    Female Hair Transplant

    A woman should never lose her right to feel feminine especially through something that is beyond her control. We understand what a sensitive subject hair loss in women really is, and the benefits women can obtain for undergoing hair transplants. It doesn’t take a doctor to understand how restoring a woman’s hair can help restore that spring in her step and make her feel like the woman she deserves to be. However, it does take highly trained doctors like ours to do what we do, and with the level of patient care at the standard that we deliver it, we ensure that we make a personally challenging and particularly sensitive time in your life, one of comfort and one with life changing results.

    Suitable candidates for Female Hair Transplant

    According to experts a very small percentage of women are candidates for hair transplant surgery. About 2% to 5% of women with hair loss will benefit from this type of procedure. They are:

    • Women who have suffered hair loss due to mechanical or traction alopecia (nonhormonal);
    • Women who have had previous cosmetic or plastic surgery and are concerned about hair loss around the incision sites;
    • Women who have a distinct pattern of baldness, similar to that of male pattern baldness. This includes hairline recession, vertex thinning (on the crown or top of the scalp), and a donor area that is not affected by androgenetic alopecia;
    • Women who suffer hair loss due to trauma, including burn victims, scarring from accidents, and chemical burns;
    • Women with alopecia marginalis, a condition that looks very similar to traction alopecia.

    The Procedure

    Female Hair Transplant can be highly successful and comfortable for women looking for a permanent solution for hair loss. The procedure starts with the extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor part of the body which is usually the back and the sides of the head. These individual follicles are then implanted in the recipient area.

    When performing hair transplant procedures for women the basic principles remain, however, there is an important difference that should be noted. Women are able to undergo a hair transplant procedure without shaving their head completely. A small window is created in the donor area, with only this part being shaved. Thus, it is possible for the existing hair to conceal the small shaved area.

    1.How does Female Hair Transplant work?

    The general procedure of hair transplant surgery involves moving healthy hair follicles from one location on the scalp and transplanting them to places on the scalp, face, or body lacking hair density. Hair transplant surgery on the scalp works very well for Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) caused by hormone changes because the transplanted hair follicles are not vulnerable to hormones in the same way the follicles on the top of the head are.
    Hair transplant surgery is also a great option for those with permanent hair loss due to traction alopecia. This type of hair loss is caused by frequently wearing tight or heavy hairstyles like very tight ponytails or buns, and many protective styles like braids, cornrows, and Bantu knots. The lost hair from traction alopecia can grow back naturally if given time, but hair transplant surgery is the only way to regain hair that is permanently lost. The transplanted hair will continue growing as long as the patient avoids the type of hairstyles that caused their traction alopecia originally.

    • Crash dieting or poor nutrition
    • Birth control pills
    • Hairstyles that stress the scalp (traction alopecia)
    • Extreme stress
    • Iron deficiency
    • Hormonal imbalances (Pregnancy and Menopause for example)
    • Major surgery
    • Medications
    • Endocrine conditions that affect thyroid function
    • Systemic diseases like lumps
    • Genetics
    • Hormones

    The evaluation of female hair loss is different than in men.

    We take your hair loss seriously by performing a disease specific medical evaluation. A complete medical history is the first step in evaluating women with hair loss and this is done during your online consultation.

    Diffuse hair loss is caused by a variety of conditions other than “hereditary balding.” A disease-specific work up is important because it establishes whether hair loss treatment is managed by medical, surgical, or a combination of both treatment options.

    The final decision to have surgery is generally dependent upon whether your hair loss appears to have stopped, your loss is mainly at the hairline, and balding is concentrated in one or two areas.

      Eyebrow Transplant

      Thin eyebrows went out of style years ago, but some of us are still stuck in the past and not by choice. Whether you over-tweezed in high school, are experiencing hair loss in your brow area due to age, alopecia, chemotherapy, or something else, chances are you’ve become quite dependent on that eyebrow pencil or gel.

      When it comes to eyebrow growth serums, the reviews are mixed and results tend to only last as long as you use the products. Microblading only offers temporary results, comes with the risk of infection or allergy, and if not performed properly, can leave permanent scarring or disfigurement.

