As time passes, you may notice that your hair is not as thick or full as it once was. You might try different hairstyles, special shampoos, or topical treatments, but these options will likely not provide lasting results if your hair continues to thin. You may become frustrated and less self-confident.
Hair transplant surgery can help you feel more like yourself again and start each day with renewed confidence by reliably restoring your natural hair growth. With safe, proven hair transplant surgery in Annapolis, our double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Namita Murthy, can enhance your appearance and help you feel self-assured, knowing you look your best.
Why Consider Hair Transplant Surgery?
When you experience hair loss, it is not just about your looks. It can change how you feel about yourself in social situations, at work, and even in your personal life. You may start wearing hats more often or refuse to be photographed. A hair transplant gives you the opportunity to change that.
Unlike temporary fixes, a hair transplant is a permanent solution because our plastic surgeon uses your own natural hair to fill in thinning or bald areas. Once your transplanted hair has grown in, you can wash, cut, and style it just like the rest of your hair. It is your hair—Dr. Murthy has simply moved it to areas where you need it most. This is one reason our surgical hair restoration procedure has become a trusted option for men and women in Annapolis who face hair loss. Another reason is that we are a concierge plastic surgery practice offering car service to and from our procedures, overnight care, and real-time text-messaging access to Dr. Murthy.
What the Procedure Involves
In our carefully planned hair transplant procedure, Dr. Murthy relocates healthy hair follicles to areas of your scalp where hair is sparse or absent. These follicles will come from the back or sides of your head, where the hair tends to be thicker and more resistant to thinning. Because the transplanted hair is your own, it will blend in naturally once it grows.
In follicular unit transplantation, which is a common procedure, Dr. Murthy removes a small strip of your scalp and divides it into individual grafts. In follicular unit extraction, Dr. Murthy takes out each follicle one by one. You can undergo either surgical hair transplantation method under local anesthesia at our Annapolis practice, so you will be comfortable throughout the process, which will last for a few hours.
After your surgery, you will follow strict instructions on how best to support your newly transplant hair to ensure successful transplantation. Small scabs will appear in the donor area, which will heal over 7-10 days. 10-14 days after the procedure, the transplanted hair follicles will shed. It may look like nothing happened! However, the root of the hair follicle has healed in place, and the hair will start to appear in 2-3 months, with a fuller head of hair in 6 months. Most people are able to return to their normal activities within a week after the procedure.
