Surgical safety checklist before considering the Hair Transplant in Jodhpur, Rajasthan:

The consultation steps include:

(1) A review of the history of patient’s Hair Transplantation-Male Pattern Hair loss or Hair thinning is progressive in nature. The most regular cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called Male Androgenic Alopecia (MAA) or female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually where hair loss occurs in several parts of the scalp, ultimately leading to a bald region surrounded by hair in a horseshoe-like pattern and thinning hair in women. The patient is made aware of the successful techniques which would be effective for him after analyzing the patient’s hair conditions, donor area, the density of hair, hair follicles status etc.

(2) Removal of Myths or Misconceptions- At first, the common misconception regarding decreased scalp blood supply is dispelled. The concept of ‘Pluggy appearence’ is discussed with the patients if the patient’s raise any worry about it. It is discussed that the pluggy appearance is associated with traditional techniques, but nowadays with the dramatic changes in techniques exceptionally natural-looking results are achieved even after a single session in an alopecic area. Also, there are many misconceptions regarding Hair Transplantation that it is highly painful and stressful exercise and also about pain in the postoperative period. Factually, the hair transplantation is carried out under local anaesthesia and only that part of the skin is anesthetized where the transplant is to be carried out. If we take into consideration the two basic types of Hair Transplantation surgery that are currently in use, in extraction and transplantation of large numbers of hair follicles, i.e. FUT and FUE, they are primarily different in the way the hair follicles are extracted from the donor area. Overall both the procedures have less recovery period and pain medication implemented by the doctor relieves the patient during and after the transplant surgery.

(3) Clearing the doubts of Side effects of Hair Transplantation- During the consultation, the doubts regarding side effect of medications need to be cleared. To the very fact, symptoms like pain and swelling cannot be completed abolished during Hair Transplantation just like other surgeries. Yes, It can be reduced or controlled by proper medications. The effect of hair transplant surgery varies according to the procedure that is used-FUT or FUE.

Facial edema is the most common type of side effect experienced by 42% of men after Hair Transplantation surgery. Face edema includes the edema of the forehead and around eyes after 2-6 days of post operation. Surgeons often suggest for a firm headband to prevent the spread of the facial edema to facial tissue. If the edema is severe spending for a long time in reclining position may also work. Also, medications in form of oral steroids may be prescribed for a short term.

Haemorrhage is the other side effect usually seen in patients undergoing FUT Hair Transplantation. Although this is not a very common side effect the severity of haemorrhage or excessive bleeding must be taken into consideration. Till today, the data of Haemorrhage reported in FUT patients has been merely 2%.

Infection and Itching although Serious Infections of the scalp are rarely less than 1%, the chances are there because of a high number of blood vessels present in the scalp tissue and is most common around the site of sutures.