      Fortunately, there’s another option that offers natural-looking and permanent results: Eyebrow Transplants. Performed by certified hair restoration professionals in Antalya, this popular procedure offers stellar results for our patients.

      What is an Eyebrow Transplant

      Much like a traditional hair transplant, an eyebrow transplant is a permanent, surgical procedure in which hair is taken from a donor site (think: the back of the head) and reharvested. In this case, it is transplanted to the eyebrow area.

      Our DHI doctors are specialized in this technique so every gesture throughout the procedure is calculated and exact, making your brows a true work of art.

      The Procedure

      Prior to your Eyebrow Transplant, your hair restoration specialist will design and outline your desired eyebrow shape with a surgical marker. The doctor will take your feedback and aesthetic goals into consideration while planning your treatment.

      Similar to the Hair Transplant procedure, the hair restoration surgeon will employ local anaesthetics to numb the area. The surgeon then extracts the hair follicles from the donor area and carefully grafts them into the recipient area.

      Depending on how many hairs are going to be transplanted, the procedure can last anywhere between 3 to 5 hours. Accuracy and precision are the key to a successful eyebrow transplantation.

      Our hair restoration doctors take great pride in their scrupulous approach in the placement of each individual follicular graft. They ensure every single hair has been placed in the correct direction, angle and orientation resulting in fuller, thicker and natural results. The procedure can involve the transplanting of 50 to as many as 500 grafts per eyebrow.

      1.What are the benefits of Ryebrow transplants as opposed to Microblading?

      Eyebrow transplants are the best way to achieve permanent, three-dimensional eyebrows. With transplantation, your own hair is transferred typically from the back of the head to your brow region to create a new, fuller eyebrow. Hairs grow naturally and are permanent. Microblading, on the other hand, is a method by which pigment is used to create the appearance of hairs within the very outer layers of the skin. This process is not real hair, does not give a three-dimensional look, and tends to fade over time, so it’s a process that must be repeated to maintain results.

      In general, most patients are appropriate candidates for the Eyebrow transplant. Because the best-quality donor hair is typically found on the back of the scalp, straight to slightly wavy hair is ideal for best results since very curly hair could translate to curl within the brows. Reasonable good medical condition is important to minimize the risk of complications. In addition, patients who have lost their eyebrow hairs as a result of genetics, over-plucking, or trauma are generally the best candidates. Patients with alopecia and other medical causes for hair loss are not typically good candidates and would need to be evaluated on an individual basis.

      Most patients will only need to undergo the procedure once to achieve their goals. In some cases, such as in-patients who have scar tissue from traumatic injury or due to procedures like microblading and tattooing, a second procedure may be required. This is because scar tissue has reduced blood flow and some of the transplanted follicles may not “take” as well as when there is no scar tissue present. Many patients who have had microblading or tattooing of their eyebrows, however, do not require a second procedure.

        Beard Transplant

        The ever-growing beard and moustache styles and trends have further reinforced many men’s natural desires to have thick, luscious facial hair. Unfortunately, not every man can make that happen on his own. While some men hit the genetic jackpot for body hair, others lean more towards a clean-shaven look without even having to shave.

        Lucky for those who want a beard but can’t seem to accomplish the feat on their own, DHI Beard Transplants are a thing now. This helpful procedure can do for you what your body can’t. Usually, with a transplant from the hair on a different spot on your body, the hair is moved to the lower half of the face so that a beard or mustache can soon grow back.

        Thinking of getting a beard transplant but don’t know enough to make a decision? You’ve come to the right place.

        What is a Beard and Moustache Transplant?

        This type of hair restoration is gaining more and more popularity and is a cosmetic procedure that is not invasive, does not take much time to be executed, and the recovery period is also quite straight forward.

        Quite simply, it’s an implantation of hair follicles into any bald patches on the face. The hair follicles are removed individually from the back of the scalp as this is the area where the hair is the thickest, then the surgeon places each follicle in the indicated facial area that requires a thicker hair density. This gives instant fullness to the mustache or beard as required. If you are familiar with ordinary hair transplants, then the beard transplant applies the same technique.

