Hair Transplant Malaysia: Am I a Suitable Candidate?
Before determining if you’re an ideal candidate for hair transplant Malaysia, let’s briefly discuss hair restoration surgery. Hair loss is a common issue affecting both men and women globally. However, various surgical options are available to restore hair on your head.
Hair restoration is a surgical procedure where a specialist extracts hair follicles from one area and implants them in another. This method is commonly used for Male Pattern Baldness, where follicles are transplanted from the sides and back of the head to the balding area. Since the hormone DHT, which causes hair follicle damage and shrinkage, does not affect hair in these areas, transplanted hairs are not susceptible to this issue.
Assessing Your Suitability for Transplant Surgery
Before undergoing hair transplant surgery, it’s crucial to consult with a specialist who will consider various factors to determine if you are a suitable candidate:
Extent of Hair Loss: Individuals with severe baldness may not have enough donor follicles to cover the thinning area effectively.
Limited Donor Area: Hair will not grow back in the area where follicles are extracted, so there’s a finite number of follicles that can be removed before the donor area starts to appear visibly thinner.
Hair Thickness: Individuals with thinning but still relatively thick hair may not be ideal candidates, as there may not be enough space to insert the new hair. Additionally, thick and thin hair adjacent to each other can create a visually odd appearance.
Specific Hair Conditions: Individuals with extreme Alopecia Areata, Lichen Planus, or Pseudopelade may not be suitable candidates, as these conditions can affect any area of the scalp, potentially damaging transplanted hair.
