Hair implantation operations (also known as hair transplant) provide the patient with a treatment for hair loss. Hair transplant operations, which are carried out by professionals, provide hair growth to a great extent. The success rates are increasing day by day due to the increasing demand and application. Hair transplant operation has become popular due to today’s aesthetic perception and its low cost. Millions of people, men or women, undergo hair transplant operations every year to deal with hair loss.  Although hair loss is a natural process, it may cause insecurity and lack of self-esteem in the person, which can lead to significant psychological problems. However, with hair transplant surgery, you can get rid of the hair loss problem. Deciding whether to have a hair transplant without seeing a doctor is not recommended. You should consult an expert and make your decision accordingly.

How to Get Rid of Hair Loss?

There are many products on the market that are claimed to help you grow your hair back, but most of them are ineffective. They do not provide a solution to your hair loss problem. Even if they do, these products offer a temporary solution to your problem, not a permanent one. These products accelerate the growth of your already existing hair. But they do not cause hair growth on bald parts of your head. So, before beginning to use these products please do profound research. If you want to get rid of your hair loss problem, a hair transplant operation is usually the answer. Hair transplant operations provide new hair growth in the bald areas to a great extent. Hair implants provide you with denser hair therefore a better and healthier looking hair.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss is one of the most common problems people face today. Although known as a problem that usually men face, hair loss affects women to some extent as well. Hair loss, in both men and women can occur due to many reasons. The most common of these are stress, genetics, skin problems, bad eating habits, etc. Some of the things that cause hair loss depend on the person himself, while others depend on the environmental factors. Stress, genetics, and skin diseases are not dependent on the person and cannot be changed. However, things like bad eating habits, bad sleeping habits can be changed by the person accordingly.

Although hair loss usually begins when the person reaches his/her 30s, it may start even earlier or later. Losing one’s hair at an early age might severely damage your self-esteem. Because it is most likely to make you look older than you are and make you look worse.

Should I Really Have Hair Transplantation?

If you have hair loss problems or if you are tired of being partly bald you should consider hair implantation. Having beautiful and healthy hair is something everyone wants. However, not many of us have the chance to have it nowadays. The stress and unhealthy lifestyle brought about by modern life and busy work life affect our hair badly.

A hair loss that is slow at the beginning can accelerate and turn into baldness due to many different reasons. Even though we can eliminate some of these reasons, many of them are not dependent on us. In this case, it would be good to consult a specialist for hair transplantation regardless of your age. In fact, the sooner you go, the easier you can eliminate the problem of hair loss. But, as we mentioned above, a hair transplantation operation might not be suitable for you. Consult a doctor first, then decide what is best for you.

Is There a Failure Risk?

Like any surgical procedure, there is a possibility of failure of the hair transplant operation. Although the failure rate in hair transplant operations is low, there is a risk. There may be more than one reason for a failed operation. Some of these reasons may be the doctor’s inexperience, wrong or insufficient post-operative treatment, etc. There are even some hair transplant centers that do not give you the necessary information. They want to give you this treatment even if you do not need it to gain money. Therefore, it is recommended that you do thorough research before having a hair transplant operation.

What to do for a Faster Recovery?

For a faster healing process, you should pay attention to:

• Keeping the hair transplanted area moist. Not too wet or too dry.
• Refrain from exercise. Exercising and sweating can damage your newly transplanted hair, so you should avoid it for at least 24 hours.
• Follow post-operation instructions. You should follow the instructions given by your doctor for your post-operative care. Neglecting these instructions may slow your healing process 
• Make sure that your newly transplanted area is clean and free from infection.
• Applying ice treatment within the 24 hours of the operation may make you feel better.
• Take pain relievers if necessary, do not be afraid.

How to Guarantee a Successful Hair Transplant Operation?

It is everyone’s desire to have a good, successful, and painless hair transplant operation. However, this is not always possible. Nevertheless, we can guarantee a successful hair transplant operation by paying attention to a few points. The most important point is to know what to do before the hair implant operation. After a good research, you should visit and consult a reliable and qualified doctor. Find out if you are suitable for this surgery and whether it is dangerous for you. As it is post-surgery, it is very important to follow your doctor’s instructions before surgery. The emergence of a wrong and undesired situation may lead to failure in the surgery, which we never want. Because what you can do as a patient is limited, choosing your doctor well and trusting her/him is the key to a successful hair transplant operation.

Taking shower after Hair Transplant Surgery

Generally, the patient is asked not to take a shower within 48 hours after the hair transplant operation. After a hair transplant operation a body shower is recommended instead, for a faster recovery and a higher probability of success rate.

However, if you really need to take a shower within the first 48 hours, you can. But make sure that you do it very gently.