        Once the process of implantation of the follicles is completed, the beard should start growing immediately, giving fast and satisfactory results. Usually men who have undergone this procedure are able to shave after just fourteen days, and the new hair can be styled similarly to the already existing hair. However, it’s not unusual to find that the new hairs actually fall out after two to three weeks, and although it seems as though the transplant may have been unsuccessful, it’s actually a normal process and indication of a positive response to transplantation. Once it has fallen out, the hair will start growing back permanently, although it might take three to four months while the papillae need some time to adjust and grow ‘roots’ after the shock of implantation. Full growth can be expected in about six to eight months. The success rate on this procedures is very high and the new hair is a permanent addition; it will have the same texture and characteristics as normal hair and can be styled just like natural hair once settled.

        The Procedure

        DHI Beard and Moustache transplant procedure takes about 3-5 hours to complete, depending on the area covered and the beard density you are looking for.

        • The doctor thoroughly designs the beard or moustache area according to the needs and wishes of the patient, to determine a defined symmetry.
        • The number of the required hairs and the kind of hair follicle required for a natural result and density are counted.
        • The required hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually from the scalp).
        • The extracted hair follicles are placed into the beard or moustache area, and thanks to the DHI procedures and techniques performed by our qualified and trained doctors, there is complete control over the angle, depth and direction of the transplanted hair to achieve a nice and natural-looking result.
        1.Is the Beard transplant procedure similar to the Hair transplant procedure?

        Allthough there are some slight differences, a Beard transplant procedure, both in terms of process and technique is quite similar to a Hair transplant which involves extracting donor hair from the scalp. Your specialist chooses the hair, which closely matches your facial hair and then carefully transplants it to the recipient site.

        In cases of those with a balding head, our DHI certified doctor may extract donor hair from chest hair.

        Approximately one week after the moustache or beard transplant, the transplanted area will look very natural. The donor area will heal in about 15 days, after which you will have the same natural appearance that you had before the operation. You are well on your way to facial hair restoration, and any side effects are rare.

        Recovery time and instructions are the same as the normal DHI hair transplant procedures. Typically, you must avoid direct sun exposure on the area for 2 months. You should avoid shaving or trimming the area for one month, and avoid intense friction, water pressure, or hot water on the area for one month as well. You may gently wash and moisturize the face each day, as you would in a normal setting. The transplanted hairs will fall out within the first month (or in the weeks following). Then, after six months, patients should see most of the final result. Depending on the number of follicles transplanted, it may take 12 to 18 months before everything is growing naturally and normally, as if it had always been there.

        For the vast majority of patients, all transplanted hair should lasts a lifetime. In some cases, a small percentage of transplanted hair may be lost as the patient ages.

        Patients who are onsidering a hair transplant in any form should also keep in mind that hair transplants do not have any effect on hormones or the cells and signals that trigger hair growth, they do not treat the cause of thinning hair that eventually leads to hair loss. Unfortunately this means the benefits of a hair transplant can be limited depending on the pattern of your hair loss. If a hair transplant is not supplemented by appropriate medical therapy, there is allways the chance that your hair will continue to thin until it’s lost altogether. This means a hair transplant procedure will need to be repeated for sustained hair coverage, but this can only be done if there is hair available for transplant in your donor area.

        Some of these appropriate medical therapies are:

        • Finasteride (DHT protector, pill – limited to a percentage of males);
        • Minoxidil (topical, hair growth cycle extender topical);
        • Hair Regeneration (stem cell catalyst, injection).

          Hair Transplant

          DHI hair transplantation is the most advanced hair transplantation technique. At the beginning of the century it became the latest technique that evolved out of the FUT-Strip technique. It was developed by the same team who introduced the FUE technique. In 2010, research in hair transplantation led to the development of Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), and today, Direct Hair Implantation® has been widely performed worldwide as a technique that makes patients hopes and expectations come true.

          With DHI hair transplantation or Direct Hair Implantation, the hair follicles are individually placed in sparse areas on the scalp. Each hair follicle is placed in a certain direction, angle and depth, providing 100% natural results and maximum applicability thanks to DHI-patented instruments.

