The biggest and most frequent questions we receive at our clinic are, “Is Hair Transplant Dangerous?” or “Can Hair Transplant cause complications?” The answer to almost all these questions is 96% negative. However, there are some risks that one needs to know about before getting a hair transplant. In this discussion, we will explore these risks, the methods to mitigate them, and how our clinic ensures 100% safety and 110% results!
Is Hair Transplant Dangerous?
Getting a hair transplant is a life-altering decision. Many factors, from genetics to habits, cause hair loss, which can lead to acute to major balding. After trying all-natural methods to grow hair back, a hair transplant might be the only solution. This surgical procedure involves extracting hair from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting it into the recipient area (often the frontal space of the head but can be anywhere).
Hair Transplant Methods
There are two primary methods of hair transplantation:
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
A small strip of hair is cut from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area. Strips are usually around 1 cm but can vary with patients.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Individual hairs are extracted from the donor area and then transplanted to the recipient area.
Both methods provide excellent results, but there are some risks associated, particularly with FUT.
Risks of Hair Transplantation
FUT Risk
- Scarring: Some patients undergoing FUT have experienced scarring in the donor area, resulting in an unappealing appearance.
- Hygiene Issues: Poor hygiene in clinics can lead to many botched FUT procedures.
Risks with FUE
- Short Hair Follicle Lifetime: Individual hair extracted through FUE can have a shorter lifetime if not successfully extracted by the doctor, reducing the success of the procedure.
- Preservation: The preservation of FUT strips and FUE hair follicles is crucial. Some clinics and doctors fail to protect them adequately, thereby lowering their success rates.
