Factors Affecting Growth of Transplanted Hair

images Hair Transplant extracts your own hair follicles, or grafts, and transplants them on balding area. Everyone has a limited supply of donor hair.Therefore, it is very important to get the most out of your hair transplant without damaging any of your transplanted hair.
Studies have shown that the survival rate of hair follicles is between 90 to 100 percent.However, survival rates largely depend on the skill of your surgeon and your post-operative care.
The operation day is certainly the most important day for the success of your transplant. Many factors play their role in the survival of transplanted hair grafts. Some important factors are as follows.
Health of patient and donor scalp
The first issue is the health of patient and donor scalp. If a patient is in good general health, and his donor scalp is healthy, we can expect a good survival rate for his hair transplant.
Operative day factors
As discussed earlier, there are many operative day factors, which affect the survival rate of transplanted hair follicles. The most important factor is physical damage to the grafts. There is a possibility of damaging hair follicles during extraction as well as plantation.The risk of transaction is even greater in the case of FUE (follicular unit extraction). Another issue is graft-dehydration. Grafts need to be handled carefully to avoid drying hair follicles, which may result in death of hair follicle.
Planted hair takes about 3 days to attach themselves to blood supply to the recipient area. During these days, hair follicles may die due to lack of oxygen and energy, however, skillfully transplanted get this supply at time and do not die.
Post-operative factors
Your surgeon will give you instructions to take care of transplanted hair. Make sure to follow these instructions fully. Keep your hair clean and take care of your hygiene. Save your hair from stress or pressure. If your surgeon has given you some medicines, take them according to your surgeon’s instructions.
I hope you will get the most out of your hair transplant surgery, because it is not a haircut that you can have as many times as you wish.
