Amit Mishra’s hair transplant story
Amit Mishra was completely bald before he went through the hair transplant process. Reports surfacing on the internet state that the player had undergone hair transplantation twice, in 2010 and 2014.
The player looked amazing in his new look, so much so that it made him play the entire season of IPL 2015 without a cap on his head, which his fans say was a rare sight earlier.
What hair transplant procedure did Amit Mishra go through?
Several articles and media reports say that Amit Mishra had undergone the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method of hair transplantation. Let us understand the process in detail now.
In this procedure, the surgeon shaves the back of the scalp of the patient’s head. He then removes the hair follicles one by one. You can see the tiny marks from where each follicle has been removed. The surgeon then makes small holes on your scalp where the grafting needs to be done, and grafts the follicles into the holes. The surgical site is then closed with bandages or gauze and left to heal.
What to expect after the FUE hair transplant process?
Following hair transplantation, the recovery process of the person for the next few months depends upon various factors such as the patient’s anatomical makeup, the technique performed and several others. Having said that, it is most important that the patient remains gentle with his hair and the scalp of his head.
After the hair transplantation surgery, the places where the hair follicles are grafted and the areas where they are planted become tender and swollen. This is normal and is nothing to worry about. This should also dissipate in a few days. The amount of discomfort is typically minimal.
If your hair transplant surgery involves skin grafting, even then the scabbing on the scalp or the dermal surface should shed off and vanish in a week after the procedure. There is no long downtime after the surgery and most patients can resume normal work life in just about two days after the transplantation.
