickness in each region. For this reason, the roots taken before hair transplantation are separated according to their thickness and number of roots. At this time, the hair follicles are kept in a special solution where they can be kept alive.

Opening the Channels

Channels of different thicknesses are opened at a 45-degree angle with the area to be planted. In FUE method, steel slides are used when opening the channel and grafts are collected.

In order for the hair to look voluminous, the directions and angles of the transplanted roots to each other and to the scalp should be well calculated.

After FUE Method

FUE technique is a long operation that takes 6 to 8 hours. After local anesthesia, the patient has an extremely comfortable surgical process. But sitting for long periods of time will make you feel tired.

First wash

1 day after FUE method, the first washing is done by the hair transplantation nurse or specialist. Hair follicles are examined. And over the next year, step by step, you will be given some information about how the process will proceed after FUE hair transplantation. The patient is informed about wound care.
