Female Hair Transplant

Female hair transplant is an option in the treatment of a variety of hair loss conditions. Women more and more learn that they can benefit from the newer techniques in surgical hair restoration.

Female hair transplant is not merely the same procedure as performed in men. A number of precautions must be taken to minimize hair loss in the recipient region, which seems to occur much more frequently in women.

Precautions include using local anesthetics that do not contain epinephrine, minimizing the number of recipient site incisions and using larger grafts so as to achieve a maximal increase in hairs per graft placed.

Patients with moderate to advanced hair loss patterns are advised on the probable need for second and perhaps additional procedures. Even in cases where reasonable density was achieved after one procedure, the progressive nature of pattern hair loss typically makes necessary the performance of an additional procedure in the future.

During female hair transplant, the treatment of hairline distortion from prior cosmetic surgery uses smaller follicular unit grafts than the larger grafts for treating female pattern hair loss.

The most difficult area to restore is the lost sideburn. However, when properly performed, patient satisfaction with what was otherwise a successful facelift procedure can be restored.
