All the information you need in order to make a informed decision is here so you can decide if a hair implant procedure is right for you.  Hair implants are not for everyone and there are definitely several different methods of regrowing hair that you should look at to be best informed as to what you want to do about your thinning hair or your baldness.

Hair implants do work but they can be very expensive if done correctly.  And if they are not correctly they can really look bad.  In fact, bad hair implants are known as hair plug jobs because they tend to look like the cheap dolls heads with just plugs of hair stuck in the scalp.

If you are contemplating hair implant surgery there are a few things you need to know.  First the surgery is usually conducted in the office of the plastic surgeon under a local anesthesia.  Some times patients who are extremely nervous will be put completely under but this is rare.  Once the scalp is prepared the doctor or an assistant cuts narrow strips of skin including the hair follicles from the scalp.  This seems like it could be a problem but once sutured these slits are noticable under only very close inspection.

Once the strips are removed a technician uses a microscope to remove the individual hair follicles.  They are cleaned and prepared for the procedure.

When it is time to insert the hair the plastic surgeon makes a small incision or hole in the scalp where the hair has fallen out.  He or she inserts one to three hairs into each incision.  This mimics how hairs grow naturally on the head.  The surgeon works to place the hairs in such a way that they lay in the direction of the surrounding hair.  This results in a very natural looking head of hair because since the hair comes from another part of the head the color matches perfectly.  Also, laying the hair in a direction that matches the existing hair makes it look that much better.
