Hair Restoration and Replacement For Women

For women, the losing of hair is often very distressing. Most cases of hair loss in women are due to inherited female pattern balding, but medical conditions can also be involved, such as low thyroid or iron levels, hormonal imbalances such as elevated testosterone, binge dieting, and pregnancy. Another cause of hair loss in women is the distortion of hair growth and scarring as a result of prior facial plastic surgery. Most of these conditions are treatable, giving women some options where, just 5 years ago, hair transplantation would not have even been considered. Through the work of the Womens Center for Hair Loss patients can be assured of having state of the art work. Even today, most doctors performing hair transplantation do not offer this procedure to women, because of the additional challenges and required experience. Our surgeons regularly perform procedures on women, and have authored scientific articles on the topic. As with men, the procedure of choice in women is usually follicular unit grafting, but with certain modifications. The specifics of your procedure will be discussed with a doctor from the Foundation.

What Kind of Techniques are used in Hair Transplant Surgery?

Simply put, the hair transplant procedure involves moving healthy hair follicles from the back and sides of the head to areas that are bald or thinning due to male or female pattern hair loss. The hair transplant takes place by surgically transferring these genetically-resistant hair follicles in the form of follicular grafts into the balding areas.

The investment in surgical hair restoration varies greatly depending on the techniques used, as well as your individual hair loss situation. Your investment will last a lifetime. There is a great amount of flexibility in the manner in which sessions are set up and spaced, in order to best ease the patient's financial burden.

Over the past decade, there have been monumental changes in the way hair transplantation is performed. Both the techniques of hair transplant surgery and the instrumentation have been refined and sophisticated to a point that it is possible in most patients to consistently achieve results that are undetectable to the public.

At Creative Hair Replacement, in Tupelo, Mississippi, we constantly strive to stay as up-to-date as possible with the advances in the field, so that our clients realize the highest quality results possible.

Surgical Hair Restoration

Most people considering surgical hair restoration are unaware of the scope and possible pitfalls of this medical specialty. While some perspective patients may understand the basic science behind these procedures, few have any grasp of the aesthetics and artistry required to perform them well. Unfortunately, many of the physicians who perform these procedures are as ill informed as their patients.

Flashy marketing and high-pressure sales pitches dominate the field, making truly objective and rational decision making by the patient nearly impossible. In general, hair transplantation is not handled as the medical specialty that it is, one that serves patients, but rather as a business that serves consumers.

With that said, The American Hair loss Association fully endorses surgical hair restoration for those candidates who can benefit from the procedure. It is important to note, however, that there are only a handful of qualified surgeons and surgical staffs performing hair restoration surgery in the US and worldwide. In this section you will learn what questions to ask during your consults, as well as what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a hair restoration surgeon.
