Dr. Venkat Ram Mysore, dermatologist and hair transplantation surgeon, at The Venkat Center in Vijayanagar, Bengaluru, Besides Vijayanagar Dr. Venkataram is also available for consultation at centers in Banashankari and Cunningham Road in Bengaluru.
So the question Dr. Venkataram provides an answer to in this video is, how a person can explain the look after a hair transplantation procedure or in Dr. Venkataram says, “How do we keep it a secret?”.
What is Made Obvious in Case of FUE Transplantation?
Trimming the hair in the FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction procedure is because the situation requires hair to be trimmed. In the Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT, trimming the hair at the donor site may not be necessary. In FUE, there will be crusting in the first week, which needs to be cleaned, and in the next phase the hair is shed.
It’s just the shaft of the hair, while the root remains in the scalp. It’s the look for the first two to three weeks that the patient will feel the need to explain the sudden trimming to people around them. The first observation is that the after two or three weeks the grafts will have the same length of the hair around the graft at about two millimetres.
Different Methods Suggested by Dr. Venkataram Mysore
A person can either wear a cap, starting off a few weeks prior to the procedure as seen in the case of a few celebrities who have suddenly changed their look into a more trimmed style. Besides this it’s also trendy to sport a trimmed look nowadays and this could be used as an explanation.
Caps are another alternative. Starting to wear a cap two to three weeks prior to the procedure may help a person keep the news of the transplantation procedure a secret. A third method is to state that a person went to a religious place such as Dharmastala or Tirupati where tonsuring is a practice.
Next, dusting the hair with hair fibres from brands like Toppik and other Indian variants will provide a dense look and serves as a camouflage, and conceals the fact that a person recently underwent a hair transplantation procedure.
The last method to keep hair transplantation a secret is to take the help of the long hair transplantation technique. The machine for this procedure is available at The Venkat Center. However, long hair transplant is expensive and not everyone is suitable for such a procedure.
Therefore, in conclusion, hair transplantation is a common procedure with no attached stigma. Maintaining short hair can provide a neat appearance, and options like trimming hair early, wearing a cap, or using camouflage powders can help conceal the procedure. You might explain your new look by saying you visited a religious place. Long hair FUE is another option, making the initial post-transplant weeks manageable. There’s no need for significant worry, as effective solutions are available.
