How can one estimate FUE transplant outcome? Several factors impact the FUE success rate – not only the procedure. We have seen a grafting take the average to a successful 90-95% when performed by a properly qualified team, though. It is the actual procedure of great results to average to a bad one; not entirely what is actually taking place is at the root.
What Is FUE and Why Does It Matter?
The FUE technique – standing for Follicular Unit Extraction – is the gold standard of modern hair transplant. Instead of large strips of scalp and sutures, single hair roots are individually harvested from the donor and carefully replaced into areas of baldness or hair thinning. It causes no stitches and a non linear scarring and allows you to return to your usual activities rapidly
The Surgeon’s Skill Is the Biggest Variable
Nothing has a bigger impact on results than who performs the procedure. This doesn’t just mean who is cutting hairs, but someone who understands the facial structure and will craft your hairline for it,angle every graft to naturally growing direction and adjust at the time based on your scalp. It takes a good hand to pull off the best results. Inexperienced hands pull off too low placement, at the incorrect angles, grafts can be damaged during collection, incorrect Density can give an un-natural hair density look.
Graft Handling: The Detail Most Clinics Overlook
The amount of time the follicles spend out of the body between extraction and implantation. This can be the most important period of all. The improper handling of grafts, or allowing them to become too hot or too dry while out of the body, can kill them before they ever even get to your scalp.
High quality clinics will:
i) store the grafts in a special holding fluid
ii) only handle them with high powered magnification so as to not damage the hair follicle structure
iii) implant them quickly to minimize time out of the body.
Pay attention to these details and they can determine if 60% of the grafts survived versus 95%.
Your Donor Area Density Matters More Than You Think
Donor site- Usually the back and sides of the scalp, needs to have enough healthy follicles to cover the recipient area. It stands to reason that if the donor area is thin and over-plucked, there will not be enough donor hair for dense and natural results.
That’s why a good pre-op scalp analysis is mandatory. A decent clinic will be honest, and tell you if your donor density supports the coverage you desire or if a more suitable option for you will be dense hair implantation in Gurgaon.
Post-Procedure Care Is Half the Battle
Plenty of patients listen perfectly to instructions on the day of the procedure but then ‘tune out’ in the weeks following. A patient’s habit during the recovery period really plays more of a role than most imagine. The factors which ultimately influence a patient’s success post-op are:
i)Sunlight-A direct hit from the sun will most certainly harm your grafts and the healing scalp.
ii) Exercise-Any major work-out in the first two weeks of healing will induce more swelling and can dislodge grafts.
iii)Scalp Care-Wash your scalp with improper technique can lead to infection or loss of grafts.
iv)Medications-Certain prescription medications & supplements may influence the viability of your grafts if not previously communicated with your surgeon.
Patients that take heed of these instructions will see an obvious betterment in their results compared to those who simply dismiss these instructions.
Realistic Expectations Lead to Real Satisfaction
One of the factors in “success” most commonly ignored is what the patient was expecting. A transplant can’t make new hair, it simply moves what you do have. With severe baldness or inadequate donor coverage, even the most skilled surgeon will face certain limitations. A clinic that’s able to manage expectations realistically, and explain not only the procedure but also the timeline (10 to 12 months to full results), and realistic density level gains will produce, invariably happier patients, with the exact same result as the one who was clueless.
