Unshaved Hair Transplantation
he success achieved in natural-looking hair transplantation, especially in the last 5 years, has led to the acceleration of studies that will increase the comfort of the patient. Unshaven hair transplantation is one of these studies. This situation, which is not a problem for men who are accustomed to using their hair in a short cut, makes hair transplantation operations more comfortable. The main reason for shaving hair in normal operations is that the doctor and the hair transplant team can see the hair follicles more easily and the mobility in the transplant area is more comfortable.
After shaving the hair before the hair transplant operation, the areas to be transplanted can be shortened to zero when necessary during the operation. The grafts are planted by opening channels in the sections where the hair cut with a razor blade is located.
Unshaven hair transplantation has some disadvantages as well as advantages. The biggest disadvantage of having unshaven hair transplantation is the time. Unshaven hair transplant operations take much longer. In unshaven hair transplantation, the operation time can increase by 50%. (An operation that will take 5 hours may take 8-10 hours.) It is more difficult to maintain a hygienic environment. The risk of complications after the operation is slightly higher. The patient may require greater care.
Unfortunately, unshaven hair transplantation is not suitable for everyone. In order to have unshaven hair transplantation, there must be regional or local hair loss. It is not possible to perform unshaven hair transplantation on hair that has completely lost or completely thinned hair. In order for unshaven hair transplantation to be successful, a preliminary evaluation and a decision by hair transplant specialists are usually required. As a result, the purpose of hair transplantation is to achieve hair that is not intended, and the suitability of unshaven hair transplantation depends primarily on the request of the people who will have hair transplantation and then the approval of the hair transplantation specialists.
