Does Hair Transplant Result in Failure? What should you pay attention to?

Does hair transplantation always work one hundred per cent? Hair transplantation, which is seen as the most definitive solution to hair loss and baldness, may not work in some rare cases. In this article, we will examine in which cases hair transplantation does not work.

The increase in hair loss has increased the demand for hair transplantation. We can say that this method, which most people see as a definitive solution, is indeed the hope of people suffering from hair loss due to the results obtained. However, of course, it is not always possible to get the best results. In some cases, hair transplantation may not work. In which cases this method does not work, let’s examine.

In Which Cases Does Hair Transplantation Not Work?

Here are the reasons why hair transplantation does not give good results:

• Insufficient Experience of the Surgeon: This procedure performed by surgeons who do not have experience in the field and who do not master this method often causes unsuccessful results. Choosing the right surgeon increases the likelihood of successful results, which is valid for every procedure.
• Neglect After Surgery: Postoperative period is at least as important as the surgery. Even if your surgeon performs the surgery with the right method, if there is not enough care afterwards and the patient disrupts the healing process, the hair transplant will fail. A good surgeon and clinic will inform you in detail about the healing and care process. Thus, a routine planned in a way that will not harm hair transplantation will increase the success rate.
• Hair Graft Rejection: Although it is not very common, in some cases the scalp may not accept the transplanted grafts. For this reason, hair grafts do not grow. Inflammation of the upper part of the hair follicles is also usually responsible for rejection.

What is the Failure Rate of Hair Transplant?

According to ISHRS research, the probability of failure of hair transplantation is approximately 43%. However, while taking this rate as a basis, please keep in mind that people’s expectations also mean not getting the desired result. This rate is lower when real hair transplant failure is meant rather than personal expectations.

If you set out with real expectations, the failure rate is usually below 3% thanks to experienced and skilled surgeons and good clinical service. Otherwise, the failure rate can be up to 35%.

What are the Criteria for Unsuccessful Hair Transplant?

What is important here is the condition of the donor area. If the hair in the donor area is also low or weak, hair transplantation may result in failure. However, the success of this method has been observed in some patients with complete baldness.

What is Hair Transplant Success Rate?

The success of hair transplantation is determined according to the amount of hair growth. It is possible to talk about a success rate of 85% and above. Especially with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the success rate increases up to 98%. Going on this journey with skilled and reputable surgeons increases the chance of one hundred per cent success.
What should be considered for successful hair transplantation?
It is very important to pay attention to some factors in order to meet your expectations in this regard. It is useful to pay attention to the following points:

1. Choose the Right Clinic: Clinics that provide high quality service and have sterile environments are clinics with a high success rate. Prioritise clinics or hospitals with professional staff and skilled surgeons.
2. Give Importance to Realistic Expectations: Your expectations should be realistic as well as being a suitable candidate. Your own hair structure will also affect the hair transplantation process to a small extent. Therefore, you should get confirmation from an experienced surgeon about your suitability and choose the most suitable technique for you.
3. Follow the Surgeon’s Instructions After the Surgery: Your clinic or surgeon will give you some instructions after the procedure. Following these instructions to the letter is an important factor that directly affects the success rate.

Conclusion

Hair transplantation is a procedure with a high success rate. It positively changes the lives of everyone suffering from hair loss or baldness. Although your own hair quality and your care in the care process increase the success rate, it is always the best option to start with a good surgeon. Your surgeon’s understanding of your expectations and determining the appropriate plan for you will lead you to a process that you will be satisfied with.
