Hair Transplantation With Fue Method

Today, when it comes to hair transplantation and hair restoration surgery with the fue method, the first thing that comes to mind is the technique that is widely used in our country. In other words, it is a method in which the hair follicles are taken one by one with a micro motor and punch without a painless work and without a surgery. The most important disadvantage of this operation is that the hair is shortened by shaving number one in order to remove the grafts one by one while starting the operation. This shaving is necessary because it is only possible to show the angle of the hair and to remove the hair with sharp tubes, which we call punch with a hole smaller than a millimeter.

However, this situation creates a significant problem in people who have an intense work life that cannot move away from daily life for a long time. Because shortening the hair in the nape and the area to be transplanted means that the patient moves away from daily life for at least 15 days. Then the hair grows and the shells are cleaned and the patient can return to work only in this way.

It is the removal of hair islands with round incisions with a millimeter and smaller diameter instruments on the scalp in the donor area. Hair transplantation with the Fue method is generally performed in the form of two shapes micro motor or graft removal by manual method from the donor area. Unlike the graftler fue method, hair is taken from a large area with fine-tipped punches, not in bulk.

What is Fue?

There have been significant developments in the field of hair transplantation in the last 25 years. The most important of these is hair transplantation with the fue method, which enables hair transplantation to spread rapidly all over the world and makes hair transplantation even more preferred. Fue, which entered the literature in 2002, provided a very important advantage by allowing seamless hair transplantation. Thus, natural hair transplantation has become a preferred solution for hair loss all over the world.

Fue hair transplantation is an abbreviation of the word follicular unit extraction. In 1990, the concept of follicular unit in which hair follicles grow and feed was discovered. This meant that the hair follicles could be transported with their sockets, which meant that the hair follicles could be transplanted quickly and comfortably with the fue method. However, this method brought with it a very important disadvantage. In the Fue method, it left a permanent suture scar in the nape of the neck with an average width of 15 to 20 cm.

How is Fue Hair Transplantation Performed?

With the FUE method, hair transplantation is taken one by one and is performed on hairless areas. In the follicle removal process, the hair in the donor area is cut first and must be short enough to be 1 mm. With local anesthesia, the hair follicle will be removed and the area to be transplanted is anesthetized. The micro motor tip is brought close to the hair center and is immersed in the skin in accordance with the exit angle of the hair root. It is cut in a cylindrical manner together with the follicle and the surrounding microscopic tissue. It is gently pulled with a micro forceps and the follicular unit is separated from the Base.

Thanks to this automatic system, which minimizes the damage of the grafts in the operation, the operation time is shortened and the number of grafts taken from the time unit increases even more. After the follicular units are collected in this way, they are placed in much smaller holes opened in the hairless area. Each follicle unit has an average of 2 to 3 follicles.

After Fue Hair Transplantation

Patients do not need to be hospitalized after hair transplantation with the FUE method. Discharge procedures are performed after the operation. The area where the tissue is removed is dressed with a special dressing. In this way, the contact with the outer region is cut off in an aesthetic way. It is very important not to go out on the day of the operation and the next day, which should be done at home. However, if there are tiresome tasks such as desk work and computer use, provided that you do not bow your head, you can do them.

It is beneficial to perform the first washing after being checked by experts in the hospital and clinic. Washing should be performed at the earliest 24 hours and at the latest 72 hours after the operation. You can get all kinds of services for hair transplantation by contacting our clinic.
