Since young, my forehead has been kinda high. It doesn't really bother me that much until recently.. I discovered that the hairline of my both temples has been receding. GOSH!! Too much of hairspray and hair buns.
After seeing a successful real life example of my relative in his 50s, I am tempted to go for a hair transplantation in Bangkok too!
I am planning to do so next year around June. Gotta save some lots of dough for it.
Information on Hair Transplantation:
All surgical forms of hair replacement involve transplanting a patient’s own hair from one portion of the scalp to another.
Less extensive baldness is commonly treated with hair transplants and has evolved from the visible plug transplants to what is called micro transplantation, in which tiny grafts of one to three hair follicles are moved from thick growth areas on the sides or back of the head to thinned areas in front or on top of the head. Micro transplants are performed with local anesthesia, with or without sedation, in an office setting. Because the procedure is tedious, multiple sessions over many months or years may be required. Some physicians specialize in hair transplantation and have developed an extremely streamlined, labor-intensive process in which up to several thousand grafts can be transplanted per “megasession.” Successful hair transplants tend to be stable and long lasting. Even though microtransplated hairs fall out shortly after surgery, most will regrow.
The best candidates for hair transplantation are patients with thick, healthy hair growth along the sides and back of the scalp, the prime donor areas. Patients with extreme baldness and very little donor hair are much less likely to have a natural looking result, no matter what procedure is performed, and most prospective patients in this category should be discouraged from undergoing surgical hair transplantation.
Complications of hair transplantation procedures are low. Major flap operations have higher risks, scarring may be visible, and additional procedures are often necessary. After micro transplantation some hairs will not survive, requiring additional sessions to achieve the desired effect. The characteristics of a transplanted hair may not be the same as the original hair, and original hairs in a balding area may continue to thin out over time.
The bottom line: Hair transplant techniques have improved dramatically, but in order to get a good result, most patients still need to submit to multiple tedious procedures over a long time period at significant expense.
