Донорская зона после пересадки волос

Conditions such as the donor area and the healing process after hair transplantation are of great interest for people who want to have hair transplantation.

Thoughts such as the healing process of the donor area, the possibility of permanent scarring in the donor area, and the pains that may occur during or after the operation will make a question mark for people who are considering hair transplantation.

Therefore, a person who wants to have a hair transplant is curious about the condition of the donor area and the healing process of this region due to the hair transplantation operation.

When Does the Donor Area Heal After Hair Transplantation?

The healing process after hair transplantation begins immediately after the surgery. Besides, small incisions made in surgery will initially be peeled off.

On the day of surgery comes, minor cuts on the back of patients' heads will be closed by a bandage. To prevent patients from getting infected. Thus, the patient will not play with the wounds on the bottoms of the hair, and the possibility of the patient contracting germs will be eliminated.

Hair Transplantation Complications

Most patients may experience pain, oedema, and hair loss in the donor area after hair transplantation. In addition, some patients may experience undesirable side effects such as continued shelling or decreased sensation in the donor and hair transplantation area for a long time.

1. Bleeding

After the hair transplantation operation, minimal bleeding can be seen in the donor and hair transplantation areas. Aspirin, alcohol, and various blood thinners used by the patient before hair transplantation may increase the risk of bleeding.

2. Flushing and crusting

Hair transplantation is performed by sowing the grafts taken from the donor area to the designated area one by one. Therefore, redness is seen on the skin after the procedure.

After the operation, crusting occurs during the healing process of the hair transplantation area. The shells formed after hair transplantation are shed up to fifteen days.

3. Shock shedding process

When the shedding of the shells, which lasts up to fifteen days after the hair transplantation operation, is completed, there is a stage of shock shedding that can last for one or three months.

During the shock shedding phase, the remaining parts of the hair transplanted through the operation are shed on the skin, thereby starting the production of new hair. In addition, although there is shedding at this stage, the transplanted hair follicles are not damaged.

4. Infection

Since hair transplantation is usually performed in sterile conditions, the risk of developing an infection is relatively low. However, diseases that typically start from the hair follicles may develop in the field of hair transplantation.

These infections are mostly seen as donor and local types of infections in the area of hair transplantation. After the hair transplantation operation, the crusting stage may pose a risk for the development of infection. After hair transplantation, it is necessary to clean this crust from the transplantation area as quickly as possible with special shampooing after transplantation.

As you can see, various side effects and complications may occur after a hair transplantation operation. However, these side effects are infrequent in well-programmed operations or patients with good and trouble-free hair transplantation.

Will Hair Grow Again From The Root Area?

The roots must be transplanted in the hair transplantation operation or grafts in stable and healthy conditions. Accordingly, hair follicles on the back of the neck are often preferred since it is the place that began to fall out last.

However, there is a significant point to remember in this regard. Where the hair follicles are taken for hair transplantation procedures are located, hair does not grow again, which means that there will be no hair again in the donor areas where the hair is removed for hair transplantation.

In other words, grafts collected from the donor area do not appease. In addition to one of the most recent spills, the nape area is an area where hair loss is not observed. Since no region attracts a lot of attention in the neck area, the hair follicles on the neck can be used as a donor with peace of mind in hair transplantation operations.
