Abstract :

Hair transplantation process involves transferring grafts from a dense donor area to a sparsely dense recipient area. In recent years, there has been significant improvement in hair transplantation techniques and results due to better experience and the development of more suitable microsurgery equipment. In fact, hair transplant experts are starting to achieve results that look almost natural. This article provides a general assessment of the indications for technical innovations of hair transplant techniques by elaborating the effects of latest hair transplant techniques on patient selection. In this paper the whole process; from patient examination to monitoring of the results has been covered. The important aspects during consultation with the patient have been and the tests involved before the doctor determines the patient�??s suitability for hair transplantation are explained. Anticipation of the patient�??s future hair loss should be a key factor in hair transplant design. Additionally, the doctor should look at physical characteristics like hair type, hair thickness and donor density. The patient�??s age and level of hair loss according to the Norwood scale must be considered. Patients below 20 years are not suitable candidates. The process of hair transplant involves these steps; local anesthesia administration, obtaining the grafts by FUT strip or FUE method, preparation of the grafts, preparation of the recipient area, opening the channels and placing of the grafts. These procedures with their latest technological innovations have been extensively covered. The last stage involves closely monitoring the patient for one year and periodically observing the results.
