Each hair follicle taken from the donor area is called a graft. Graft surgery is actually the transfer of any tissue in the body, which plastic surgeons often do, to another part of the person's own body. For example, in skin burns, closure of wounds after skin tumor surgery, closure of open wounds after hand surgery, after contracture and in hair transplantation.
Each graft taken in hair transplantation is very valuable. Because it will create your existing hair in the future, the volume of your hair. It is very important to enter the hair root at a sufficient depth with the right angle and to take the graft without damaging the hair root. For this, it is important to know the thickness of the scalp, the epithelial structure, to have experience in graft application, to have a good grasp of anatomy, to apply patiently with a fine and meticulous surgery, in order to remove the graft from the area where it is located.
The hair graft, which is removed without damage, is a living tissue. It should stay outside for sufficient time and be prepared for transfer. If it stays longer than necessary, it will cause the hair follicle to lose its vitality.
A small slot is opened directly in the area where the graft is transplanted, according to the direction of the hair. This slot should be of sufficient depth and width. Here are some of the most important points, sowing should be done without damaging the hair root,
According to the growth direction of other hair, the estimated growth direction of the graft to be transplanted should be calculated,
Planting should be done in harmony with other hairs.
In the applications made without paying attention to the details, the specified amounts of grafts are taken and planted. However, the damaged hair grafts that have lost their strength cannot hold on to their new place. Grafts that cannot hold their new place cannot maintain their vitality for a long time. The grafts taken will be wasted. The donor area is reduced, and material and moral losses are experienced.
