Hair transplant/ FUE hair transplant in scar area

We often get patient for loss of beard/ moustache/ eyebrow following scarring. Common misconception about hair transplant into the scar area is that hair follicle cannot be transplanted into scar tissue because they won’t survive due to lack of blood supply. This is totally wrong. At the time of injury and subsequent suturing, adjacent hair follicles are damaged. With time the scar spread and this leads to absence of hair follicle in scar line. Scar area has lesser blood supply compared to normal area but that’s not a contraindication for hair transplant.  We don’t do dense packing in  the scar area. Patients are generally called for a second hair transplant session to achieve a good density. Hair transplant into the scar area needs a skilled specialist hair transplant surgeon as there are many other finer modifications over the hair transplant in a normal area.

FACIAL FAT GRAFTING

Facial fat grafting is a medical procedure that uses a patient own fat to rejuvenate or augment certain areas of the face.

       Facial fat grafting is done in that patient who wants to improve contours and add fullness in areas of insufficient or depleted volume may be good candidates for natural fat grafting.

             

Procedure:

       The procedure is done under local or general anaesthesia. The fat is harvested from a donor site such as abdomen, waist, inner thigh or inner knees, utilizing a small syringe or blunt cannula. This fat is purified in a centrifuge in order to separate the blood, fluid and damaged fat cells prior to its use in facial grafting. The fat is then placed in small syringe and injected into the predetermined areas of the face.

 Fat grafting is a day care surgery. The common side effects are bruising, swelling and contour irregularity which recovers within 2 weeks. We do the following to minimize this recovery discomfort: ice the face before and after grafting, cool down the fat before grafting and antibiotic is essential.
