This article will help you analyze the reasons for the failure of hair transplantation in detail, and tell you how to avoid the failure of the operation and have a thick and natural hair after surgery!

What happens when hair transplant fails?

Hair volume is not as expected

Hair transplantation requires a certain cost. If the survival rate of hair follicles after hair transplantation is not high, resulting in no obvious difference in hair volume and still very sparse, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to hair friends!

Poor design of hairline and unnatural direction of hair flow

In addition to denseness, the naturalness of the effect is also important. The naturalness can be divided into two aspects. One is that the growth direction and angle of the planted hair do not conform to the natural hair flow of the human body; If you feel that it is not natural hair, such a hair transplant surgery is not successful.

Post-operative scars are obvious

In addition to the dense and natural planting area, the beauty of the hair removal area at the back of the occiput is also very important! Whether it is FUT or FUE hair transplantation, if the postoperative wound recovery is not good, and obvious scars appear on the back of the occiput, it will have a great impact on the hair friend's future styling.

How long can a hair transplant last? Why does hair transplant surgery fail?

Today, hair transplant surgery is a safe and effective treatment for hair loss, and the transplanted hair is a healthy hair follicle on the back of the occiput, so the grown hair is "permanent", which can effectively improve the problems of baldness and sparse hair. . However, there are still several factors that can cause hair transplant to fail:

Incorrect preoperative evaluation of the number of hair roots and surgical methods

At present, there are still many hair transplant clinics, which are not personally seen by the surgeon who performs the surgery. There is no detailed understanding of the family heredity, the severity of hair loss, whether it should be combined with drugs or other hair growth treatments, and the suitable surgical methods for hair friends. In the estimation of the number of implants, there is no precise measurement of hair density, scalp elasticity, planting area, planting density and other data, only the visual assessment of the consultants, resulting in inaccurate estimation, insufficient hair removal or selection of inappropriate surgical methods, unable to Achieving sufficient hair density or range to greatly reduce the effect of hair transplantation.

Inexperienced hair transplant team or physician

Hair transplant surgery is divided into FUT surgery and FUE surgery, each of which affects the survival rate of hair follicles. The following are the key points of hair transplant surgery for you:

When FUE hair follicles are drilled, experienced physicians can reduce the hair follicle truncation rate to less than 1%; if the drilling skills are not good, many hair follicles will be cut off or injured during the drilling process, and the number of hair follicles that can be used will be insufficient.

Whether the nurses of FUT surgery use a microscope to separate hair follicles, whether they are skilled in separation skills, retain enough hair follicle tissue, and store them in a low temperature and humid environment throughout the process will greatly affect the survival rate of hair follicles.

It is also important whether the surgery is performed by an experienced physician throughout the implant process. If the implantation is too deep or too shallow, the survival rate of the hair follicles is not good. If the hair flow, direction and angle of the implantation are not properly adjusted, the hair flow will be messy and unnatural. Even if the density is sufficient, it cannot be regarded as a successful operation.

If the hair follicle is not transplanted back into the body after 6 to 7 hours, the survival rate will decrease. Therefore, every minute counts for hair transplant surgery. How to operate fast enough and take into account the quality depends on the accumulation of countless experiences of the physician team.

The care work after the hair transplant operation is also the key to the effect of the operation, especially the cleaning and maintenance in the "first two weeks" after the operation is the most critical!
