The hair transplant procedure is carried out by removing hair follicles typically from back of the scalp which is resistant to hair fall, isolating them and implanting them into hairless section of the scalp through tiny needle holes. Before starting the procedure, scalp is cleaned and sterilized with an anti-infective solution. Local anaesthesia is given to make the procedure pain free. The surgeon may perform hair transplant by one of the following techniques or both i.e FUT or FUE. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) A strip of hair is removed from the back of the scalp through a hidden incision within the hair. Using the microscope, hair follicles are separated and placed in groups. They are implanted into the planned treatment areas. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) Hair follicles are removed with the help of tiny punches from the back of the scalp (donor area). Although this technique also produces fine scars, it is much less noticeable and doesn’t require any stiches. The hair follicles are separated and implanted into planned treatment areas as described before. For the best results, you should follow all the post procedure instructions along with medical management for hair loss. The implanted hair falls off by 3 months and begins to regrow over next few months. The final results of hair transplant can be appreciated 9-12 months after the procedure.

It is one of the most complex surgeries, so it is important to find a board-certified plastic surgeon. During rhinoplasty, the cartilage and bones of the nose are modified and shaped to give an appealing look. The process of Rhinoplasty surgery includes: 1 . Anesthesia Before the surgery begins, the patient is given general anesthesia to provide comfort throughout the surgery. 2. The Incision There are two methods to perform rhinoplasty. Open Rhinoplasty In the open rhinoplasty procedure, incisions are made across the columella, which helps the surgeon to lift and shape the nose structure. Closed Rhinoplasty In the closed rhinoplasty procedure, incisions are made inside the columella, which gives the surgeon access to the nose through the nostrils. The type of rhinoplasty is selected based on the changes required. 3. Reshaping the nose structure The nose structure is reshaped by modifying the alignment of bones and cartilage to give you a sharper and straighter nose. Occasionally in primary and mostly in re-do nose jobs, additional cartilage from ribs or ears is needed to provide support to the nose. 4. Closing the incision After completing the reshaping process, the surgeon closes the incision and applies a cast which is removed at 7-14 days depending on the changes performed. Though the result of surgery is immediately visible on the removal of the cast, the final result can be appreciated only after 6 months to 1 year after surgery when all the swelling disappears.
