Hair Implant Care After Surgery
There are a few things you need to do after having a hair implant procedure that will help you to end up with as good a look as possible. With the current hair implant procedures you can end up with a very natural looking head of hair if you do a few things immediately after the surgery. This after care will help insure that your hair transplantation procedure will give you the best results and allow you years of living without the embarrassment of bald spots.
It you have the hair implants method that required removal of a small strip of scalp you will want to care for the suture to stop as much scarring as possible. Keep it clean to combat infection and use a scar reducing salve to make the scar partially vanish. The new techniques for implanting cause very little bleeding but if you do have a bandage for a few days be sure to keep it fresh and changed regularly.
Most doctors recommend that you start a gentle shampooing process within one to two days of the surgery. This softens any scabbing that can accumulate around the newly implanted hair follicles. Until the hair follicle units become established it is very easy to pull them out. A scab that is picked or plucked could loosen the hair unit allowing it to fall out and thus negate the effects of the transplantation procedure. Each hair implant must be treated with care until it has taken root.
A future concern is balding around the implantation area. Once implanted and established the hair follicles will continue to produce hair shaft for years. But the situation may arise whereby the original baldness continues to spread out from the bald spot. This can leave you with good hair growth surrounded by a fringe of balding. If this happens you may need to have more implants to fill in this new bald area.
After receiving your implants the new hair will continue to grow just like your natural hair. This means you can cut it and style it any way you desire. For a great looking result be sure to follow the above tips and any other after care your doctor advises. Hair implants can give you a completely new look so learn as much as you can.
