Nothing is 100% in life (aside from death and taxes). Every case and every clinic (doctor) have varying success rates. In general 90% + growth rate would be considered a success.
Thank you for your question, depending on the location on where the hair follicles are placed will depend the survival., however typically 70-90%. All The Best
Generally a transplant would be pretty close to 100% survival, but it almost never hits the perfect survival mark, and a surgeon definitely couldn't guarantee that it would be 100% either. Even if only 90% survive, that's still a lot of grafts and it'll probably look just fine once you see the final results after a full year.
This will depend greatly on the skill of your surgeon and his surgical team. In the right hands a 4,000 graft procedure should yield in the high 90% range.
If the grafts are good (meaning they are intact with bulbs attached and have been kept in cool holding solution and not dried out) and are planted well (placed gently into the sites with minimal trauma) you should expect the great majority of your grafts to grow, >90%. The factors that I mentioned above, if not done properly leads to less survival of grafts.
No , actually not.. According to my experiences on hair restoration surgery , only %80-85 of all transplanted hair follicles remain viable and grow up after surgery .İn some of cases almost non of them may regow because of un experienced hands .The most outstanding reason for poor growth and ineffectual hair restoration results is insufficient number of viable graft placement as a result of intra operative damage of follicular units ( during insertion or high transection rates during harvesting, long time of grafts out of body, dehydratation, poor FU storage conditions like high room temperature and storage fluids etc.)
The growth rate on transplanting 4000 hairs will never be 100% but in the hands of a good surgeon and an experienced team, the results should be in the 90+% range
Using concealer would not affect your transplanted hair. Many patients use it after surgery. If you're still concerned with growth, don't use it or contact your doctor for a follow up.
Dear ali.faraj, Thank you for posting this question. It is unfortunate that you are driven to an open forum for basic post-operative questions about your surgery, and that your surgeon is ignoring your emails. I would like to say I am surprised by that, but particularly in the areas of the...
It is best to discuss your medical issues or surgical history directly with your surgeon since each doctor may have a slightly different opinion.
A massage does not cause hair loss. Saunas do not cause hair loss. If you are having hair loss and believe it is related to the massage and sauna, it is best to follow up with your doctor. In general, transplanted hairs shed in a few weeks.
It is best to consult with a doctor in person if you are considering a cosmetic surgery. If you want t a pointy widow's peak a hair transplant surgery may be a better option.
If you are not happy with the results after a surgery it is best to follow up with a doctor to understand your options. Your surgical results partly depend on good communication between a doctor and the patient.
