Facial Hair Restoration Update

Recently we have been seeing more male patients with concerns of lack of hair on their face where they normally try to have a full beards or mustache, the hair just will not grow in certain areas. This causes empty areas when they grow some facial hair and it looks patchy. Their option for permanent hair growth is that of a hair restoration. It pretty much follows the same principles of a hair transplantation on the scalp, where hair from the back occipital area is used for harvesting hair grafts and then moved to the area of concern (hairline, temples, top or crown).

Several things to keep in mind when doing facial hair restoration is that the grafts being trimmed might have to be adjusted to the requirements depending on the area being worked on and the caliber of the hairs around the area in order to blend it in. The direction of the hair graft will also have to match the existent hair too. This of course, is a job determined by the one who is performing the incisions or recipient sites. The hair grafts will fall right into place without having to manipulate it much in order to avoid possible damage to the hair follicle within the grafts.

Post-op care is also similar to a scalp hair transplant, which means keeping the area clean and avoiding touching the area avoiding picking the scabs. Gentle care should be given until all scabs have healed and fallen off on their own, which can take 5 to 7 days.

Hair Transplants, also known as Hair Restoration are very common these days. Many men or women who under go through this procedure don't talk much about it. The results come in gradually and it almost seems as no one realizes exactly what they had done, but they know they look differently, in a good way. This procedure is mainly optional, especially if patients are experiencing some type of hair loss pattern, hair line recesion, crown or top thinnings. The results will forever change these patients lifes and will permanently be confident about themselves. But what happens when patients have a bald area due to an accident, leaving a scar behind with no more hair follicles to grow? These patients have limited options, and perhaps, just one. Scar Repair with Hair Restoration is a very effective procedure, depending where and how large the area of concern is. But it can be very successful with the right plan. The pictures above shows a perfect case for scar repair, right above the right temple near the hairline. These types of procedures are also performed in any area where hair used to be, mainly facial. These procedures are smaller cases thus taking less time in the O.R. Recovery time can be expected to be the same as a regular hair transplantation procedure, which is usually about 5 days post-op.

Facial Hair Transplant Reconstruction

In many cases, hair transplant surgery is not about restoring your hair line or your crown, it is about restoring your mustache from a accident.  Dr. Baxa has performed thousands of hair restorations and facial hair reconstruction has been one of his best works.  Whether you are restoring or creating your side burn or restoring hair from your eye brow, it can be done.  This type of procedures are very similar to a hair transplant, only it takes less time and it can be done in matter of hours, depending on how big the case could be.  The grafts are to be smaller due to the much reduced recipient site since they will be packed in closer to each other.  The grafts will hold 1 to 2 hair follicles to give it a much natural look.  The incisions will also be made in the same direction the native hairs are positioned to make sure the donor hair grows the same direction and blends in naturally.

Hair Transplant Procedure

Having to deal with hair loss day to day can be very frustrating.  In the real world there are two different types of actions towards this condition; 1. Decides to do nothing about and be content with their hair loss and their new shiny bald scalp. 2.  Decides to do something about it, period.  But what is the best method for a permanent solution for hair loss?  Hair transplants have come a long way since it was first practiced in Japan to the point where the "baby doll hair plugs" are a thing of the past.  FTU (follicular transplant unit) is the new method that gives you that more natural look, completely restoring your youth and confidence.  But how is this done?
