Hair loss treatment and it’s relationship with heart disease | Everything you need to know is here!
If you are also facing the problem of hair loss or severe thinning hair, you must have thought about the option of natural hair loss treatments many times. Since the introduction of natural hair transplant methods, this surgery has become very popular. But what is the reason that many people still refuse to do this treatment?
One of the main reasons for the refusal of cosmetic hair transplant surgery is the thoughts that exist in the society. Unfortunately, in many cases, there is no clear answer to resolve these ambiguities. Today we are going to answer one of these ambiguities, namely the relationship between hair transplants and patients with heart disease.
The best way to answer this question is to examine the new and common methods of hair transplantation on one hand and the factors affecting the health of heart patients on the other hand.
New hair loss treatment methods:
During a method of natural hair transplantation, your cosmetic surgeon, uses advanced tools. They connect the hair of a part of your head to the parts where there is a need for hair transplantation with the help of these tools. This impression does not only include the hair, but also the vital organ of natural hair growth, namely the “follicle”. They separate the follicle from the hair, which makes this surgery last and causes the natural growth of your hair. Nowadays there are lots of hair transplant methods being performed around the world; but in this article we will only point to the most popular and common ones. If you like to read about other methods you can, read our article on hair transplant methods.
Micro FIT hair transplant method:
One of the newest hair transplant methods that has made this surgery very popular is Micro FIT natural hair transplant. In this method, the patient enjoys natural hair with the help of their hair bank. This method has many advantages over abnormal implant methods. The most important benefits of it are less pain, normal hair growth, the possibility of coloring or correcting implanted hair, and etc. Of course, eyebrow transplantation, which is a sub-branch of hair transplantation and related surgeries, is no exception to this rule; and in this article, wherever we talked about hair transplantation, we have considered all it’s sub-branches.
FIT and FUT hair loss treatment methods:
Today, these two methods are very popular in natural hair transplantation. In both methods, the individual’s hair is separated from specific areas where the hair grows and attached to other parts. The difference between the two methods is the type of hair removal.
In the FIT hair transplant method, the surgeon will separate the hair strands individually. And in the FUT method, they remove a strip of hair tissue for transplantation. But the side effects of both methods are the same except for a few small details. The point that can help us in our final conclusion about hair transplantation is the complications of these two surgeries.
Complications of using FIT and FUT methods
Usually, any surgery has it’s side effects. The same is true for natural hair transplants; but fortunately in using these two methods, it is unlikely that a dangerous and special complication will occur for the patient. Of course, going to a reputable center and a skilled surgeon greatly reduces this risk. Some of the complications of hair transplantation in this way are completely natural, which we will mention first.
Complications of hair transplantation are:
- Pain: Of course, this pain occurs on the first day and with low intensity. The pain is usually relieved with a painkiller prescribed by your specialist.
- Bleeding: Bleeding after surgery with these two methods is very low and will not pose a risk to you.
- Swelling: Swelling also occurs in the surgical area, which is normal and not dangerous depending on the operation performed on your head.
- Wounds: Of course, the extent of this wound depends on which of the two methods you use. In the FUT method, due to the fact that you remove a strip from the back of the head, more wounds remain on your head; but these wounds are also very small and disappear over time.
Aggravating factors of heart disease and it’s relationship with hair transplantation
Cardiovascular disease is a chronic disease that accompanies a person throughout life. This disease has different complications and causes, one of the most important of which is the blood pressure of the person. If a patient with heart disease adheres to her/his diet and medication, their life is not in danger. In fact, we can say that if the heart patient has their disease under control and their reaction to antihypertensive drugs is positive, they can perform hair transplant surgery or it’s sub-branches as a hair loss treatment.
On the other hand, if a person with a heart condition has a persistent high blood pressure problem and it is difficult for them to control it with medication, they should not have a hair transplant.
The relationship between heart disease and hair loss
But some people reject the above results, citing the fact that many heart patients have complications or their disease has become more acute after hair transplantation. In response to this claim, we must consider two important points.
- First, so far no scientific link has been found between hair transplantation and heart disease.
- And on the other hand, researches show that there is a direct relationship between heart disease and severe hair loss. People with hair loss, especially on the front of the head, are one-third more likely than normal people to have heart problems. This indicates that the heart problem in people who have had hair transplants is related to the preoperative period; and that is why they have referred to hair transplant centers for treatment.
The need for consultation before starting a hair loss treatment
Finally, considering all the points we mentioned in this article, we strongly advise you to consult a cardiologist and cosmetic surgeon before performing a cosmetic surgery. You should make sure your surgeon is aware of your general health condition; especially your heart condition and, of course, the medications you are taking. Depending on your condition, your specialist will advise you on whether or not to perform the operation; and also, will take the necessary precautions during the operation.