          The entire procedure is carried out by our trained and certified doctors in Antalya, under strict DHI quality standardization protocols set up to achieve excellent results every time.

          Suitable candidates for DHI Hair Transplantation

          Weither a patient is suitable for DHI Hair Transplantation is conclusively determined after examination of both the donor hair area as well as the recipient area.

          It is however possible to give some general guidelines to give an idea on who will or can make a suitable candidate for this procedure:

          • During the procedure donor hair is harvested from a different area on the patient’s scalp. This means that the hair coat on the donor area should have an appropriate density. If you don’t have sufficient hair-growth in the donor area (just above the neck), grafts can be taken from the beard area. And if the density of the beard is not sufficient, sometimes chest-hair can be used as well.
          • Technically DHI hair transplantation can be applied to all suitable patients starting from the age of 18 and upwards. However since hair loss in between the age of 18 to 25 is quite unpredictable, we reccomend to perform this procedure on patients aged over 25.
          • People with thicker hair usually achieve better results than people with thinner hair. This is because thicker hair gives each hair follicle more coverage.
          • Patients with hair loss in only one region are usually the best candidates for the DHI technique. Especially since use of the DHI technique enables a very dense implantation of hairs.
          • People with light hair or with a hair color close to their skin tone often achieve the best results.
          • DHI Hair transplantation is known to be applicable to straight and thick Asian type of hairs, since DHI was originally developed in that part of the world. However it can just as easily be used to transplant thinner and curly hair types.

          The Procedure

          During the extraction of the hair follicles, each hair follicle is extracted one by one from the donor area using a specially designed disposable instrument with a diameter of 1 mm or less. The follicles are then preserved at a certain temperature, in a solution that improves the quality of the grafts without separating, cutting or generally touching them.

          In the insertion step, the hair follicles are implanted directly into the area where the hair loss occurs, using a patented tool called DHI Implanter which has a diameter of 1 mm or less, without forming a hole or slot.

          With DHI hair transplantation, full control of the placement depth, direction and angle of each graft ensures 100% natural results and maximum applicability.

          1.The advantages of DHI hair transplantation
          • With DHI hair transplantation, patients do not have to shave their head completely before the procedure if they wish.
          • Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) treatment is suitable for both male and female patients.
          • In most cases, patients can go back to work the next day after the session.
          • In cases of excessive hair loss and when the hairs on the back of the head are not sufficient to cover the recipient area, it is possible to use face and body hair.
          • Since the implanted hair will not fall out, a long-term medication is not required. However, medications are recommended to prevent thinning and loss of existing hair.

          It takes 12 months to see complete results and full hair growth, but results including anterior hairline treatment become visible within two months.

          Unlike other hair transplantation methods – such as FUE and FUT (Strip) – with Direct Hair Implantation, there are no cuts or holes in the recipient area. The hair follicles are implanted directly into the area with the patented DHI Implanter tool. This allows full control of the depth, direction, and angle of placement of each graft. As opposed to other hair transplantation methods, DHI or Direct Hair Implantation method does not include scalpels, receiving incisions or stitches. Follicular hair units are extracted one by one using a specially designed disposable instrument with a diameter of 1 mm or less to avoid trauma to the area.

          With DHI Direct Hair Implantation, there is no transformation of hair follicles to avoid the risk of necrotic debris and also to avoid the effects of being out of their natural environment for a long time. Instead, the hair follicles extracted with DHI Direct Hair Implantation are placed directly and maintained at a certain temperature and in a solution that increases their growth after placement. It is performed by highly experienced surgeons and teams specialized in this field. DHI Hair Transplantation provides 100% safe, natural results with maximum applicability.

          Following a DHI Hair transplant, the first few days after the procedure the patient can expect mild swelling in the forehead area which usually begins on day three and will completely dissolve in a few days. The patient also develops small blood crusts at the transplanted area and these are expected to fall out completely after the 10th day.

