Why is Hair Transplantation Performed in Women?

Women may experience hair loss due to reasons such as genetic factors, hormonal imbalances (e.g. polycystic ovary syndrome, menopause), hair pulling habits (e.g. tight buns and braids), nutritional deficiencies, stress, thyroid problems and autoimmune diseases. Hair transplantation can permanently treat hair loss caused by these reasons.

Hair Transplantation Techniques in Women

1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This is the most commonly used method in women. In this technique, hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanted to the hairless areas. This method leaves minimal scars and offers a fast recovery time.

2- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): This method is a more advanced version of FUE. Hair follicles are transplanted directly to the bald area with the help of special pens (Choi pen). It provides a denser and more natural appearance.

Benefits of Hair Transplantation for Women

- Natural Look: Hair transplantation creates a natural hairline and offers results that are compatible with the person's own hair.

- Permanent Solution: Hair transplantation offers a permanent solution; the transplanted hair continues to grow over time without falling out.

- Increases Self-Confidence: It is a procedure that increases women's self-confidence in psychological terms as well as aesthetic appearance.

Suitable Candidates for Hair Transplantation

- Women whose hair loss is concentrated in certain areas.

- Those who have genetic hair loss (especially those with a family history of hair loss).

- Those who have localized hair loss, hair loss after traumas such as injuries or burns.

- Those who have a healthy donor area.

### Risks and Side Effects

- Swelling, infection, redness and temporary shedding of transplanted hair (shock shedding) may occur.

- Scars may be more visible, especially when the FUT technique is used.

- If the procedure is not performed by a specialist surgeon, the results may have an unnatural appearance.

Results and Expectations

- Results usually appear completely within 6 to 12 months.

- After hair transplantation, the transplanted hair grows and becomes compatible with natural hair.

Hair transplantation for women is not only an aesthetic procedure, it also has a self-confidence-boosting effect. For a successful hair transplant, it is important to work with an experienced hair transplant specialist and choose the most appropriate method according to personal needs.

Before and After Hair Transplantation Process

Before:

- The person's general health status, the causes of hair loss and the suitability of the donor area are evaluated.

- Smoking, alcohol use and some medications may be restricted before the operation.

After:

- There may be sensitivity, swelling and mild pain in the scalp for the first few days.

- In the first weeks after the procedure, the transplanted area should be carefully looked after and physical activities should be avoided.

- In the first few months after the transplantation, the transplanted hair falls out (shock loss), this is normal and permanent hair begins to grow later.
