Although
less common today, some earlier grafting and scalp reduction techniques
led to painful, ineffective and sometimes grotesque results.
Hair transplant methods to be avoided
Hair transplantation as a means of treating hair loss has been around
for a long time. Unfortunately, some clinics today still use methods
that are outdated and can cause pain, scarring and less than presentable
results. This article highlights some of the hair transplant methods
that you should avoid like the plague.
Round / square grafts - this is the original method
that leaves patients with a scalp that resembles that of a plastic
doll. It involves taking a number of smallish grafts with a hole-punch
device and transplanting to the affected area. The result is a pluggy
look that does not look natural and only becomes more ridiculous
as time wears on.
Line grafts - this involves moving a short strip of
donor hair from the side or back of the head, then transplanting
the entire strip into a trench that is surgically cut into the receiving
area of the scalp. The end result is a line of hair that looks unnatural.
Flap technique - this procedure involves moving a flap
of skin with its tissue, hair strands and follicles from the side
or back of the head to the front hairline by cutting it on three
sides and stitching it to the bald area.This can cause serious problems
including excessive scarring, infection, disfigurement in the forehead
area and hair growing in the wrong direction.
Scalp reduction - in this procedure the bald area at
the crown is cut away and the edges surrounding the wound are pulled
together and sewn at the middle. This technique causes many problems
including potentially hideous scarring, accelerated hair loss and
infection.
