One of the most curious questions about hair transplants is whether a hair transplant is permanent or not. Most of the people who want to have a hair transplant are very curious about questions such as whether a hair transplant permanent, whether a hair transplant holds, and what is the success rate of a hair transplant. In this article, we will look for answers to these questions with you. So let’s get started.

To answer this question briefly, the transplanted hair remains on the scalp for a lifetime. A hair transplant is performed by transplanting hair follicles taken from the donor area to the bald area. The donor area is usually determined as the nape of the neck between the patient’s ears. The hair follicles in this donor area are genetically very strong. Even if a person experiences hair loss at a young age, you will see that there is strong hair in the nape area when he/she reaches the age of 70. In this respect, it is preferred to transplant the hair that is genetically difficult to fall out in the nape area to the frontal area with baldness.

We can say that a hair transplant in the hands of a qualified and expert team hair transplant permanent for life. It has been observed that 90-95% of hair transplanted in hair transplant procedures are performed by competent people. On the other hand, there may be a 10% hair loss after a hair transplant. This is an expected result by doctors.
According to experts, 15% or more hair loss after a hair transplant indicates that the hair transplant has failed. A hair transplant permanent does not mean that it will not be affected by environmental conditions. Patients should take good care of their hair after a hair transplant. When patients do not take good care of their hair, they may experience hair breakage or hair loss. This is an undesirable situation. Some of the conditions required for a hair transplant to be successful are as follows:

• The quality of the clinic, hospital, or institution that performs hair transplant and the hair transplantation process is performed by experts in the field,
• The donor area should be taken from the part with strong hair follicles that are genetically resistant to hair loss,
• Pay attention to the things recommended by the doctors after the operation. Shampoo, cream, and solutions recommended by the doctor should be used.

Is there a possibility that hair transplantation may not work? One of the things that people who want to have a hair transplant are most curious about is the possibility of a hair transplant not working. Hair transplants give 95% effective results when done in safe hands. However, in studies, there are cases where hair transplant does not work, albeit in a small percentage.
The reason for hair transplant procedures that do not work or are simply rejected by the body is generally known as Lichen Planus (LPP) syndrome. Lichen planus syndrome is a skin disease that affects different parts of the body, mostly the mouth and genital area. According to the procedures performed, 17 cases of LPP occurred 4-36 months after hair transplant surgery. However, according to thousands of positive hair transplant results, the rate of hair transplant failure is very low.
The transplanted hair begins to grow 6-12 months after hair transplantation. If you follow your doctor’s recommendations after a hair transplant and do your hair care procedures well, you will overcome the hair transplantation process in the healthiest way. In total, you will have healthy and strong hair after 1 year.
