THE statement that the brain often
sees physical shorthand to the soul is not an overstatement. In
fact, carefully shaped and styled hair is often associated with
trustworthiness, sincerity, or influence. It may also simply project
someone to be with a significant cultural or political position.
On the
contrary hair worn in a tangled and matted style may symbolize a
negative image, that of, an insincere, distrustful person or someone
with a bad reputation. What I mean is that we often subconsciously
judge a person only by what we see: hair, face, fashion accents,
clothes, skin color, nails etc. . . .
Although hair
loss will not make us physically ill, hair remains our crowning
glory. Loss of hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelash, genitalia,
chest and other parts of the body will always have emotional and
psychological consequences. Faced with this loss, patients often
find themselves making a decision: Should hair loss be accepted as a
fact of life or is hair restoration an option?
As Western and
Asian societies become more industrialized and more technologically
advanced, they also become more fashion conscious. For them having a
full head of a hair becomes a great concern.
Dermatologists,
enhancement doctors and aesthetic surgeons are also more aware today
of the necessity to take a patient’s hair loss seriously. That is
why they have developed ways to replace loss hair, eyebrows,
eyelashes, sideburns, forehead, etc. Nowadays, hair transplant and
replenishment are being done almost anywhere on the skin, wherever
the patient may wish to transplant hairs.
For the
eyebrows, hair transplant is a simple procedure. Although this is
quite tedious for the cosmetic surgeon, it is worth doing, due to
its excellent aesthetic results. For those whose eyelashes have
disappeared due to injury or disease, these can be replaced too
using scalp hairs, without an elaborate or high-tech instrument, but
just a simple curve, holed needle. Those with thinning hair, and who
wish to have more hairs in those two areas can now have bushy
eyebrows and thick, long lashes through transplants. Patients whose
sideburns have been obliterated or inadvertently displaced by
facelift procedures, can be restored too, just the way they want it
to be. Even chest hair can now be added
Technology and
science are truly amazing. All we need are competent professionals
to execute these procedures and voila, we can get instant hair!
