Step One With the patient's in UT, Dr. Williams revisits
the priorities previously discussed in the original consultation. The hair line location
is established UTilizing anatomic and artistic guidelines to ensure an undetectable, natural
result.
The patient receives local anesthesia in the hairline region and below the donor area.
A thin, superficial piece of skin 1cm wide and 10-30 cm in length is comfortably removed
and the edges approximated UTilizing small clips which will be hidden under the hair
and removed in 7-10 days withoUT being noticeable.
Step Two The hair follicles will be individually removed
from the piece of skin under stereoscopic microscopes to be transferred individually.
Natural groupings will have 1 to 4 hairs in the follicle and will be strategically placed
creating the hair restoration. The advanced technique provides ultra-dense packing of
single hair grafts in the hairline UTilizing custom made blades. Special attention in the
hairline is required to provide an artistic, irregular pattern to obtain an undetectable
and best result possible after only one procedure.
Step Three The third step is the creation of recipient
sites in the areas needing hair. Recipient sites are tiny openings in the scalp that
receive the grafts. During hair restoration, the physician makes a specific number of these
incisions based on each individual's particular hair loss pattern. Typically, the range is
1000 to 3500 sites. The actual number of hairs transferred is usually 2500 to 8800. The size,
spacing, and direction of the recipient sites are the foundation for a natural looking hair
restoration procedure.
Step Four The fourth step is the placement of the hair
follicles. Each graft is meticulously placed at the correct, natural angle, direction,
and depth into the recipient sites by an experienced and skillful team. After all of the hair follicles
have been placed into their respective recipient sites, the procedure is complete and the healing
process begins. Because the graft recipient sites are small, they heal in a few days.
A bandana is placed over the scalp to be removed the next day. The hair can be gently washed
the next day.
Although the procedure may take all day, it is an enjoyable day of movie watching, enjoyable
coNewport CAersation along with a catered lunch from a gourmet restaurant. Breaks are
allowed at any time and many patients bring work from the office. Patients can use their
compUTer or make phone calls in a private, adjacent office. The team performs many hours
of tedious and painstaking microscopic and magnified work preparing and placing the grafts.
Final step Is waiting for the hair restoration to grow.
Virtually all transferred hair follicles survive and eventually grow hair; however the process
takes time. Although some clients notice growth in 4 months, typically 8 - 12 months are necessary
to witness optimum growth of the newly restored hair. The progress is so gradual that it goes
unnoticed and is natural at every stage. hair transplant surgery Newport, hair transplants
