How Can You Get The Best Hair Transplant Results?

If you are battling with constant hair loss and baldness, you might want to consider a hair transplantation

Getting natural-looking hair is no more trouble, thanks to advances in the medical field and a one-step solution for the problem – hair transplantation. Back in the 70s and 80s, the process of hair transplantation was not so medically advanced, hence patients often got unnatural doll-like looks. Back during those years, sections of hair or hair plugs were planted in the thinning area. Gradually, as days went by, the hair plugs became noticeable.

But as hair restoration has become a front line profession, more and more people are opting for it. Thanks to medical advances, not even a barber or a hairstylist can tell that you’ve got something done to your hair.

Results of hair transplant depend upon the surgeon you choose

It is true that advances can give every patient their desired natural looks, but it cannot be denied that the final outcome of the process largely depends upon the surgeon that you choose. It is obvious that you want to choose a doctor who has a proper understanding of hair loss and performs hair restoration surgery on a regular basis. Make sure that the doctor you choose has a good aesthetic sense so that once the hair grows, it looks as natural. 

How can you get the best hair transplant results in India?

A very common name in the field of cosmetic surgery, hair transplantation is a fairly easy process to execute. No anesthesia, no massive surgical instruments, no scars, no excessive bleeding, no worries. The whole process is also very easy to recover from. There is no downtime as part of the recovery process. Nevertheless, if you are in India, there are a few basic things that you need to take care of during the phase of hair transplant recovery. The harsh pollution and degrading water quality can play a spoilsport for you.

Prevention from itching and swelling

It is absolutely normal to have swelling in your head after the transplant. This remains for 2-4 days and is no cause of worry. To prevent the scalp from itching and swelling, you should try to keep your head at an elevated position, at least for a week. While sleeping or taking rest, you can use a recliner instead of the bed. You can also apply ice on your forehead to get rid of the itching. But be careful not to put ice on the site of the surgery. Your scalp should not be exposed to heat or sunlight. Getting the surgery done during holidays could be a great step for this as you don’t have to step out of home.

Be careful while washing your hair

The results of your hair restoration depend on how careful and gentle you are with your hair. You can wash your hair after the surgery, only that you have to do it safely without causing any harm to the implanted grafts. You can wash your hair after 48-72 hours of the surgery. All that you need to do is – use a mild shampoo for the hair which you can mix with some water and not apply directly on the scalp. This is the most gentle way that you can adopt to wash your hair. Leaving your hair greasy can damage the grafts, also shampoo infused with harsh chemicals can call for harm. 

If you are in India, especially in Delhi NCR, you must be aware of the harsh water quality of the region. In that case, you need to be extra cautious. Make sure that you do not allow the water from the showerhead directly hit your head for at least 7-10 days. After that, you can treat your hair normally.

Say No to alcohol and smoking

It is advisable that you refrain from smoking or consuming alcohol for the initial month after the surgery. Quitting alcohol and smoking can have more benefits to your health than just one. But, for now, let’s tell you why you need to do this after the surgery. The negative impact of blood flow after smoking or drinking alcohol can have ill effects on your hair growth. It can also impact the blood supply to the brain, which you’d not want to call for.

No hair dye for a month

Dying your hair is not a problem after hair transplant. But for best results, you should wait for a month or so. The newly implanted grafts start taking roots a few days after the surgery. It could be harmful for their natural growth if they come in contact with any harsh chemicals during the process of recovery. On another note, it is highly unlikely that you’d dye your hair just after 4 weeks of the transplantation, but giving you a heads up is our responsibility.

Avoid Strenous Activities and Exercise

It is best if you avoid any kind of physical activity after hair transplantation as much as possible. Wait for at least 2 weeks before you resume certain activities that includes lot of physical exertion. In case you have to bend, try to do this from the knees and not the waist. For a couple of weeks, avoid climbing the monkey bars and swimming. Also, be careful that you don’t sweat a lot so that there are minimal swelling and itching on the scalp. 

When can a patient see the best results after a hair transplant?

Most patients get to see the results of hair transplantation after 6-7 months. For some, it might take 8-10 months, while for others, the time period could be 10-12 months. It all depends on the quality of your hair and aftercare.

In between 3-8 weeks after the surgery, the transplanted hair will fall off and new hair will begin to sprout. This is a natural and normal part of the recovery. After that, you may witness new thin, baby-like hair sprouting, which is again normal. After this phase, with time, your hair will start getting its natural texture and quality.
