8000 Grafts Hair Transplant in Turkey

Hair transplantation is a challenging procedure that requires expertise. Turkey is known for its remedy options for hair loss, and it also offers several treatment options available for 8000 grafts hair transplant in Turkey. In the rest of the article, we’ll cover the process, budget, care instructions, and more needed for 8000 grafts.

What are hair grafts?

A hair graft refers to a group of hair tissue. Although there is no specific number of hair strands in a graft, they usually consist of 2 to 3 hairs. If you have a sufficient number of healthy hair grafts in the donor area, you can be a suitable candidate for a hair transplant procedure.

In general, patients who want to undergo a hair transplant procedure in Turkey may fall into a misconception because they think follicles and grafts are the same term. However, a graft refers to a bunch of hair follicles within skin tissue. So, follicles cannot be extracted and transplanted one-by-one. Instead, they are extracted while preserving the viability of the follicles and then transplanted into the recipient site.

During hair replacement, it is important that the donor is the patient themselves. Grafts taken from someone else can not be transplanted to another person. Even if they are transplanted, they cannot adapt to new channels and the follicles lose their vitality.

Grafts remain alive during hair transplantation. They continue their normal hair cycle while being taken from the donor area, sorted, and during the transplantation process. In fact, they even start to become visible on the skin a few days after the transplantation. However, preserving the vitality of the grafts is the most crucial aspect of the transplantation process. Because any damage to the graft will cause the follicles to die. In this case, there is no hair growth. Therefore, the surgeon should handle the grafts sensitively, and all steps should be carried out precisely during the process of harvesting and transplanting donor follicles.

How many hair one graft includes?

As a singular follicular unit, a hair graft may contain several hair follicles. Hair grafts are the main component of the entire hair transplant procedure. If they are not healthy, hair transplant procedures cannot be applied. Whether you undergo with FUE or DHI procedure, the quantity and health status of the remaining hair grafts will determine the possibility of the surgery’s success.

A healthy individual has a minimum of one and a maximum of 4 hair follicles. However, hair follicles can lose their vitality because of many reasons. During hair transplantation, it cannot be immediately understood whether the hair follicles in a damaged graft are alive or not. At least 3-6 months must pass to be understood because this is the full recovery period of hair transplantation.

8000 Grafts Hair Transplant Process

The hair transplant procedure has several steps. For a successful surgery, the surgeon must follow these steps carefully:

Overall 8000 Graft Hair Transplant Process Time

The most severe phase of male pattern baldness is Norwood Scale, stage 7. At this stage, the patient needs a minimum of 7,000 grafts. This is when the crown is completely bald and there are weak and sparse hairs on the sides. When it comes to 8000 graft hair transplants, we can talk about the longest hair transplant operation period. So, you can expect an operation of around 8 hours. The operation can be completed in a single session or it can be divided into several sessions depending on the need. There are a few breaks in each session.

Methods Used in Graft Hair Transplant

In recent years, minimally invasive graft harvesting techniques have become the first choice of surgeons. The most common techniques preferred by surgeons are:

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

It involves removing single follicular units from the donor area directly using a small punch tool. This method leaves small circular scars that are less noticeable than with strip harvesting.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

It involves simultaneous extraction and transplantation of the follicles using a specialized tool called a Choi implanter pen. It is similar to FUE and this technique minimizes the time hair follicles spend outside the body and reduces trauma to the grafts.

Robotic Hair Transplantation

It uses robotic systems to assist in the extraction of hair grafts with precision and consistency. The ARTAS system is one example of a robotic hair transplant technology.

Sapphire FUE

The surgeon uses a special sapphire blade to make the incision during the FUE procedure. The use of sapphire blades can result in smaller, more precise incisions and potentially faster healing times.

Who is eligible for 8000 graft hair transplant?

An individual who needs 8000 grafts has a serious baldness problem. Although factors such as the size of the head, its structure, hair style and hair shape change the amount of grafts needed, the need for 8000 grafts corresponds to the most advanced stage of the Hamilton-Norwood Scale.

People who meet the following criteria may be eligible for an 8000-graft hair transplant:

• People with well-defined male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness.
• People with hair loss from scalp injuries, scarring, or cosmetic surgery procedures.
• People with severe hair loss at the temples and in the crown of the head, and/or around the hairline.
• Individuals without serious health problems, suitable for surgical procedure.
• Individuals who are not allergic to anesthesia.
• People who want to have more dense hair.
• People for whom non-surgical treatment methods are not effective.

If you meet more than one of these criteria, you may be a suitable candidate for surgery. However, it is very important to realize that you must follow the postoperative care instructions and that the process is not just about the surgery. The grafts will be very sensitive for the first 10 days post-op. You should not touch them, scratch them and act in accordance with your surgeon’s instructions.

Which hair transplant method should i prefer?

You can decide which technique to choose together with your surgeon. Not every technique may meet your needs. The 8000-graft hair transplant requires a complicated surgery and very few techniques can go up to 8000 grafts. The FUE technique stands out as modern and less invasive. Therefore, the best technique should be determined through a consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon.
