10 Things You Should Know Before FUE Hair Transplant

Getting a hair transplant surgery is a big decision that needs a lot of deliberation before you finally decide to go under the knife. Once you have decided to go to the operation table to restore your hairline, you need to educate yourself about the procedure as much as possible. There are various hair transplant techniques used for donor hair extraction – Follicular Unit Extraction and Follicular Unit Transplant being the two most commonly practiced method.

While both FUE and FUT are equally effective when it comes to restoring the hairline, the former is preferred more for some obvious reasons:

• It is minimally invasive
• It involves less pain and bleeding
• It does not leave behind a linear scar
• It can be used on tight scalps as well
• It is ideal for people with limited donor supply

If you are also planning to undergo FUE Hair Transplant Dubai, it is very wise to educate yourself about the procedure as much as possible. This will not only allow you get the most out of the surgery but will also help you prepare well for the surgery and enjoy an eventful recovery. Listed below are 10 things that you should know before FUE Hair Transplant:

 1.  Know your options:

With the advent of Stem Cell FUE, donor hair harvesting has become even more easy and fast. Though both FUE and Stem Cell FUE involve taking out hair follicles individually, the former is a manual process in which the surgeon extracts the follicles manually using a small punch tool, whereas the latter uses motorized punch to extract hair follicles. Discuss with the provider all the options of your choice.

2.  Choose the best surgeon:

Your hair transplant outcome depends directly on the experience and surgical skills of the person performing the surgery. So, never compromise on the experience of your surgeon. Go for a surgeon who specializes in hair restoration only and has experience of several years of performing FUE hair transplants. Make a list of 3 to 5 best surgeons in your access and schedule consultations with them. This will help you select the best surgeon out of them.

3.  Know the right time for surgery:

Getting FUE hair transplant at a very young age – before 28 – may not be a wise decision as you may continue to lose hair after the procedure, for which you may need more surgeries. Discuss with your surgeon and know the right time to get a hair transplant.

4.  Where to get the procedure done:

Since the patient has to consult the surgeon at least a couple of times during the recovery period as well, many people prefer getting the procedure performed locally. But if you want the very best results in one hair transplant procedure, it can be beneficial to travel to the neighboring city – and at time neighboring countries as well – to get FUE Hair Transplant.

5.  Cost of Procedure:

Cost is always an important consideration, regardless of which hair transplant technique you opt for. Use internet to compare costs of top 3 or 5 hair restoration clinics in the town. If possible, visit the clinics. This will give you a fair idea of what price you should be paying to get the best services. However, don’t let low price tempt you.

6.  Pros and Cons of FUE hair transplant

Like any other surgical procedure, FUE Hair Transplant also has its pros and cons. Discuss with your surgeon advantages and disadvantages of the procedure. Also ask your doctor about the risks involved, and that in case of any mishap who is going to bear the expenses.

7.  Preparation and After-care:

Don’t forget to discuss with your surgeon the pre- and post-op care as well as the recovery time. Your surgeon should be able to guide you in the best possible way about the recovery period. Ask your doctor what you can do to avoid the risks and complications associated with FUE hair transplant. There is a long list of things that you have to avoid to enjoy a smooth recovery process.

8.  Risk Factor:

Although Follicular Unit Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive, very safe procedure, after all it is a surgery that does involve some degree of risks and complications. So, it is very important to beware of the possible side effects. Bleeding, swelling and numbness of scalp are some very common side effects but they are all temporary and should subside in a few weeks.

9.  Discuss with your friends and family:

We understand discussing the ugly side of yours with people is not easy, but the truth is, no one can give you an honest advice about your looks than your friends and family. It is a great idea to get views of your closed ones before deciding on whether you need a hair transplant or not. However, it is pertinent to mention here that hair transplant surgery is a very individualized procedure that you should undergo for yourself and not just because girlfriend wants you to get one.

10.  Have Realistic Expectations:

Having realistic expectation about the outcome is very important. Your hair transplant result will primarily depend on the extent of your current hair thinning or baldness.

Bottom Line:

FUE is without any doubt capable of producing the most natural looking hairline but the suitability of every hair transplant procedure depends on certain circumstances and preferences. It is the job of your surgeon to determine which hair transplant technique or combination of techniques will be most suitable for you. Also, your surgeon should be able to give satisfactory answers to all of your questions regarding the FUE hair transplant.
