Density in Hair Transplant
Density in Hair Transplant is something that often leads to some confusion between the doctor and patient after the procedure.
The first thing that must be understood is that Hair Transplant will not give a totally natural density in one session alone. This is not due to any defect in technique but a natural limitation of the procedure.
Hence it is important to understand that we cannot give the patient the same thickness of hair that he had when he was eighteen or so and had not had any hair loss. This point must be appreciated thoroughly before any patient goes for hair transplant.
The natural density of hair for a young person is around 80-100 hairs per square cm. But in hair transplant, we cannot give a density higher than 40 per sq cm in the first session itself.
There are two important limitations. The first is that when hair is packed in very tightly, adjoining hairs pop out when a new hair is put in and this places limitations on how tight the packing can be done. Secondly, if hair is packed in too tightly, the new grafts cannot get adequate blood supply and so the survival rate decreases.
Due to this, it is considered better not to try to achieve a density higher than 40 per sq cm.
This density is usually considered sufficient by most people. It gives sufficient cover to the scalp. Though not as thick as a young boy, it is still adequate to give a sense of youth.The scalp is nicely covered when hair is kept reasonably long. Scalp may show through when hair is cut short or the hair is wet.
Most persons would be quite satisfied with this density. However, if a higher density is sought, the patient has to go in for a second session after a period of 6 months. New grafts can then be placed again in between the previous grafts which will have stabilized nicely by now. This will increase the density to 80 per sq cm which will appear naturally thick.
The most important maxim of hair transplant is that we try to achieve the best functional coverage of hair and not perfect coverage.
Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic takes several steps to ensure that quality is maintained for each and every patient. The key to quality maintenance is to implement quantizable quality standards and maintain proper documentation and review of processes. Downtown Hospital is an ISO 9001:2008 and NABH accredited hospital which demands strict adherence to quality control.Steps taken are:
Safety assurance: all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown Hospital with its full complement of anesthesiologists and critical care specialists. Hence patients are assured of full safety standards at the same level as that of major surgeries including transplant surgeries.
Sterilization assurance: since procedures are done in the major OT full sterilization is maintained. Fumigation is done every week and swab tests are done to check for contamination.
Best instrumentation: Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic uses the best available instruments like 6X Heine Loupe for precision and accuracy, Blunt Titanium punches which avoids damage and transection of the Follicular Units, Choi implanters to standardise the process of planting and prevent damage during planting, Major OT level sterilization, fumigation and autoclaving of all instruments, etc.
Efficiency count: Efficiency counts for FUE like transection rates and speed of transplant are noted and documented for each case and reviewed every 10 cases. Arogyam Hair Transplant achieves international standards of transection and speed consistently.
Counting trays: Counting trays are used to contain the follicular units and all patients are given photographs on their mobiles which they can use to easily count the number of follicular units taken out so that they can be sure that they have received the correct number of FU's.
Dr. P. J. Mazumdar is the first and only American Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and all procedures are done following the ethical and technical guidelines of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. As such, patients can be assured of receiving full professional care as per International standards approved by the ABHRS and ISHRS.
Correct recepient density: To ensure correct recepient density, 'density stamps' are used to ensure proper density is achieved. Angle and direction of hair is meticulously maintained.
Out of body time: The out of body time, the time for which the follicular unit is outside the body, is the most critical factor for success in hair transplant. Aroyam Hair Transplant follows a special procedure to ensure that this time is the minimum. This is done by doing only 1000 follicular units at a time and then replanting them. This ensures that time out of body is less than or equal to1 hour only. This is the shortest period acheivable. Many centers do upto 2000-2500 follicular units at a time so that time out of body goes upto 4-5 hours. We are proud of our time out of body quantum. Though this may cause some sacrifice of time but results are more important.
Follow up: follow up period is critical for the patient when there are many doubts and anxieties in his mind. In our clinic, Dr. P. J. Mazumdar will remain always accessible to the patient directly on his personal mobile for any questions the patient may have during this period.
