Hair Transplants with Dr. Sivakumar: Your Path to a Fuller Head of Hair

In the world of cosmetic surgery, hair transplants have emerged as a popular solution for individuals grappling with hair loss. At Covai Cosmetic Surgery in Coimbatore, Dr. S. Sivakumar specializes in this transformative procedure, providing patients with options tailored to their unique needs.

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplants involve the relocation of hair follicles from a donor site, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to areas experiencing thinning or balding. This surgical procedure is designed to restore hair in a natural-looking manner, allowing individuals to regain their confidence and improve their appearance.

Overview

Hair loss can significantly impact self-esteem and quality of life. Understanding the nature of hair transplants helps patients make informed decisions about their hair restoration journey.

Causes

The causes of hair loss can vary widely, including:

  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss is one of the most common causes.
  • Hormonal Changes: Conditions such as pregnancy or thyroid issues can lead to hair thinning.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain diseases and medications can also contribute to hair loss.
  • Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Environmental stressors, poor diet, and smoking can exacerbate hair loss.

Solutions

For those seeking a reliable solution to hair loss, hair transplants offer several advantages, such as:

  • Natural Appearance: Transplanted hair grows naturally, blending seamlessly with existing hair.
  • Long-lasting Results: Once the hair follicles settle, the results can last for many years.
  • Minimal Maintenance: After the initial recovery, transplanted hair requires no special care.

Types of Hair Transplants

There are two primary techniques for hair transplants:

  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area and dissecting it into individual follicular units.
  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Involves extracting individual hair follicles directly from the donor site.

Types of Stages

The hair transplant journey typically involves several stages:

  • Consultation: Discuss goals and expectations with Dr. Sivakumar.
  • Preparation: Pre-surgery evaluations and planning.
  • Surgery: The actual hair transplant procedure.
  • Post-Operative Care: Instructions for recovery and care of transplanted hair.

Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time

The hair transplant procedure usually takes a few hours, depending on the technique and the number of grafts required. Recovery time varies but generally involves:

  • Initial Healing: 7-10 days for the scalp to heal.
  • Visible Growth: Hair starts to grow back in 3-6 months.
  • Final Results: Full results can be seen after 12 months.
