Do Hair Transplants Last Forever? | Learn the Truth

By 02/16/2023Hair Transplant

There are different solutions for hair loss. However, when the roots completely die or lose their function, hair transplantation will be the only effective method for a permanent result. You can have your old appearance back with this procedure, which is applied as a simple surgical operation.

Are hair transplantation results permanent? Will they last forever? Can the transplanted grafts fall out again? All the answers are in our article.

What is Needed for a Permanent Hair Transplantation?

In hair transplantation, grafts taken from the healthy area are transferred to the hairless area. The transplanted grafts continue to preserve the properties of the area they were taken from in their new locations. Therefore, the choice of donor area stands out among the most important factors here.

Since the hair that is most resistant to falling on the scalp is found on the neck, this area is primarily preferred as the donor area. Apart from this, the procedure should be performed by a specialist and experienced surgeon in a clinic with medical qualifications. You must act according to the instructions given by the doctor and his team after the procedure.

The most effective solution for those who experience male/female pattern hair loss is hair transplantation. The grafts transplanted will mostly be permanent after the procedure.

The person’s existing hair, not the transplanted hair, may continue to fall in the future due to male pattern baldness. If this falling becomes serious, a second hair transplantation surgery can be considered for this newly thinned area. To avoid any misunderstanding, it should be stated again that the grafts transplanted in hair transplantation do not fall, they are permanent.

Only 2-3 weeks after the operation, you can see that some of the hair falls. This situation may cause disappointment for you. However, this situation, which is called shock loss, is extremely normal. After the shock loss, your hair will start to grow back stronger.

Is It Permanent Forever?

Thanks to the grafts taken from the genetically resistant area, the results of hair transplantation are permanent. Grafts taken from the donor area will preserve their properties in their new locations. Thanks to the procedure performed in the right way, the results last a lifetime. Please remember that your doctor’s instructions, your lifestyle, and other details are also important here.

Factors Affecting the Permanence of Hair Transplantation

When hair transplantation is performed by expert surgeons and patients follow the instructions in the following period, the results will be permanent. However, it should not be forgotten that some important factors affect permanence. These factors and the related details are generally as follows:

[vc_single_image image=”18561″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_toggle title=”Ongoing Hair Loss” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%230da9c1″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” custom_css_animation=”fadeInDown” use_custom_heading=”true”]The grafts transplanted with the surgery are permanent for life. However, if the person has a hair loss problem, their natural hair will continue to fall out. This situation may adversely affect the overall appearance if not the results of the operation. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to resolve the hair loss first. PRP treatment is very effective for this. You can make the decision together with a specialist surgeon.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Right Doctor and Right Clinic” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%230da9c1″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” custom_css_animation=”fadeInDown” use_custom_heading=”true”]Techniques used for hair transplantation develop and change every day. The success rate of techniques such as FUE and DHI used today is extremely high. Choosing the right technique is extremely important for permanence. Preferring the clinic that applies this method well is as equally important as the right method. At COSMETICIUM, we have an expert team of doctors who apply both FUE and the more advanced DHI method.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Post-Operative Period” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%230da9c1″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” custom_css_animation=”fadeInDown” use_custom_heading=”true”]Another factor that is effective in permanence is the period after the operation. No matter how successful the surgical procedure is, failure to follow the doctor’s instructions and not showing the necessary care in the next period will affect the results. Therefore, it is of great importance to acting according to the doctor’s instructions in the post-operative period.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Donor Area Capacity” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%230da9c1″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” custom_css_animation=”fadeInDown” use_custom_heading=”true”]For permanent results, it is of great importance to determine the donor area and how many healthy grafts there are in the relevant area. If there are enough grafts in the donor area (which is usually the case), you can obtain the desired result. However, in cases where the number is insufficient, grafts can be taken from different areas such as the chest.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Eligible Candidates” custom_font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%230da9c1″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” custom_css_animation=”fadeInDown” use_custom_heading=”true”]Hair transplantation is considered the most effective method used for baldness today. Although it is a special method, it is not suitable for everyone. Unfortunately, not all people with baldness can benefit from this procedure. This procedure can be applied to eligible candidates who meet certain conditions. Therefore, it should be accepted that it is a procedure that is not suitable for everyone and may yield different results for everyone.[/vc_toggle]

Do I Need Second Hair Transplantation?

Operations performed with FUE and DHI techniques will maintain their permanence for a long time. Especially the grafts taken from the area resistant to falling are very important. However, some patients may need a second procedure for various reasons. The details of these reasons are as follows:

  • Decrease in hair thickness due to age
  • Loss of hair other than transplanted due to age
  • Environmental and genetic factors

Does a Bad Hair Transplantation Last Forever Too?

If you had bad hair transplantation and the results bother you, you can have the results fixed with an additional operation or a different method. However, depending on how many grafts were taken from the donor area in the first operation, it should be determined whether a second operation is possible or not.

Cases such as a weak front line or sparse results require an additional procedure for fixing. Otherwise, it may not be possible to correct the results that disturb you. The final decision is given as a result of the doctor’s examination.
