Hair Transplant In Bulgaria


Hair Transplant In Bulgaria

 

How and where is a hair transplant performed in Bulgaria?

 

If you suffer from hair loss, you may want to consider an FUE transplant. Before undergoing a transplant, the root cause must first be determined. Finding the root cause can help protect the hair you already have.

 

Before undergoing hair transplant surgery, you may be wondering about the long-term benefits and whether you are likely to start balding again. Non-surgical procedures can also be performed, such as PRP therapies, mesotherapy, laser therapy.

 

Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons in both men and women.

 

Common Causes of Hair Loss:


  • hormonal imbalance

  • autoimmune problems

  • stress

  • genetics

  • lifestyle changes

  • some medications

  • scalp infections

  • hairstyles and hair products

 

Is Grafted Hair Eternal?

 

It takes about 6 months after the procedure to start seeing the visible effect, and the final result will be after 12 months, because hair follicles need time to go through their natural cycle. In general, the donor’s hair is not affected by the hormone dihydrotestosterone or DHT. However, after the procedure, you should carefully follow all the detailed instructions for aftercare and the strategy to prevent hair loss for untransplanted hair. To improve overall results, PRP therapy is often recommended.

 

How does the doctor decide how to draw the hairline?

 

The doctor will determine where the natural hairline started before hair loss begins. Secondly, it will evaluate the starting point of the hairline. This is the lowest point where hair will start to grow after the transplant.

 

There are several muscles in the forehead and it is not possible to graft on a muscle, so the hair transplant doctor must first determine where these forehead muscles are located. This can be done by looking at the face and when you raise the eyebrows, the front folds and muscles will be revealed.

 

The other thing to consider is the angle at which the hair grows. Hair generally grows at a certain angle in different parts of the scalp. For example, side hair may grow downward, while front hair may grow outward. So it is very important to take into account the direction and angle of each hair while determining the hairline and planning the hair transplant. The hairline should not be just straight lines, so the result will look unnatural. To have a natural look, the hairline is modeled rather in a zigzag pattern.

 

According to various statistics, at the age of 35, about 40% of men face the first signs of alopecia - a side effect of the breakdown of the male sex hormone testosterone.

 

Its secondary form, dihydrotestosterone, has an adverse effect on hair follicles, causing the follicle to fall asleep forever. The hair is most exposed to the action of this hormone along the entire front-parietal area, but above all - along the line of hair growth and on the scalp.

 

Although male pattern baldness is considered a problem only in men, alopecia also occurs in women, especially after hormonal changes: at birth or menopause.

 

Hair follicle transplantation can be done in two ways:

 

After one year, the patient can see the final results of the procedure, although the recovery process can take more than a year, especially if the transplant is done in the upper part of the head.

 

Tape method or Strip method (FUT) - the surgeon removes the tape from the scalp in the occipital region and divides it into small pieces (grafts) containing 1 to 6 hair follicles, which are placed in the bald areas. This method helps to solve the problem of alopecia, even with a large area of ​​hair loss, but there are drawbacks: the doctor is not able to control the direction of growth of new hair, a scar-line remaining for the rest of life.


  • FUE is a more modern and more expensive method compared to FUT.

  • The grafts themselves are the hair follicles themselves, which are uprooted one by one from the nape of the neck.

  • No visible scars were observed after the intervention.

 

Advantages of the Fue method:


  • The recovery period after the operation is more comfortable for the patient - no severe pain, heaviness in the head, etc.

  • It is possible to transplant a larger number of follicles.

  • Scars can also be covered

 

During the first five days after hair transplantation, small crusts are visible around each transplanted hair. On the second day after the operation, the patient can return home and can resume normal activities without signs of postoperative surgery. What is important is that after the Fue transplant, the hair grows for life.

 

Will the newly grafted hair look natural and will the scar remain after that?

 

When the hair transplant procedure is performed by an experienced doctor and a professional team, the results will look natural. Getting natural results lies in proper planning and good experience.

 

This includes ensuring that the hairline is in symmetry with the facial line. Also, the quality and quantity of hair in the patient's donor area are important factors influencing the natural results.

 

What effect does it have on different types of hair - thick, curly hair, hair with an afro texture, fine and thin hair?

 

In Asians, hair follicles are grouped into single and double groups, so the Dhi method is effective, while in African-Americans the grafts are generally with triple hair follicles, and in the European race, the grafts are with triple and quadruple hair follicles.

 

Although African Americans have thin hair, the reason for this voluminous appearance is due to the fact that their hair is curly. They need fewer grafts during transplantation. 

 

Although it is good to have curly hair in this regard, it can cause complications, especially in the phase of taking grafts from the donor area. The upper layer of skin that surrounds the hair follicle on the outside is thicker and tighter than other ethnic groups. 

 

This can cause damage to the hair follicles, such as tears and damage to the grafts themselves during grafting. These risks are not usually a problem for people of Asian and European descent.

 

Disadvantages:


  • Duration of the operation

  • Good professional doctors and a team are required (not everyone can be a professional in this field).


Are the native specialists good? Is it good to undergo such a procedure in Bulgaria?

 

According to information from the network and the media, there are several hair transplant clinics in Bulgaria and they are concentrated in the capital.

 

It is impressive for the feedback of people who say that in Bulgaria there is no good practice in hair transplantation, the specialists are not well prepared, there is a lack of experience and equipment, there are dissatisfied with the results.

 

The prices are talked about differently, but in general, the procedure is expensive, the price of a graft started from 3 euros, sometimes there were promotions.

 

The native clinics emphasize advertising on the Internet and the media, most methods, techniques, and equipment for transplantation are advertised, but there is nothing specific about the professional experience and work of doctors, satisfied patients, and their effect on the procedure.

 

It is rumored that sometimes doctors did not perform the transplant, but hired teams from neighboring Turkey, which is illegal.

 

The methods that are advertised are smart graft, ava fue, dhi. It should be noted that these are names of the same technique - namely FUE, but in order to be different from other clinics and to have interest, they are advertised in this way.

 

Statistics show that these are not so preferred transplanting techniques worldwide, due to some shortcomings.

 

The Ava Fue technique is based on sucking the grafts from the back of the head with a machine, it has been reported that the grafts taken in this way are damaged and so already dead grafts are transplanted.

 

SmartGraft is also a similar machine, but from another company, working on the same principle with suction of grafts.

 

This technique is not preferred by experienced doctors because it kills grafts with a vacuum-like Ava Fue.

 

It should not be forgotten that hair transplantation is a long procedure and with just one machine you can not complete the whole operation, from 5 stages with the assistant machine is performed only 1 stage. Beware of the wrong advertising messages and tactics that are used.

 

This practice is observed especially in Bulgaria.
