Actually, hair transplantation is one of the surgeries that need accuracy and high skill and it takes long time and effort to performed perfectly, so the lack of experience is one of the reasons that contribute in the failure of the surgery, when patient need to get this surgery. He must first search for the most skilled doctors, and do not forget to search for the performed patients who got this surgery and identify their opinions and expectations.
2- Miscalculation of Donor Area
It is known that the most of baldness cases was because hair follicles was affected by hormone called dihydrotestosterone where hair follicles stop produce hair. The hair follicles in the front of the head be affected more than other areas from the back or the sides of the head. The areas in the back and the sides of the head are healthy and can produce hair naturally. So these areas are suitable to extract hair follicles from it and implant them in baldness areas, miscalculated donor area lead to implant weak, ineffective, hair follicles that are incapable to produce the required hair. It is also important to know that extracting much hair follicles expose this area to be bald,
where it must ensure the right density of hair follicles to avoid creating another problem.
3- Destroying Hair Follicles While Extracting
We have already pointed that this surgery requires ultimate accuracy. Because extracting hair follicles and implanting them need much care and with certain angle that doctor must know or hair follicles will be destroyed while extracting them. The more of the number of destroyed hair follicles is the more the rate of failure of the surgery is be.
4- Decreasing Extracted Hair Follicles Rate
Notably, extracted hair follicles must be take much care and be protected till implanted it in its new area, so between extracting area and implanting stage. These hair follicles must be kept to protect them alive. Also, hair follicles must not be kept more than 10 minutes after extracting them, if doctor puts them in the refrigerator. It must be kept at temperature 4 or 5 C and still in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 hours. Besides the follicles can not still more than 4 minutes and must be implanted immediately. These follicles are kept in certain solutions which kept follicles alive.
5-Skin Necrosis at Hair Transplant Areas
Skin necrosis occurs when doctor implant more hair follicles than needed. Doctor may resort to implant 4000 hair follicles and hope to get the best results. While this area does not need more than 2000 hair follicles. As a result, this leads to cells death, the other reason that leads to skin necrosis is implanting a large number of hair follicles in one session or opening deep and wide incisions during implanting. This destroy capillaries that feed this area.
6- Not to Take Care of Implanted Follicles After Surgery
Then, doctor gives many important instructions that must be followed after the surgery especially after immediate days and weeks. So, taking care is much important than the surgery itself, where friction and not to wash hair probably lead to the failure of the surgery. Also, it may cause infection because of lack of cleanliness, beside sweating and exposing to sun lead to serious consequences. It is better to avoid swimming during the first months of the surgery and avoiding smoking and drinking alcohol drinks. Avoid taking any medication unless under the observation of the doctor. Do not forget that healthy nutrition is one of the best thing that help getting healthy hair.
7- Not to Be an Appropriate Person for the Surgery
It is true that hair transplantation can change a lot of people lives but it is not suitable for everyone. Because a lot of operations failed because their patients were not candidates for it, in other words. It must do detailed examinations about medical history and all information and reasons that lead to baldness. Most of cases suffer from baldness because of genetic factors and other reasons attached to health condition for the patient. After doing tests and examinations doctor can decide if patient is a candidate for the surgery or not especially if he is young. Because it is hard to determine if there will changing in donor area or not. So, it must wait until hair get stability and stop falling or baldness area will continue to appear after getting the surgery and the surgery will fail.
8- Lack of Honesty in Some Hair Transplantations Clinics
Like any other profession not all workers in this field are honest, just as you search for the experienced doctor. You must also search for the quality of the work in hair transplantations clinics. Some people interest only in gathering money and do not care of the fail or the success of the operation. Also, they may do not care of many examinations that indicate if you are a candidate of the surgery or not. So, you will not need only for experienced doctor. But you also need to distinctive staff and excellent technician to depend on and consult them at any time. If you feel from the beginning of lack of interest and care. Do not hesitate to leave the place and go to another. Also, good reputation and patients opinion are one of the most important things that patient must take for granted.
