Singer Slava Marlowe, who has been suffering from baldness for several years, decided to undergo a hair transplant operation. Most often, this problem is associated with a genetic predisposition, recalled trichologists. And it is impossible to predict when hair will begin to fall out - it can happen both at the end of puberty and after 50 years. People often decide to transplant hair for aesthetic reasons. He talks about how this operation is going. Slava Marlowe revealed on his Instagram that he underwent hair transplant surgery, posting a selfie with medical markings on his forehead.
“I’m doing what I want to hear, see you in a year,” he wrote (spelling and punctuation preserved).
The rapper told his subscribers about baldness a few years ago - he explained that the problem is related to a genetic predisposition. That is why he regularly appeared at events in a headdress.
Earlier, in November 2021, the ex-husband of TV presenter Ksenia Borodina, 41-year-old blogger Kurban Omarov, also underwent a hair transplant - he flew to Istanbul for the operation. “They take the hair from the back of the head for 20 minutes and then transfer it to the face for 6 hours. The hair was pulled out five thousand times and it was injected into the beard five thousand times. It didn't hurt, ”he shared on Instagram.
Actor Sergei Romanovich resorted to a similar procedure in 2018.
“The toughest thing was to endure the injections, especially in the chin area. I squeezed my legs, I think I even have bruises. I had a donor zone on the back of my head, and the bulbs were removed from there and transplanted onto my face. Seized about four thousand units, it is considered a lot. In total, the fence lasted four hours, and so did the setting. Naturally, there were breaks, ”he said in social networks.
Most often, patients with androgenetic alopecia go for hair transplant surgery, explained dermatovenerologist, trichologist Tatyana Egorova.
“Problems can appear after puberty - most often from the age of 23. But they can start at 50 and later, ”she said.
Also, an indication for surgery can be cicatricial alopecia - it can be caused by a traumatic effect on the hair follicles or a hereditary predisposition. In the latter case, patients have an overestimated hairline on the head or deep bald patches.
Other indications include: a previous inflammatory disease, as well as hormonally or genetically determined rare vegetation. Some just want to have a higher hair density, although they have no problems with hair loss, emphasized Egorova.
When transplanting, the patient's hair is first taken - there are several methods: manual, mechanical and patchwork, said trichologist Yulia Nagaitseva.
“The manual method is less traumatic and leaves no traces, and the patchwork method is when the skin is cut from which grafts will be taken (hair intended for transplantation -), and the edges are sutured. Further, the channels are being prepared in the problem area, ”the specialist explained.
The retrieved grafts with fully preserved hair structure are then inserted into the prepared canals, she continued.
“When the transplant ends, which is 8-10 hours, depending on the volume, a bandage is put on and the patient goes home. On the fourth day, he washes his own hair and removes the bandage. Often after 10-15 years, a second round of transplant is required, because the area of baldness may move, "added Nagaitseva.
Trichologists called such diseases as diabetes, hypertension and cancer contraindications to the operation. The patient can be admitted only after the permission of his attending physician.
“Sudden baldness may appear during chemotherapy, but no one will transplant hair there. Because, after all the courses of therapy are completed, the hair will grow back on its own - it does not need a transplant. The operation is done only if everything is hopeless - in those places where the hair will definitely no longer grow, ”concluded Yegorova.
