Facts about male hair transplant surgery

MALE PATTERN BALDNESS OCCURS AS MEN AGE. THIS IS WHEN HAIR IS LOST FROM THE SIDES, TOP OF THE SCALP AND AROUND THE HAIRLINE.

This is fairly common in men and can start as early as the age of thirty. This can lead to feelings of self consciousness and low self esteem. However, the cosmetic surgery procedure, Follicle Unit Transplant (FUT) can help to solve this problem. Below we explain everything you need to know about male FUT.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A MALE HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE?

Follicle Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT) is the process of removing hair from one area of the scalp, and then transplanting it to another area of the scalp. Hair is usually taken from the back of the scalp and transplanted to the top and sides of the scalp. The surgical procedure involves small strips of skin and their hair follicles being surgically removed and then transplanted to the new area of the scalp via fine incisions and surgical stitches.

HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE?

Generally most men will require a half day in the clinic. The procedure is carried out as a day case and under local anaesthetic, so you are free to go once the procedure has been completed.

IS THIS COSMETIC SURGERY PAINFUL?

A local anaesthetic is injected to the areas of the scalp where skin is removed and then transplanted. You should therefore feel no pain during this cosmetic procedure, although you will feel pressure. Following the procedure you may experience a little discomfort, but this will be short lived.

POST OPERATIVE CARE AND RECOVERY

Once the procedure has been carried out you will be able to go home. As the procedure uses small incisions and uses a fairly low invasive approach, healing time is pretty quick. There may be very fine scars but they will fade over time.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Full results should be seen five months post surgery. It takes this amount of time for the new hair follicles to fully grow. It will appear much finer to begin with, but will thicken over time.

One in five men getting a hair transplant is in their 20s

HAIR LOSS HAS AFFECTED MEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

WHETHER IT’S JUST A CASE OF THINGS THINNING OUT UP TOP OR WHETHER IT’S TOTAL BALDNESS, MANY SUFFERERS HAVE BEEN FORCED TO ALLOW NATURE TO TAKE ITS COURSE… UNTIL NOW.

You see, the number of male patients receiving a hair transplant has hit an all-time high after there were 635,189 procedures carried out around the world in 2016. Perhaps even more remarkably, the data shows that one in five men are still in their 20s when they choose to do something about their hair loss.

This telling detail was recently revealed by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. It stands as further evidence that hair transplants are popular within all demographics. This could be put down a number of factors, including that the world of showbiz has so openly embraced the procedure. You need look no further than the likes of Wayne Rooney, Calum Best and Jake Quickenden for examples of stars who have proudly flaunted a new head of hair after undergoing a hair transplant.

However, the fact that the procedure is so popular among young men might have something to do with the fact that it’s been proven to make a person look younger. Therefore, much like other cosmetic surgery – such as facelifts – it’s largely about reclaiming youth.

US Psychologist Thomas Cash has conducted extensive research into baldness and how it can be perceived by the rest of the world. In particular, he found that men who were bald or losing their hair were likely to look up to three years and nine months older than their actual age. Speaking about the men who were used in the research, Dr Cash said: “The bald or balding models were perceived more negatively on every dimension except intelligence.”

ARE YOU READY TO REAP THE REWARDS?

It doesn’t matter whether you’re in your 20’s, middle-aged or a senior, you’re free to reap the rewards of a hair transplant surgery or stem cell hair restoration. The procedure won’t just allow you to once again run your hands through your luscious locks but will also help you to regain the appearance of youth. For more information on the procedure, or any other form of plastic surgery, get in touch with Belvedere.

Hair transplants can cure migraines, study finds

Migraine sufferers are no stranger to being struck down with a pulsating pain without a second’s notice. In fact, the infliction – which affects roughly one in seven people in the UK – can cause people to feel nauseous, start vomiting and become sensitive to light when it strikes.

THESE SYMPTOMS, HOWEVER, COULD SOON BE A THING OF THE PAST THANKS TO FOLLICULAR UNIT HAIR TRANSPLANTS.

According to a new study, the cosmetic procedure – in which hair follicles are transplanted into balding areas – has the ability to cure migraines. The breakthrough was discovered by researchers from the SO-EP Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Clinic in Turkey. These experts recruited six men to take part in the research, all of which admitted to suffering from migraines and were going bald. Upon undergoing a hair transplant, the participants revealed that they no longer suffered from migraines or had to take pain medication to relieve headaches.

Lead researcher Dr Safvet Ors said: “The post-operative improvement in each patient was dramatic. As a result of this study, hair plantation in bald migraine patients may be an alternative to migraine treatment.”

