Hair Transplant Donor Area

A hair transplant is the transference of hair grafts from a donor region to another region affected by normal male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss.

This is done by removing a strip of hair bearing scalp from the back or lastly the sides of the head where hair growth is permanent and not affected by Dihydrotestosterone. (The most common donor area is from the back instead of the sides). Physicians that use the sides above the ears first for donor area are taking a chance of cutting one of your main arteries and not a very wise decision.

We never leave a wide scar in the back donor area as do other clinics and chains that we have seen from their work. Patients come from all around the world to our Medical Institute to have us repair their donor scars when they get a density session done or a scar revision corrected. We are the only Medical Institute that uses our Fine Facial Suture and Fine Facial Plastic Suture Closure Technique after the donor area is removed.

We have seen other clinics and chains try to use the internet to bad mouth every Facility out on the market today. They pose that they are patients and have had a bad procedure done to try to convert business to themselves, again saying they are patients, so be careful and don’t fall for these deceptions.

This strip of hair bearing scalp can vary greatly in size but as just an example: can measure 1-2 cm wide and 6-8 cm long (depending on the amount of grafts you are getting). After it is removed, the Doctor will suture this donor area back together with one running suture. This suture will need to be removed in 10 days and not longer than 14 days. In most cases, the hair transplant scar that is left behind will be very thin like a cat scratch and will fade over time. If you wear your hair a 1/8 inch or more in the back, you will have no problem in covering it up, if you can even find it.

Our Medical Facility cautions that some hair transplant clinics cut too deep when they extract the donor strip for hair grafts causing you more pain afterwards in healing. "You have to take special care to not go too deep. You only need to go as deep as the dermis layer, to the top edge of the fat layer underneath”.

Many hair transplant clinics and surgeons go past the hair bulb, dermis and into the fat layer and below when harvesting the donor scalp. "This causes more pain in the first week of healing and takes longer for the feeling and nerves to bounce back”.

"We only go as deep as we have to and this results in faster healing time, less discomfort and the temporary numbness bounces back faster”.

While the Physician is suturing your donor area, another Doctor, Medical Assistant, Staff technician member then divides the hair bearing donor scalp into the desired size hair grafts. Our implant professionals will "dissect" these grafts into follicular units with the aid of microscopes and microscopic like "goggles" under extremely powerful lights built for surgical rooms.

Depending on your particular pattern of hair loss and the mutually agreed upon approach to giving you the best hair transplant results, these hair grafts can vary in size but include:

Follicular Units (most common), micro 1-2 haired units, mini 3-5 haired units and sometimes even 6-9 haired maxi size grafts for density if desired. (Never the old style plugs that contained 12-18 hairs per cylinder).

Once divided into follicular units or larger hair grafts, a Doctor or Physicians Assistant will prepare the recipient area of your hair loss affected region for graft implantation. Tiny incisions are made with a "micro needle” in the recipient area. This is where your scalp will “receive” your new hair for a lifetime.

This is not as easy to do as it sounds. Great care and Artistic approach must go into choosing where to make these apertures (tiny slits which will receive the new hair grafts). The hairline must be recreated to appear natural with grafts staggered so as not to appear to form a uniform line. Minimal space will be left between apertures to allow enough blood to flow to each unit. You may need a future hair implantation that will give your hair even more "density" at a later date. Should you loose anymore of your natural hair due to aging.

Often, a hair implantation team will work together - one making the recipient incision while the others implant your new grafts.

Once your hair implant procedure is finished, your Doctor or Staff will advise you on how to take care of your newly implanted grafts over the next few days. Keep in mind, in all cases of hair transplants, the new grafts will form a "scab" as they heal. Eventually, in 7-14 days, these scabs will heal and then these grafts may shed the old transplanted hair with the scab.

Yes, the newly transplanted hair will fall off with the scab. Sometimes you may keep about 10% but this is not too common.

However, do not worry! In about 3-4 months, most common time frame (Medical text book claims 4-6 months) and sometimes up to 12 months later depending on if you are diabetic or how fast your body heals, your new and permanent hair will grow in its place forever.

(We take great care in moving your existing hair out of the way) to get our micro needle down to your scalp for your new transplants. But, your hair may look a (little) thinner directly after your surgery due to some of your longer hair getting nicked as the micro needle gets to the scalp to make a new aperture. This hair will grow back to length immediately and be about a inch long in a few months. This hair doesn’t have to go though the 3-4 month dormant cycle like the new transplants.
