Hair Transplant in Delhi

Just because you are losing hair does not make you a worthy enough candidate for a transplant. If you think that you are losing too much hair and want to increase hair density then you need to meet a doctor first, who will tell you whether you can get a transplant or not. For your preliminary scalp examination, the surgeon will check your recipient area to understand how large it is and then the donor area will be checked to ensure that there are enough grafts. Here are some of the criteria that will help decide whether you are an ideal candidate for the procedure:

• Your hair loss should have stabilised
• A condition such as androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness will make you a better candidate
• There should be a well-defined donor and recipient area
• If your hair loss is because of medication or medical conditions, then you will not be an ideal candidate

In the past few years, a growing number of clinics have sprouted all over Delhi NCR, claiming that they have the best transplant services. Many offer the lowest rates, while others promise that they can cover maximum area with minimum grafts. However, it is imperative that if you are considering a transplant, you get it done from only the most reputed clinics. Good clinics will never offer a flat rate – hair transplant cost in Delhi, India should ideally be based on the number of grafts being extracted and implanted and this is something clinics will be able to tell you only once they have examined you. In addition, the best clinics will charge you based on how many useable grafts there were or how many grafts were finally implanted. The below given table will give you an idea of how much it costs to get a transplant in Delhi:

The hair transplant procedure starts with a thorough examination of the scalp, which will give the surgeon a clear idea of how large the donor and recipient areas are. By knowing how large the recipient area is, the surgeon will be able to get a good idea of how many grafts will be needed. These are the main steps of a transplant procedure:

• The donor and recipient areas will be marked clearly.
• The new hairline will be drawn, giving the surgeon the outline within which the work needs to be done.
• Depending on whether you are getting an FUT or an FUE, the method of hair extraction will change – in FUT, an entire strip of hair will be removed from the scalp, while in FUE, individual follicles will be removed.
• Yet again, depending on the method of extraction, the implantation will happen. In FUT, grafts will be removed and placed in a special solution so that they don’t dry out. However, in FUE, the extraction and implantation processes are simultaneous.
• The implantation will be done keeping in mind the direction of natural hair, the prior marked out hairline and trying to attain the best density possible.

Getting a hair transplant surgery is more than just getting a head full of hair; it is about regaining confidence in one’s self. There are so many benefits to getting a hair transplant, especially when it is done properly, that the cost might seem extremely low. Here are some of the main benefits:

• It will give you a huge confidence boost, because when you are confident about the way you look, it will start to reflect in everything you do.
• A hair transplant is a much better option than wigs, because it will not move, no matter what you do. This means that you will be able to play sports and even go swimming in the open seas.
• Once the hair grows in, it will be permanent, which is why donor hair for transplant is always taken from what is known as the permanent zone.
• After your hair grows in, you are free to do whatever with it that you want – cut it, colour it and style it.
• Unlike scalp micropigmentation and other similar methods, there is no need for ‘touch-up’ procedures, because if a transplant has been done well, it will last your lifetime.

When you meet your transplant surgeon before the procedure, you will be given a proper list of all the precautions that you need to take care of. These will include food related habits and medication, amongst others. Here are some of the main precautions that you will be asked to take:

• Certain medications can interfere with the hair surgery, which is why you might be asked to stay away from certain medicines. If you are on medication on a regular basis, you might be asked to stop or take an alternative.
• You will be asked to avoid smoking and alcohol for at least a few weeks before the procedure.
• If you colour your hair regularly, you will be asked to not do the same for at least a month before the procedure.
• Your doctor might also ask you not to cut your hair or put them through any chemical or heat-based treatments for a while.
• You will need to keep your hair and scalp extremely clean, ensuring that you wash it regularly.

Once you are at the clinic for your procedure, there are little precautions that you will need to take, but the staff at the clinic, including the surgeon will have plenty to keep in mind. These precautions will vary from hygiene to aspects of the procedure itself. The main precautions that need to be taken include:

• The procedure room should have been cleaned with antibacterial liquid and all the implements that will be used should have been sterilised.
• The entire staff involved in the procedure, including the surgeon, need to ensure that they have scrubbed their hands and are not ill with any infectious conditions.
• The hairline should be marked out in advance and the surgeon should ensure that the same is adhered to, at all times.
• It is imperative that all the precautions are taken when the grafts are being extracted, because not extracting them properly could lead to damaged or even unusable grafts.
• Only the required number of grafts should be removed and over extraction should be avoided.
• Once the grafts have been removed, they need to be either implanted immediately, or for FUT, they need to be stored in a solution, which will ensure that follicles remain hydrated and viable
• The implantation of the hair should be done in the same direction of the natural hair.

The hair transplant success rate lies largely in the hands of the surgeon who is doing the procedure, but a lot also depends on whether you take all the necessary care that you have been asked to, post procedure.

• You will be asked to not touch your head or the grafts for a minimum of 24 hours and you need to ensure that you not remove the bandage that will be applied post procedure.
• After the second day, you will be asked to wash your hair, but you need to be sure that you follow the exact instructions given, which would include not standing under a shower, not using hot water and not scrubbing your scalp.
• You might be asked to stay away from alcohol and smoking for a few more days and you need to make sure that you do the same.
• Strenuous exercise and physical activity might be restricted for a few weeks and you need to make sure that you do it, because sweat could damage the newly implanted follicles.
• You will be asked not to use any strong chemical styling products or heating tools, as your new hair will be extremely delicate.
• Your doctor might prescribe hair growing medicine and you should use them in the manner specified.

The recovery time after a hair transplant is not a lot because in most cases, there is nothing more than local anaesthesia. This means that you will be able to return home the very same day, but it would be wise to ask someone to come pick you up. Your head will be bandaged when you leave the clinic, but in most cases, you are able to remove it after 24 hours. You will be asked to avoid strenuous exercise and physical activity for a few weeks and you will also be asked not to schedule any appointment visits for hair colouring or any other such chemical or heat-based treatments.

For the first few days, you will be asked to sleep with your head elevated, but after that you should be able to return to your normal sleeping position. If you have a job that does not require you to physically exert yourself too much, you should be able to return to it in about three to four days. You should be able to resume light exercise in about 15-20 days and swimming can be resumed after about the same time.
