Hair transplantation is the surgical process of planting hair follicles in a part of the body, called the donor area in the recipient site or the bald area. This technique is generally used to treat male pattern baldness and can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows and to hide scars due to accidents or previous surgery. This process is carried out in two different ways: FUE and FUT. If the hair loss is permanent, you can choose between hair grafting and regaining the natural appearance by one of these two methods.
When we talk about survival rates, follicles, FUE is behind FUT. The FUE method has less protective tissue with individual hair follicles and therefore has less chance of survival. It must be taken into account that the treatment of these follicles requires an expert and therefore the best one must be chosen for your hair transplant.
Although the surgery involved in hair transplantation is considered very safe, the person can sometimes suffer side effects. However, the side effects of a hair transplant are generally minimal and can be easily treated with prescription medications.
Some side effects in hair transplantation
Temporary hair thinning.
Some people suffer from baldness and others from weight loss. This is a normal postoperative condition and the thickness will return a few months after the surgery. The transplant does not change the total number of hairs on the head, it simply redistributes them.
· Severe itching is very common after hair transplantation. It is generally due to the formation of crusts.
· A side effect of hair transplant surgery can include bleeding and pain.
· Another common side effect of hair transplant surgery is numbness. This can last several weeks after surgery.
· Continuous hypo is another side effect that the patient experiences after the procedure. Not all, but only around five percent of patients suffer from this problem.
· Swelling of the scalp is also known after surgery. The swelling also covers the forehead and sometimes even the eyes. This only lasts a few days.
· The infection is very rare. A good amount of antibiotics is administered before and after the procedure, which generally prevents the appearance of any type of infection.
· Cysts can appear in areas where the hair is transplanted, also called recipient areas. In general, they do not last more than a few weeks and are rarely the size of small grains.
By following the instructions for postoperative care, these side effects can be significantly reduced and lead to satisfaction and rapid healing.
The advantages of hair transplantation
· When baldness becomes severe and permanent, hair transplantation is pleasantly beneficial. With the hair at your disposal, you can choose not to have one instead.
· One of the scientific advantages of hair transplantation is the uniformity of the distribution. The technique is carried out with optimization so that its total follicular distribution remains intact.
· Through this medically operated technique, you should not choose other forms of treatment for hair growth. The implanted or grafted hair will continue to grow.

· The fact that he is the donor is also one of the advantages.
· Although pain problems can be adequately treated with localized sedation, you should not worry about the total lack of consciousness.

If the person is under 25 years of age and suffers from continuous hair loss.
If the patient has medical conditions or heart problems, diabetes or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Trichotillomania
These people have psychological problems and often pull their hair out. If their condition is activated, they need psychiatric advice.
Low density in the back of the head
