Did you know that more than 50% of American men will have some form of hair loss by the time that they reach the age of 50, but like all other forms of cosmetic surgery procedures, hair transplants have improved and look more natural than they did even 10 years ago. If you want to look into this procedure or into any other type of cosmetic surgery in Pennsylvania, you should consult a surgeon in your area.

The Procedure

The micro technique for hair transplants utilizes your own hair from a harvested site to the area that you want treated. The positive side of this is that usually within 6 weeks of the procedure, the transplanted hair will fall out, but new hair will grow from the site.

Numerous sessions are required in order to transplant enough hair, but it's worth it because it looks more natural. In order for your hair transplant to be a success, you will need to have a healthy donor site on your head that will allow for healthy hair to be harvested from and since several sessions are required, it may take a few years for you to sustain good results.

Risks

You may experience numbness in both the donor and transplant region that may take months for the feeling to return.

Some discomfort that may require pain medication.

Bruising

Swelling

While this procedure provides a more natural look, it can cause problems if a large area needs to be covered, because there is no guarantee that the transplanted hair will survive.

Consult a cosmetic surgeon in the Pennsylvania area to see if a hair transplant procedure is right for you. Your surgeon can also show you before and after pictures and answer any questions that you may have.
