The Importance Of Graft Calculation In Hair Transplants

by Chris G. Work in Internet Business industry

Hair Transplantation is one of the most recent additions to the medical cosmetics and aesthetics reconstruction sector, offering individuals a scientifically proven solution to the problem of hairloss. Of course, a medical procedure as critical and delicate is expensive, especially in many major European Countries. However, in the case of Turkey, it has a favorable result when it comes to calculating the ratio of quality results to costs. There are many hair transplant centers in Turkey, offering quality services at much cheaper rates than in other European countries.

However, not many know about an essential part of the procedure, which is one of the major determinants of the expense of the whole ordeal; Grafting.

Calculating grafts is one of the first steps involved in hair transplantation and has immense implications on the quality of the outcome. Grafts can thus be considered as an appropriate unit of measurement for performing correct hair transplantation.

Understanding What a Graft is:

In simple terms, a graft can be defined as a piece of tissue containing a bundle of hair follicles and is used as a primary determinant to decide the amount of hair needed to be reconstructed for each patient.

There is no definitive general answer when it comes to the amount of hair contained in each of the hair follicles, as it varies from person to person. For instance, individuals who are suffering from a high degree of baldness would have only one hair attached to their hair follicles. Thus, for a hair transplant clinic, it is always crucial to analyze the patient’s existing hair before deciding on a method. This is one of the reasons, why it is important to visit a specialized clinic which deals with such hair transplants and surgery.

How Grafts Can Differ from Patient to Patient:

Hair transplantation is a time-consuming process usually requiring several sessions to complete successfully. Thus, the number of grafts required during a grafting session can vary from person to person as well as the donor area. It is possible to perform up to 7000 grafts in a single session for patients who already have healthy grafts containing more than one hair.  On an average, a session covering 4000 grafts would have a positive effect on the final outcome.  However, the success does not only depend on the number of grafts performed, but rather by the prediction of the correct number of follicles of the patient.

Risks Associated with Improper Grafting:

Graft calculations if done incorrectly or insufficiently can have negative effects on the patient, ranging from minor to major medical complications. Thus, it is important to understand all the associated complications when you choose any of the treatments. A lot of it depends on the level of expertise of the doctor in charge and others in charge of the procedure. Some of them are highlighted below:

  • Consistent bleeding of the scalp area
  • Infections of the scalp
  • Swelling of the scalp area
  • Scab formation
  • Lack of sensation in the operated area.
  • Persistent itching feeling
  • Folliculitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the hair follicles.

Thus, to avoid the above post-operative predicaments, it is always recommended to do proper research about the clinic’s background and the medical professional involved before going fortreatment.

Final Thoughts:

Many people commit the mistake of choosing hair transplant clinics and services based on price alone. However, there have been instances where serious medical consequences have been a direct result of an incompetent transplant. Thus, it is always advised to check for past client feedback when considering a particular clinic.