The study, published in the journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, could not pinpoint exactly why the migraines began to subside in patients. However, it is suspected that it might have something to do with the fact that a hair transplant can destroy nerve endings in the scalp, thus limiting the signals which are responsible for causing pain.

The research is the latest positive discovery concerning the benefits of undergoing a hair transplant. It follows a study published in the JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, which found that eight of ten men believed they looked more professional with a head of hair. Known ‘the Samson Effect’, it also found that patients were deemed to appear more attractive, approachable, and successful following a hair transplant.

ENJOY THE ADVANTAGES

It seems not a day goes by without yet another discovery about how beneficial it can be to undergo cosmetic surgery. If you’ve decided that it’s your time to enjoy the advantages for yourself, be sure to get in touch with Belvedere to find out all the information you need to know.

Brian McFadden feels ‘amazing’ after having hair transplant

BRIAN MCFADDEN HAS CONFESSED THAT HE FEELS ‘AMAZING’ AFTER UNDERGOING A HAIR TRANSPLANT.

The Westlife star – once married to plastic surgery fan Kerry Katona – went through with the hair restoration procedure over the weekend. The singer clearly had no problems letting the world know afterwards because he shared pictures and videos of himself on social media as he recovered. One joy-filled tweet simply read: “So glad I finally done something about it. Feel amazing today!”

The 37-year-old also elaborated on his reason for undergoing the cosmetic procedure – citing that he had begun to feel ‘self-conscious’ as a result of his receding hairline. Sharing an image of himself with his followers on Instagram, he captioned it: “The last few years my hair line has been thinning and receding due to my lifestyle and the general stresses we go through in life. It’s been really making me self conscious and uncomfortable so I decided to do something about it.”

Brian certainly isn’t the first famous face to take action when it came to his hair. In fact, a number of celebrity men have undergone the same procedure in the last 12 months alone. The list includes Love Island star Alex Beattie and Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson – just to name a few!

Last year, X Factor star turned actor Jake Quickenden seemingly paved the way for Brian. Not only did he have a hair transplant, he also shared his explanation for doing so with his fans on Instagram. Much like Brian, 29-year-old Jake confessed he was driven to act because of his growing ‘insecurities’. He wrote: “I’ve sorted my hairline out after years of insecurities, people might say your hair was fine and didn’t need it, but after years of being really worried about losing my hair, I took the dive and did something about it!”

Can you benefit?

Hair transplants are clearly becoming more popular and more acceptable amongst men of all ages. Whether you have noticed things thinning up top or whether you’ve been balding for while, you could benefit from the same procedure. For more information, get in touch with Belvedere.

Is Prince Harry having a hair transplant after the royal wedding?

PRINCE HARRY IS RICH, GOOD LOOKING AND ABOUT TO MARRY THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS – WHAT MORE COULD HE WANT?

Well, it seems the popular royal won’t be satisfied until he’s also got a head full of hair. According to reports, Harry is planning on getting a hair transplant once he’s tied the knot with fiancée Meghan Markle in May. Harry’s wife-to-be is also thought to be very much in favour of him undergoing the procedure.

A source told the Daily Star: “He’s a modern prince and he wants to stay looking as young as possible for as long as possible. Meghan helped talk him into it because she’s seen dozens of male friends in Hollywood going for these treatments. Harry knows everyone will make a massive deal out of it, but he feels he’s young enough at 33 that he shouldn’t feel bad about wanting to reverse his hair loss.”

It’s hardly surprising that Meghan is the reason that Harry’s been inspired to undergo the treatment. After all, Meghan is said to be responsible for a number of people finally biting the bullet and treating themselves to cosmetic surgery. In particular, doctors – both in the UK and the US – have noticed that patients are requesting nose jobs with the hope of looking and feeling as beautiful as Meghan.

New York-based doctor Philip J. Miller recently spoke about the fad, when he told Moneyish: “It’s pretty crazy – people have come asking me for her nose six times in the past week at least.”

Meanwhile, Florida-based surgeon Dr. Rian Maercks agreed that Meghan is the number one beauty that is inspiring people to change their own image – blaming it on the actress’s ‘aesthetic facial balance’ that many understandably find desirable.

He explained: “Particularly her nose, which has this tight, small tip with extreme definition that people are into, and nice, supple lips that fit her face while being very natural-looking. And we can give this natural look with minimally invasive techniques using filler products.”

Fancy feeling like royalty?

If you’ve been inspired to improve your appearance like Harry then don’t hesitate to get in touch with Belvedere. There could very well be a cosmetic procedure that will make you feel like a picture perfect member of The Royal Family. At Belvedere Clinic, we are now performing a groundbreaking treatment for early stage hair loss.
