Hair Transplant for Hair Line Lowering in Women
Good Evening Dr. Mohebi,
A week ago I visited to your office. Remember? I just received your letter. I still have a few questions from you to ask.
Q: When I read your website, I found out that some women scalp is not suited to have this surgery? So is it possible that I could be one of them?
A: You are not one of them. Women who are not candidates for hair transplant surgery are the ones with female pattern baldness with significant miniaturization or thinning of hair shafts on a large area of their head. We do perform hair transplantation to lower the original hairline for men and women at US Hair Restoration. In your case, you are doing hair transplant only to bring your high forehead lower and create a more feminine pattern for your face. Your microscopic evaluation of your hair did not show any evidence of female pattern hair loss.
Q: Once I get the surgery. The hairs that transferred will stay permanently? Is there any possibility that hair will fall off or transplant hair effect my regular hair to fall off?
A: You do not lose transplanted hair as long as the rest of your scalp hair stays in place. Occasionally patients may experience some degree of shock loss after a hair transplant procedure or they may lose their native hair after a hair transplant surgery. Those are generally people with a high level of miniaturization as is always seen in typical male or female pattern baldness. Your situation is different and you do not have many miniaturized hairs (fine hairs) that would fall out after a hair transplant.
Q: do I have to stay at home after the surgery? How long? I don’t want to go out in public with red forehead. But I have to go to school. How can I hide my transplanted spot?
A: Hair transplant may cause redness and swelling at the recipient area. This usually gets resolved after day 3 or 4 from the hair restoration surgery. We will give you medications to minimize those complications caused by hair restoration surgery. Many people are able to go back to work or school the day after surgery. You can simply change your hair style for the first few days and bring your front hair forward to cover the transplanted area.
Q: Is there any bad effect of this kind of surgery on any area of my body or health?
A: As long as you don’t have any adverse effects to the medications that are used during the procedure, there is no known major systemic side effect from hair restoration surgery or hair transplant on any other part of the body. The procedure is considered a minimally invasive outpatient surgery.
