Female Hair Loss: Hair Transplant

[melor]

Female hair loss is often overlooked as hair loss seem to afflict more males than females. Many people believe it just doesn't happen, but it does. The effects on a woman are devastating. Much emphasis has been placed on the physical looks of a woman that when she begins to lose her hair, it is traumatic to her self esteem. There are some good options to help a woman who is losing her hair. Most of the treatment methods are just for hair loss remedy and prevention. In certain cases, these hair loss remedies may not be effective. Many women in these situations would want to get back the hair they have lost. No one likes to wear a wig everyday. That is where the option of surgery comes in.

 

In a hair transplant surgery, there are two ways hair is replaced. Depending on how the hair is lost, the methods can be follicle transplant or larger area transplant. In a follicle type, transplant individual hairs are transplanted to the thinning areas. In the other method, flaps of skin containing live hair are transplanted. Each method ends with the same desired result of replacing lost hair.

 

It is important to find out if hair transplant can meet your needs and be the answer to your hair loss. If you lose hair mainly from the top of your head then you have experienced the correctable form of hair loss. This is because the areas where you have not lost hair can be donor areas for the hair to be transplanted with little worry that they will grow once transplanted. The second type of hair loss is a thinning throughout the entire head and this way can not be corrected through surgery.

 

Hair transplant surgery is not always the answer for everyone. Some may have to have multiple surgeries to get the desired results. Deciding if you are a candidate for hair loss should be discussed between you and your doctor.

One has to be more careful on women regarding hair transplant expectations. If the patient thinks that she will go from significant hairloss, to a result similar to all of those magazines on the checkout line at the grocery store, she will be disappointed and likely very angry.

 

If the challenge is to repair sideburn hairloss from a facelift, it is easy to make the person happy with just a smallish procedure.

 

Those are the 2 extremes. More commonly, we can take a woman with thinning hair, particularly noticable at the "part line" and transplant the part area, so that when it grows in, the part will not look thinning.