          The patient is expected to resume his/her daily activities within 48 hours after the procedure, however strenuous activities needs to be avoided for up to 4 weeks. Shedding of the implanted hairs is to be expected within a couple of weeks and will then begin to re-grow after 3 to 4 months. The final results will typically be seen 12 months after the procedure, however by the fifth to sixth month the patient can expect to see considerable new hair growth.

            Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS™)

            While many patients are interested in bariatric surgery, the fear of undergoing an invasive procedure may stop you from experiencing the incredible treatment benefits.

            The Single Incision Laparoscopic Sleeve (SILS™) uses just one small incision, reducing recovery time, discomfort, and visible scarring.

            What is a SILS™?

            Because of its many benefits, SILS™ is rapidly becoming a popular laparoscopic weight loss surgery all over the world.

            While a traditional Gastric Sleeve requires four to six small incisions, the single-incision sleeve gastrectomy is performed with only one single incision through the belly button. The surgeon uses laparoscopic tools to access the treatment area through a specialized SILS™ Port placed over the incision.

            For the patient, this technique means little to virtually no scarring, reduced post-operative pain and a quicker recovery. Because SILS™ is less invasive than the traditional Gastric Sleeve and simpler than Gastric Bypass surgery (Roux-en-Y), it also has lower complication rates.

            The Procedure

            The surgeon performs the Single Incision Sleeve (SILS™) by entering the abdomen and gaining access to the stomach through the belly button. Once the stomach is reached, he gently cuts and reduces about 80% of the stomach. Since only the stomach is removed, the chances of vitamin deficiencies and “dumping” syndrome are highly unlikely as with the Gastric Bypass.

            Sometimes, there is a small possibility you could need a second, very small incision for a drain to be put in. If it is needed, the scar in most cases is not even noticeable and often resembles a “scratch” as some patients describe it.

            1.Candidates for the procedure

            Not everyone is a candidate for SILS™. Your Body Mass Index (BMI), earlier weight loss attempts and previous surgeries all play a role in determining your candidacy for the procedure. If you have a BMI between 34 and 39, or if you have 32 BMI and as well as certain co-morbidities, you may qualify for this surgery. Your medical coordinator can counsel you during the decision-making process to ensure that you receive the best treatment for your goals.

            • Quicker Recovery Time and Reduced Postoperative Pain
            • Minimally Invasive
            • Smaller scars for better cosmetic results

            We are happy to go over the risks and benefits of the single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS™) with you, so you can ask any questions you may have and ultimately feel confident about your weight loss procedure decision.

            Single incision laparoscopic surgery is just one of many options you have for bariatric surgical procedures. Contact us at WhatsApp number +90542 52 51 64 to learn more.

              Revision Surgery

              While bariatric surgery is commonplace and growing in popularity and use, there will be rare occasions when complications arise. In most cases, this is because the patient was unable to follow the prescribed post-op plan and a healthy lifestyle, this leading to either not losing weight or even gaining weight.

              However, there have been times when complications from the surgery itself mean a revisional procedure is needed. This could be from leaking staples that cause pain, a slipped band causing nausea, or an enlarged gastric pouch that promotes weight gain. In some cases, scar tissue can build up, closing passages that allow food to enter the digestive tract.

              All of this information will be taken into account before a revisional procedure will be performed.

              What is Revision Surgery?

              Our surgeons will look at the details of each patient’s history and make recommendations to help determine if revisional surgery is indeed feasible. On a case by case basis, we will investigate why a revisional surgery might be needed, whether it can be performed, or if other solutions exist.

              In general terms, revisions of previous weight loss operations or conversions from one type of bariatric operation to another are possible. We have had excellent success in this area, but several things should be kept in mind when making the decision to have another procedure done:

              1. Revisional operations have a higher complication rate than “first time” operations – primarily because of the scar tissue requiring more dissection of the tissues. The scar tissue and the resultant dissection may result in healing problems.
              2. Revisional operations require a “restart” from a psychosocial standpoint – that is to say, you must change what you do, as the operations are only a tool (this is our philosophy for “first time” patients as well).
              3. While revisional operations can be effective, they are usually less effective than first-time operations – you tend to lose less excess weight than “first-time” operations.

