Hair transplantation operations from the first day until the present showed that the fue method thanks to the hair transplantation with the most guaranteed today, with the least level of pain and surgery has become possible without the possibility of hair transplantation.
Thanks to the fue method in hair transplantation, the problem of hairlessness has disappeared. Whatever the reason for hair loss, this problem is completely eliminated by hair transplantation with the fue method.
If there is an active scalp disease, it should be treated before the operation, antibiotics should be used in the presence of active acne, if there is excessive dandruff, it should be treated, if there are skin lesions that may be precancerous, they should be taken before the operation and sent to pathology.
Before hair transplantation, if a wig is used, its use should be restricted 1-2 weeks beforehand, if it is attached to the skin with an adhesive, this adhesive should be washed. Cosmetic products such as jelly and topical should not be used before the operation. If sprays that prevent hair loss such as minoxil are used, their use should be discontinued 1 week in advance. It should not be forgotten that the hair will be cut by the clinic on the day of surgery.
As long as the donor area is sufficient, any person with hair loss can have it done. The fue method can be recommended for patients who do not want a straight line scar in the donor area, who wish to transplant more grafts in one session, and who want to use short donor area hair. Fue technique is also recommended for candidates who have had fut or fue done before. Fue is a very suitable method for patients who have small openings in the hairline or crown area, who risk shedding in the future, and who may need a second or third operation.
If there is any systemic disease that will constitute a contraindication to an operation to be performed under local anesthesia, it should be performed after this disease has been treated. It is not recommended for patients with unrealistic expectations and insufficient donor area. It should also be done after active disease treatment in patients with active skin disease. Before the procedure, B12, B6, and zinc levels should be normal and thyroid disease should be treated, if any. In diabetic patients, blood sugar levels should be at normal levels. The presence of psychological disorders such as trichotillomania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and body dysmorphic syndrome should still be investigated in patients.

There may be some hesitation about whether to have the application performed in patients who have lost the line of the front hair or the posterior crown area, and the other areas have not. As it is known, it is an operation performed with aesthetic concerns. The retraction of the line or the opening of the crown area can cause various aesthetic concerns. In such cases, it can be done without waiting for the loss of other hair. It is possible to repeat the fue method in the future. It is one of the most important advantages of the Fue technique. In other words, when other hairs fall out, a second operation can be performed before an unnatural appearance occurs. With these operations that can be done over the years, the problem of baldness is solved without ever going bald.
Afterwards, especially the donor area is closed and the recipient area is left open. This dressing is removed after an average of 2-3 days while the hair is being washed.
Especially the treated area should be protected from all kinds of trauma. Prevention of edema that may occur can be prevented by lying on the patient's back. Due to the edema due to the operation, the hair line may appear asymmetrical or too far back, misleading the patient. In fact, it will be possible to make such evaluations only after 8 months. It is not recommended for the patient to drive while going home. You can start using your medications prescribed by your doctors at home. It is recommended to eat light meals after the operation. Again, the use of cigarettes and alcohol is not recommended for an average of 10 days after the operation.
2-3 days after the operation, the dressings will be opened, and the area and the recipient area will be washed appropriately. These washes will take an average of ten days a week, once a day. In these washes, firstly, the drugs applied to the scalp after the operation will be cleaned, and then the skin parts on the most surface of the transplanted grafts will fall off. In the meantime, yellow and white stains that can be seen between the transplanted grafts may be lotion residues. Meanwhile, when the transplanted area is evaluated, the crusts seen are the most superficial skin parts of the grafts. These crusts can be poured asymmetrically while falling. This may give the wrong impression that the patient is planted too little on one side and too much on the other.
Bath, pool, sauna, sea, heavy sports are not recommended for an average of one and a half months. Smoking and alcohol can be reduced. The patient can use the shampoos he used before.
It is poured in the form of an incision 3-4 weeks after the operation. This phenomenon is called shock shedding. In fact, the producing follicles are planted. As the hair falls, these follicles remain under the skin and begin to produce hair. They start dating after an average of 3 months. They don't all come out at the same time. The output continues for an average of 5 months, increasing the intensity, and continues until the eighth month. Situations such as asymmetry in regions, concentration of one region before, and less frequent occurrence of other regions can be seen. Therefore, it would not be correct to evaluate the result in this period. An average of 8 months should be waited for the evaluation of the outputs. Between the eighth month and the first year, softening of the scar and redistribution of the hairy strands due to this softening and also thickening are observed. When the eighth month and the first year are compared, it is noticed that the first year image is more natural. An average of one year can be expected in the evaluation of its natural appearance. Since they are not affected by the DHT hormone, there is no shedding like in male pattern baldness.
There may be a rash during the wound healing process. In non-sensitive skin, this redness is expected to go away within 10 days. However, this redness may last longer on sensitive skin.
