Cost of hair restoration

 Hair Restoration:

Hair Restoration or hair transplant is a surgical procedure that removes the hair follicles from one part of the body (head )to the bald part of the body. The part from which hair is removed from your body is called the donor site and the part at which it is fixed in your body is called the recipient site. 

In this article, we will look at the success rates of different types of hair restoration, their cost, as well as how long they last and their possible side effects.

Hair loss affects more than 1.2 billion people worldwide. As the technology and artistry of hair restoration surgery have improved including natural results, so too has the popularity of this procedure. 


Types of Hair Restoration:

Hair loss is a common problem affecting both men and women. There are usually two main types of hair restoration surgery :
  • FUSS.
  • FUE.


Financial Costs of Hair Restoration Surgery:

 The financial cost of hair restoration surgery depends on how much you pay for hair transplant surgery as with any medical procedure  depends on numerous factors, including: 
  1. The Local market (or it also depends where you live in the country and where you have your surgery performed).
  1. It depends on whether you decided to do FUT or FUE surgery.
  1. Also whether you have to travel for your surgery, the surgeon you choose and the complexity of your case( how much issue do you have).

Online estimates put the cost at anywhere from 3,000 to 15,000$ and while those numbers vary pretty widely, one thing is certain: it is not cheap.  It cost a lot. But don't worry your life will change with hair restoration. 
Hair restoration surgery is generally considered cosmetic, it’s unlikely your insurance company will help pay for it. If your hair loss is due to an illness or injury, however, coverage may be possible. If you’re looking at hair restoration surgery, the best thing to do is contact your insurance company to see about your options for coverage.


1.Follicular unit strip surgery:

Follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS). In this type of surgery, the surgeon will remove a strip of skin from the donor area of your body and close the incision with stitches. 

2.Follicular unit extraction:
Follicular unit extraction (FUE). In this type of surgery, the surgeon will use a tiny punch tool to remove follicles from the donor area of your body and fix it to the recipient part of your body.

Does Hair Restoration work?


In most cases, people usually have thicker-looking hair after a successful hair restoration surgery. They may continue to experience thinning of hair and hair loss after the surgery,  which can give the hair an unnatural or patchy appearance.

For the best results, you should follow the instruction your surgeon’s told you. Doing this will increase the chances of a successful hair transplant.  You may also need to avoid strenuous activity and exercise for several weeks. You might also need to wait a few days before washing your hair.



Side Effects of Hair Restoration:

 Usually, there are fewer side effects of hair restoration surgery,  when it is done by a highly qualified and experienced surgeon. But sometimes even with successful surgery, some side effects appear. Some of them given below:

  • Bleeding or Infection. 
  • Scars.
  • Swelling and pain.


Bleeding or Infection:

 Sometimes Hair Restoration Surgery involves making cuts in the skin. A surgeon makes an incision to remove the donor follicles, and they make tiny incisions on the scalp of your skin in which they need to place the follicles. With an incision, there is a risk of infection or excessive bleeding.

Scars

There is also a risk of scarring on both the donor area and the area of the restoration. A person should speak with their surgeon about these risks before they decide to have the procedure.

Sometimes a person may have raised bumps around the transplanted hair. As the hair grows back, it may hide these bumps.

Swelling and Pain:

Some people may experience pain after the procedure on their skin. Their surgeon may provide them with pain relievers to help with this. They may also have some swelling in the head as the skin heals.

Conclusion:

Hair Restoration surgery may be a good option for a type of people who have the problem of hair thinning and hair loss. Sometimes it is not a permanent solution to thinning hair, but for many people, it can help restore hair fullness and self-confidence.

I'd like to hear from you what do you think about it.
