FUE Hair Transplant

How it is?

The FUE hair transplant technique in Mexico consists of the extraction of individual hair follicles; The same that are grafted in the areas of the head where there is a baldness problem. These are taken from the area where the hair is most abundant, usually from the nape or from the sides.

Does hair fall out again?

Any of the hair transplant techniques is permanent, as long as you take good care of the area where the follicles were grafted. Genetically, the hair on the nape does not fall out, even if you have a severe baldness problem. The rest of the hair that remains in the receiving area can fall as it is normal.

Consider that months after your surgery, there is a period in which the hair of the transplanted follicles falls out. This is completely normal as they are adapting to the area where they were grafted and will grow back.

Will it show that the hair was transplanted?

The FUE hair transplant technique is 100 percent effective, so it will look completely like your normal hair because, ultimately, it is your hair. In the past, several follicles were grafted at the same time and it looked like doll hair; now, when grafted one by one, the follicles look natural.

How long does the surgery take?

This depends on the needs of each patient; many times they require more grafts and it can take several sessions of between 4 and 5 hours to achieve a change. From the beginning, the plastic surgeon will inform you approximately how long your operation will take.

Is it a painful procedure?

Not at all! In the FUE hair transplant in Mexico a local anesthesia is used, very similar to that used in dental procedures. The only thing you will feel will be a small sting from the anesthesia and, from time to time, a small tug on the follicles that will be extracting you.

On some occasions, the patient falls asleep because he feels absolutely nothing and takes the time that the hair transplant surgery lasts to rest. Discomfort may occur after the anesthesia has passed and you are home; for those cases, the doctor will prescribe some painkillers that will help you.

Does it leave scars?

The cuts that the doctor will make to remove each of the hair follicles are so small that the wounds will close quickly and you will not see a mark. You may have a small mark on your scalp , but no one will notice it unless they look closely at you.

Is postoperative care difficult?

Postoperative care is not many, but it is very important that you perform it to the letter so that the newly grafted hair follicles do not fall out . You can do most of your normal activities from the moment you leave the operating room, although if we recommend a rest day, it is not necessary.

Some of the things to consider is that you will not be able to wear caps or hats for a long time, while you are healing. You have to clean the area where your hair was transplanted very well and avoid doing activities where you sweat a lot or that are outdoors, at least for the first few months.

What is the difference with the FUT hair transplant technique?

The main difference is that the hair extraction with the FUE technique is hair by hair and with the FUT a strip of 20 centimeters is removed from the nape to obtain the largest number of hair follicles. Both have their advantages and it will depend on the needs of the patient to know which is the most recommended.

Is it really a good option to cure baldness?
