For those with permanent hair loss, they may need to consider other form of methods to restore their image to a normal one. One hair loss solution would be wearing a wig. However, one may need to use a wig for the rest of the life. Another alternative hair loss solution is through surgery. Surgery is however suitable only for some types of hair loss. These cases are usually those with male pattern baldness or scarring.
Surgery is done by plastic surgeons and can be an expensive and complicated procedure. You will need to check with the doctor to see if surgery is possible for your case. Hair loss solution through surgery is possible because hair follicles can continue to grow regardless of where they are transplanted to. Let us now look at the few of the surgery treatments available:
Punch grafting This procedure requires taking cylindrical grafts of hair bearing skin and transplants them onto bald areas where similar holes are punched for the surgeon to fill in. This procedure needs to be repeated a few times and at each time, 80 to 100 of such grafts need to be done, and the patient will be under local anesthesia for the procedure. Hair will fall off initially after the transplant, but new hair will grow back after 3 to 4 months. This kind of surgery is best for male pattern baldness.
Strip grafting. This similar to punch grafting, except that a strip of hair bearing skin will be removed and transplanted instead of a small graft. The opened wounds will then be sealed up.