              Revision Surgery Pre-Op

              If a patient has already had bariatric surgery, they should be familiar with the pre-op protocol. However, MIC treats every procedure the same. That is, all of our patients go through the same screening process whether they are familiar with the process or not.

              The reason we do this is that something didn’t happen the way it should have. So our surgeons will talk with each patient before determining if a revisional treatment is the proper course of action. This discussion will cover patient history.

              This is especially important if our doctors didn’t perform the initial surgery. The more information we have, the better we can diagnose the patient’s issues and recommend solutions. In some situations, laparoscopic surgery may not be utilized if there is too much scar tissue from the first operation.

              We also want to make sure you understand the necessary dietary restrictions as well as exercise requirements. We will want to know if you were able to comply with the post-op diet or stick with a physical activity schedule.

              There are many factors why an initial Gastric Sleeve, Lap Band, Gastric Bypass or other bariatric surgeries didn’t perform as it should. That’s why we repeat the process once again to make sure everyone is on the same page before proceeding with the revisional procedure.

              1.Am I eligible for Revision Surgery?

              You are eligible for revision surgery with us when:

              • You have a body mass index in excess of 35 (this limit may be reduced for those with type 2 diabetes and those with Asian/African ethnicity – due to increased Diabetes risk), you have attempted to work with your primary weight loss procedure and you are gaining weight, or;
              • You have a body mass index above 30 and you are experiencing a complication with your primary procedure that necessitates surgical revision for safety reasons.

              Before considering surgery for anyone we would need to establish that you have made every effort to succeed with your primary procedure and that the potential to get this procedure working without the need for more surgery has been exhausted. This is most common for gastric band patients. We occasionally find that incorrect adjustment of the gastric band, or poor aftercare, was the reason for failure. The band or access port may also be leaking given the impression of failure, when in fact the problem is mechanical (and not with the patient). In cases like this we would always attempt to get the band working as it should before undertaking more surgery.

              When discussing the prospects of revision surgery with you, we are motivated by 3 things:

              1. Your safety and wellbeing – that your procedure can and will be undertaken safely;
              2. Your weight loss success – that you can expect to lose weight with the revision procedure, and;
              3. That the procedure will deliver the health benefits sought. This is particularly important for people already living with weight-related health problems.

              If you are eligible, based on the criteria above, it’s time to discuss your circumstances in more detail.

              After a “first time” operation, patients can expect to lose up to 70 percent of the excess (not overall) weight after the first six months. After that, weight loss will continue at a slower rate. To lose all of the excess weight you need to can take a year or two or more. A lot of it depends on the patient adhering to the plan set forth by our doctors.

              However, weight loss may not be as fast after a revisional surgery. It’s not impossible of course, but complications from the initial procedure may slow down the weight loss process. Much of this will be discussed with the patient before the revision takes place.

              If laparoscopic surgery isn’t possible because of scar tissue, open surgery will be necessary. This will delay the recovery time a day or two and may even extend a hospital stay by a night. But patients should be able to return to day-to-day activities almost immediately. Depending on what kind of work you do, you may even be able to return to work the same week.

              A lot of that depends on how you’re feeling in the days following the revisional surgery. The new diet will start right away, consisting mainly of liquids and supplements for the first two weeks. From there, soft proteins can be introduced over the following two weeks and after a month or two, a regular diet outlined by your doctor or consultant can begin.

              During the initial weeks, it’s important to stay hydrated, but be careful to not drink water to quicky. Your body is adjusting to the revisional surgery and will need to re-adapt to the changes. It won’t take long for hormonal changes in your body to start getting used to smaller portions and to feel full faster.

              Exercise is another aspect of the surgery that needs attention. MIC believes that a lifestyle change is required to lose weight, and revisional surgery is just one part. You won’t be jogging three miles at the start, but the idea is to move forward and improve your cardiovascular system, flexibility and strength.

              This is a life-long journey. While the path is narrow at the start, it will give you a solid foundation in the years to come.

              If there were complications during your original bariatric surgery, or the results weren’t as you hoped, consider reaching out to us. Our consultants will talk with you about the surgery, potential reasons why it didn’t work, and suggest a course of action.
