My Hair Is Thinning But I Don’t Want Surgery: What Should I Do?

Everyone loses hair. However, when you lose more hair than usual and thinning patches start to appear, it can be stressful to decide what to do next. It’s common for people to do nothing about their hair loss because they are unaware of the solutions available or are afraid surgery is their only option. Surgical hair transplants used to be the most common solution for hair loss but with the advancement of technology, there are more options than ever to choose the solution that works the best for you. Read this blog further to learn more about non-surgical hair loss solutions.

What’s The Problem with Surgical Hair Loss Solutions?

For anyone experiencing hair loss, hair transplant surgery can be a solution. However, it’s common for people to rush to get the procedure done without considering the process or if there are any side effects. While hair transplant surgery is typically a simple procedure, there are some complications or side effects that can occur.

1. Hair Thinning- after surgery you may notice your hair is thinning even more than before the procedure. This will occur at first, but your hair will get thicker a few months after surgery.
2. Itching and Swelling- itchy spots are common but typically only last a few days after surgery. Another side effect that lasts a few days after surgery is swelling around the forehead and eyes.
3. Cysts and Scars- It’s common for cysts to appear where the hair has been transplanted and last a few weeks after surgery. Some people may also experience scars after the procedure.

Opting for hair restoration surgery is a major decision for most people and will permanently change your appearance by transplanting hair from the back of your head to your thinning area. The ideal candidate for hair transplant surgery is an individual 40 years of age or older.
