The “transplantation phase” in hair transplantation is the process in which hair follicles are placed in previously prepared channels. This stage is one of the most critical parts of hair transplantation and includes the following steps:
1. Preparation
– Anesthesia: Before the transplantation procedure, the patient is relieved by applying local anesthesia. This minimizes pain or discomfort during transplantation.
– Preparation of the Procedure Area: The scalp area is cleaned with antiseptic.
2. Placement of Hair Roots
– Selection of Roots: The hair follicles taken previously are prepared for use by selecting healthy ones.
– Placement in the Canals: The doctor carefully places the hair follicles into the opened channels. This process is done meticulously to ensure that the angle and direction of the roots look natural.
3. Natural Look
– Angle and Direction: An angle appropriate to the natural growth direction of the hair is used when placing the hair follicles. This makes the results look more aesthetic.
– Density Adjustment: The density in the transplanted area is carefully adjusted to provide a natural appearance.
4. Quick and Careful Application
– Time Management: It is important to place the roots as soon as possible because the roots need to receive oxygen. Experts try to minimize this time.
– Careful Placement: Each stem must be placed properly and carefully; this is critical for healthy growth.
5. Final Checks
– Post-Operation Examination: After the transplantation is completed, the condition of the placed roots is checked. Corrections can be made if necessary.
– Dressing: The transplantation area is covered with a dressing and the healing process begins.
6. Healing Process
– After the transplantation procedure, the patient is informed about the healing process. This includes things like maintenance and check-up appointments.
