What is hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation, also known as follicular unit transplantation, is a common method of permanent hair loss correction. The principle is to extract follicular units (grafts) from the donor area (such as the back of the head), and then replant them to the hair loss area according to the natural hairstyle. This method can simulate the direction and density of hair growth and restore the natural appearance.
The main surgical methods are:
- FUT (strip extraction)
- FUE (single follicle extraction)
Which method to choose depends on the patient’s hair volume, donor area conditions, budget and doctor’s evaluation.
ISHRS’s “Operation Restore” Project Benefits
“Operation Restore” is a special project launched by the International Society of Hair Transplant Surgeons (ISHRS). It aims to help patients who have permanent hair loss due to accidents or diseases but cannot afford the cost of hair transplant surgery.
According to the official website, as of recently, the project has provided related surgeries and travel arrangements for more than 90 patients, with a total value of over $900,000.
Main benefits include:
Surgery matching service: The project evaluates the applicant's situation and matches them with approximately 97 ISHRS physicians worldwide, prioritizing nearby doctors.
Preoperative consultation mechanism: Patients can ask questions and view doctors' pre/post-op cases to build trust.
Travel arrangement support: If cross-regional travel is needed, the program assists with transportation and accommodation.
Who is eligible?
This project targets the following groups:
Permanent hair loss caused by accidental injury
Examples: burns, animal bites, post-trauma scarring
Hair loss caused by disease or treatment
Examples: alopecia areata, radiotherapy or chemotherapy-induced hair loss
Limited financial ability
Individuals who cannot afford hair transplantation on their own
Past successful cases include firefighters injured in hotel fires, burn-injured children, and cancer survivors. The surgeries significantly improved both appearance and self-confidence.
Why is hair transplantation particularly important?
Officials point out that non-genetic hair loss is often associated with trauma or medical treatment, heavily impacting self-image and confidence. Hair transplantation can restore appearance, help rebuild life confidence, and support social reintegration.
