• As hair transplants are surgeries, you must
  expect wounds. And wounds are very likely to get
  infected. Infections can occur for many reasons,
  starting from the weather of your living place to
  your hygiene.
• Many patient concerns about the risk and hazards
  of infection for overall operating performance.
  The possibility of hair transplantation is an
  intrinsic fear of any treatment. We find
  ourselves looking for advice on keeping the wound
  clean, whether small or large, a piercing or a
  surgery.
• However, there are several perhaps less serious
  and mandible complications. Complications include
  pain, oedema, asymmetry, bleeding and so on.
  Additional less common postoperative
  complications include hypertrophic and keloid
  scarring, arteriovenous infection and fistula.
• In this article, we have arranged the pieces of
  information about Infected Hair Transplant. These
  pieces of information will help you a lot to keep
  yourself safe from these infections. Lets get
  started

Types of Hair Transplants
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) Method

• There are three types of hair transplant methods.
  The best option for you will depend on your
  individual needs and the recommendations of your
  physician. Lets get to know them

• To extract follicles from the donor area, the
  doctor will use a small punching instrument.
• Although it also creates a scar, it will be less
  visible, and the individual wont usually need
  stitches. FUE includes extracting the hair
  follicles from a donors site and transferring
  them to form a more extensive, natural hairline.
• This approach removes longitudinal scars and
  specialised treatment of the wound, while the
  detailed FUE procedures take time in surgery. FUE
  also tends to minimise downtimes and pain after
  the treatment.

2. Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) Method

• The FUT hair transplantation procedure involves
  removing a strip of skin from the donors hair
  follicles site, usually the back of your head.
  This skin is removed and primed for
  transplantation in small groups of tissue
  containing hair follicles.
• A surgeon removes a skin strip from the back or
  side of his head during FUT surgery and extracts
  individual hair follicles. The follicles are then
  incorporated into your scalps balding areas. The
  easiest way to cover a hairline affected by
  masculine style shallowness is to go through
  surgery.
• Usually, FUT is less costly than the FUE phase
  that is similar.

3. Follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS) Method

• In this method, the surgeon takes a skin strip
  from the donor region and stitches the incision.
  A microscope can separate the donor skin and
  position them on the target region into small
  follicular units containing one or more hair
  follicles.
• It consists of a procedure in which a thin strip
  of healthy hair-bearing skin is collected and
  moved from a permanent region of the scalp to
  an area of hair loss (non-permanent). FUSS needs
  medium ability, which takes less than FUSS but
  notes that FUSS will yield excellent outcomes if
  the surgeon has advanced professional expertise.

Infection After Hair Transplant

• The risk of infection is a fear inherent to every
  procedure, regardless of whether small or large,
  perforating or operating. As a patient, we use
  the internet to receive recommendations on the
  protection of complex microbial organisms. Small
  injuries cause hair transplants, in particular
  the FUE, to be considered microsurgery.
• However, this does not mean you are free of risk,
  as you know which other micro-sizes are
  available. Bacteria. Bacteria. There is a risk of
  infection where there are wounds. Fortunately,
  the threat of hair transplant infection can be
  dealt with! Read the article after surgery to
  protect your scalp and hair.

Possibility of Infection from Hair Restoration

• The risk of infection during hair transplant
  operation and after the procedure is relatively
  low due to modern surgical techniques and
  technology developments. That being said, there
  is no eliminated chance of infection. The risk of
  infection following an operation is always a
  minor one. Here you should know everything about
  infected hair transplant.
• Fortunately, a lot can be done to avoid infection
  and control infections. Proper infection
  prevention treatment may protect a hair
  transplantation site and graft area from harm and
  lead to reliable results.

To avoid infections
Avoid Dusty Places

• Keep these things in mind to avoid to prevent
  yourself from getting infections in the first
  place.

• A patient can return to work after the procedure
  during a hair transplant operation. It can vary,
  however, depending on the style of work and
  health. If dirt and bacteria are exposed during
  your job, stop going to the workplace for two
  weeks.
• Likewise, dont carry out daily activities that
  will take two weeks to touch the soil. Report it
  to the doctor immediately if you suffer from
  discomfort, redness or swelling during the
  operation.

Avoid Exercise
Avoid Swimming

• It is only after one month that patients are
  recommended to return to the gym. Any workout
  that strains or sweats the body should be
  avoided. The risk of scalp infection is increased
  by sweating. This also means that you must stop
  going under the sun or doing sex.

• Following a month of hair transplantation, you
  will go to the beach. The pools chlorinated
  water will damage the greased follicles. Public
  beaches are packed with foreign bacteria, often
  an infection vector. Make sure that you stay away
  from them. Make sure you consult your doctor
  beforehand if you are confused about going
  somewhere.

Avoid touching the scalp
Avoid smoking or drinking

• The skin is surrounded by micro-scars after hair
  transplantation, creating routes for germs, and
  should be avoided regularly. We use them to hit
  all things full of microorganisms. We are the
  dirtiest body component of our hands.
• The germ collection is moved to the micro-scar if
  you put your hand on the scalp. Therefore, only
  if your hands are sanitised and purified you can
  touch the scalp.

• You know, cigarettes and alcoholic drinks are
  never successful at medications cigarette
  smoking and alcohol delays the process of
  wound-healing. You should not drink or smoke
  anything because the risk of infection is
  increased.

11
Caring for your scalp after surgery

• Your scalp may be slightly painful immediately
  following the procedure. Your health professional
  will prescribe medicines for pain or suggest pain
  relief medications on a routine basis. Tylenol or
  Advil, for example. After the procedure, bandages
  should be kept for several days.
• To reduce the risk of infection, proper washing,
  and wound treatment should be fully explained.
  To prevent infection and reduce swelling,
  antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs may be
  prescribed. In a week to 10 days, stitches will
  likely be removed.

Some Important FAQS
How much does 1500 hair grafts cost?
Is there any disadvantage of a hair transplant?

• We assume you may have confusions after the above
  discussion. So we have gathered a few question
  and answers which may help you to understand the
  discission better.

• You will get 9,225, or around the national
  average of a NeoGraft hair transplant, for 1,500
  grafts and 5,925 for the same number of grafts.

• You may feel numbness or loss of feeling in the
  scalp areas that were under treatment. Hair
  follicles known as folliculitis may face
  inflammation or infection shock loss or sudden
  but usually temporary hair loss.

13
Can you be too bald for a hair transplant?
Can you do FUE after FUT?
Do FUE scars fade?

• Unfortunately, hair transplantation is not
  feasible if bald. A transplant of hair is
  groundbreaking therapy, but not magic. In brief,
  the procedure operates by extracting and
  transplanting hair follicles from one section of
  the scalp to another.

• After you have had FUT surgery, you can have an
  FUE hair transplant. Both procedures should not,
  however, be carried out in sequence. That is a
  mistake. So, you must be careful for at least
  10-12 months if you are looking at FUE hair
  transplantation after FUT surgery.

• FUE scars will dissipate with time, but they will
  remain the same size, and youll always see
  scarring if you wear your hair short.

14
Final Words

• As we mentioned at the beginning of our article,
  if you are going to have surgery, you must expect
  scar and potential infections from those scars,
  not necessarily if you maintain a hygienic life
  after the procedure. Still, there is always some
  level of risk.
• We have arranged an easy to understand guide to
  help you with the infection you could have after
  hair transplantation. We hope it will help you
  to prevent the infection in the first place.
